picking up the bobbed duece (Road Trip)
I flew into Ohio, yesterday and hung around with George. I don't think he wanted me to leave with his baby. :) I was almost to Minnesota when I had an allergy reaction and my face swole up like a balloon. Popped a few Benadryl, and kept driving. I was...
Goose2448, that's what I want, is a rack up on top, maybe even covering the cab. I seen some pics of the Canadian Deuces with baskets on top of the cabs and liked that idea. Keep the ideas coming :-)
I'm flying from North Dakota this Sunday to pick up the Bobber from George Foster in Iowa. From there, driving to Minnesota to pick up a winch and install it from tie6044. Then head back to North Dakota / Montana to drill this next well, by next Thursday. I can't wait to see this, I feel like a...
crap, it's time to go to bed. Don't get online when you've been up for two days. I'll forget out later how to delete that last reply. It was the thought that counts :)
I'm in North Dakota working right now, but my father in law is heading to Fort Polk next week to pick up a few generators and a pump for me. He lives in Henderson, LA off of I-10 (right before the bridge going to Baton Rouge). I'm waiting till Monday to see if anyone else is picking up that...
some pics of the inside
I'm not with the truck, I'm in ND and the truck is in another state. George is really helping me out by getting this loaded for me for when I come pick this up from him. I'll take more pics and get the dimensions here in a few weeks. I love how this turned out. I was...
She's finally loaded and looking good. I'm curious is anyone else has done this and what things they've done. I was thinking I wanted a custom welded cargo rack on top with all the bells and whistles :)
thanks everyone for all the replies, answered all of my questions. Monday George is going to have this installed on the Bobbed Deuce for me with the help of some friends and a tractor. I'm anxious to see what it looks like in the end :) will post pics
I won a fiberglass enclosure off of GL. That being said, I have no idea what exactly it is. My invoice doesn't list what exactly it is. My questions are (1) what exactly do I have and (2) is it safe to pick this up from the (4) rings. On the web I found a picture of the same enclosure and the...
wanting to go cruising with my 5 Ton
I have about another month before I pick up my bobbed deuce and after that I'll make arrangements in getting my 5 Ton home (Lafayette). Looking forward to driving around with some other military trucks :) I guess at that point I'll tell my wife I bought...
I had the same problem, I needed to see my gauges since it's my daily driver. I was looking for a place to put my led strips (Walmart) and I had temporarilly set them on the ledge under the dash. When I sat up I noticed I could see all of my gauges :) With that widow under the back of the gauges...

The 24v Truck-Lite LED headlights ARE awesome! It's a very bright clear light. Driving up here in ND, the highways and roads are sooo long and flat, I was looking for something to light up the area. I've been watching eBay for awhile and finally picked up (2) sets of used LED...
RHudson85: are you somehow controlling the air pressure to the bags? My son and I bagged a full size truck and from the cab I would control the ride of the truck. It was an easy Front/Rear set up, controlled by (2) switches,(4) 3/4" valves, this helped when I had my bike or a load in the bed...
"For extra lights and electronics add a auxiliary 12 volt system with its own alternator and battery."
I went a different route... I purchased a 24v to 12v transformer from ebay which takes care of all my in cab accessories. I'm a gadget guy, and being an ex oilfield service tech, I'm used to...
