    on board Air pressure question

    That is a good idea. I might have to make me one.

    The city is making me sell my truck.

    This problem exists everywhere in our country. The problem is really two fold. Some people just can't mind their own business and are bent on telling others what to do using the authorities to do it. The others that do mind their own business just want to be left alone and don't want to fight...

    Dont run into an m35a2

    Funny how the ladies can turn any event to be a man's fault somewhere along the line. You parked the truck where I could not see it. You did not put orange cones around it. You did not clean the mirros on my car. You were born. You ate the apple in the Garden of Eden. I have found most of the...

    Winter storage ,keep the critters out of the cab.

    My farm is in a creek bottom where we have loads of mice, cottontail bunnies, prarie dogs, moles and voles, and pack rats. Dryer sheets: Effectiveness Fair: They worked for a few weeks and then the mice used them for TP. One would have to replace the sheets twice a month IMO. Decon...

    I think it is time to start Drinking !!!

    Sounds like a frustrating situation. I hate it when that happens. There are a lot of good sources for parts and supplies here. Have you thought about buying a parts truck and having it shipped up? I know you are trying to fix it on the cheap but experience shows that cheap with a MF motor costs...

    M-35 cab heater

    I have the hot water cab heater in mine. With the insulated vinyl soft top and exterior temps of 15-20*F it is luke warm in the cab. There is a lot I could do to seal the truck up better but I prefer to have to turn the heat down instead of wish it were warmer. A couple months ago I found some...

    Christmas Deuce!

    I thought about doing it but I wanna drive my deuce so I have refrained from the lighting of the truck.....I suppose I could push my sister's M-43 out by the highway and light it up. She's not using it anyway. That would be pretty funny.

    Tire Vibration

    That equal works really well. We use it on my Mom's Newell Coach. The coach has 22.5 rims with Michelins. It is good out past 90 mph........Not that I know personally:oops::grin:. That is just what I have heard.

    Dont run into an m35a2

    So the old lady made it, the Yota did not and the deuce is damaged. It could always be worse. I mean you could be having to fix a broken tail light or buff paint off the NDT's. Well I guess with that much damage it is time to bob the truck.:grin:

    front tire wear on the deuce

    I hope that does not happen to my 395's. I would be madder than a mountain lion if I had to replace those every 500-1000 miles. It is bad enough with the NDT 9.00's. I have been thinking about upgrading the shocks to some good off road shocks. I will post up when I find what fits. I have also...

    NC. Beach Driving for MV's

    Oh yeah. I forgot. You will get a feel for the sand. The harder packed sand was easy. The softer stuff took some throttle adjustments here or there to keep the Jeep from hopping. We found that if we stayed about 5-10 mph with low throttle inputs we were fine. If we wanted to accelerate quickly...

    NC. Beach Driving for MV's

    Cool Post. I love it. Living in a landlocked state I have always dreamt of driving on the beach. I took a trip to Houston with a friend of mine to pick up his LJ Jeep. This was in January of 08. We drove down to Galveston and drove out on the beach by the resorts. We got kicked out by the PoPo...

    Practical uses for a Deuce

    I love mine. My girlfriend does too. She really enjoys driving it. She even named it. "Major Payne". The big job for The Major so far was to haul our hunting camp 14 miles into the back country. I look forward to all it can do.

    What is this?

    I agree with the heated shop option is best. I have been contemplating a lower radiator hose mounted heater that plugs into the wall for mine.

    DOT 5 Brake Fluid

    I too have heard about the reaction between the two fluid types but have not seen it personally. I live in a dry area so water in the brake system is less of a problem for me through condensation. Not that it can't happen. Regular maintenace including bleeding the brakes is proly a good idea as...

    Winching under & to the rear

    IMO front and rear winch is the best thing to do for the need for a rearward extraction. I wheel a lot with my 4X4 club and just to go on "recon". I have been careful with the deuce and have not gotten it stuck....so far. It is inevitable. No one in the club can pull the deuce out. It will take...

    towing a deuce

    I am just glad no one got hurt. Safety is of the highest priority when towing anything. I don't think that is in question. Sometimes stuff just happens. Tires fail. Brakes fail. We drive over our capabilities and or over what the conditions allow. I'm not saying the guy was right or wrong. I was...

    High Priced Deuce!

    Jatonka's oil filter adaptor kit ordered with filters comes with the Napa antidrainback filters. I got his primary fuel filter adaptor kit and have not had time to instal it yet. I will post pics and a write up when I do. I am dropping hints about the secondary fuel filter kit and the oil kit...
