    Deuce vs. Pine Tree or not?

    4x4 was rite about soaking the roots and that they actually go down on pine trees really far. I wouldn't use the winch but a tow strap or rope. No need to take a chance on busting the winch. Save it for when you really need it. Just my thoughts CT

    Painting finally done!YooHooo

    Finally after 2 weeks on nonstop sanding by hand it's finally done. It was fire engine red when I picked it up from the sale.

    Let The Restoration Begin

    The cargo cover was on the very first deuce I ever bought. When I sold it the buyer didn't want to pay the asking price so the deal came out to be I would keep the cargo cover-bows and troop seats. I was glad it worked out that way because if you can find the cargo covers in the old style...

    Let The Restoration Begin

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    I would definately go with the air pressure. When I took my deuce to the tire shop I noticed the guy seemed to leave the inflation hose on the tires forever. He already had a few changed so I asked how much air he is putting in them and he said 100 psi. So I helped him put them all at 45 psi and...

    To Rebuild it or buy rebuilt?

    If the motor in question runs good other than the shavings and low oil pressure you mite consider installing a crank kit. We have customers in our shop who have these engines in their vehicles and seems that they are usually good for around 200-300,000 miles before a rebuild is necessary. Just...
