    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The other day, during my post winter shakedown drive, I gak-ed my drivers mirror on my fence while backing in (it popped the glass out of the frame which shattered when it hit the ground) Well I ordered two new mirrors from Bret Fox AKA fuzzytoaster. They arrived today & I installed them in...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yesterday was the first time taking out the truck since I parked it for winter. Over the past few weeks I have been knocking out some basic maintenance (greasing zerks, fluid checks, etc). Today I changed out the front/pass axle boot and went for a shakedown run. The truck performed great. The...

    ROLL CALL: "West Texas Detachment" Identify Yourselves, Please.

    Welcome! Sanderson is a cool little town (& that whole area is just AWESOME). I almost ended up working there for the Terrell County Sheriff's Office (this was back in 2009) but they called me two days after I had already accepted a position with another law enforcement agency.

    3 fire dpt M548s w/glamour shots

    The exo cages are used just for that reason. If the 548s were used a brush trucks (which is how they were painted/outfitted) then they would be driving through fields, trees, etc while fighting fires. My local VFD adds exo cages to their M35A3s, and M35A2s to protect the firemen/women & the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Took it for a nice "sunday drive" (on a tuesday). It was the first time in about 2 months I have taken it out. I noticed the clutch engagement was now at the last 1in to 1/2in of the pedal throw...so that means I need to crawl under the truck and adjust the clutch engagement so I don't gak my...

    The unofficial g749 picture thread

    M135 I spotted @ the military vehicle museum in Houston, TX. 90% of their vehicles are member owned, tagged, & fully functional. If you have a change to visit the museum I highly recommend it. They have all kinds of military vehicles from mechanical mules to HEMTTs to M114s to functional...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    went to the tx dmv to see why my new tags have not arrived (I renewed in early may and my temp plate expired yesterday). Well the dmv tag shipping folks claim that someone at the house "refused to accept the package and they were returned"...maybe the were at the wrong house?? The plates were...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I re-installed my cargo top today after having the old dry-rotted straps replaced at a local boat cover pace. I also found a new hole I need to patch in the rear cargo corner (can be seen in pics). I also replaced the only wooden cargo bow I had with a steel one from the parts bin along with...

    Lubbock, TX MV lunch

    Our Lubbock lunch/hang-out was a blast! 5 of us showed up, hung out, and ate tasty food. There were two MVs (the other guys rigs were temporarily down but should hopefully be out next time) and the rest were daily drivers. Here are a few pics:
