    Huntin' Camp 09

    I hear you cluckin' on that one. The hard work starts after you get an animal down. We have to pack our meat out to the road on foot with frame packs. Depending on where we are it could be 2-3 miles out over tough terrain and through timber blowdown up and down big inclines at 11,000 ft +. We...

    Custom Deuce on craigslist - $8000

    I forgot. I like the concept of the truck. I don't like the roll bar. It could actually be a roll bar if it was made out of the right material with sufficient wall thickness and tied back into the frame. I don't think the floor of the bed is tough enough to withstand a full roll. JMO. On my Jeep...

    Custom Deuce on craigslist - $8000

    You are correct that there is a fine line between adventure and stupidity. However I would like to add that if you wheel long enough stuff is gonna happen. Dumb stuff that you would never really anticipate would happen. Such as on my farm we had a trail that drove right along the creek. I forged...

    Huntin' Camp 09

    Life is what you make it. It's not always milk and honey. There are always more valleys than peaks is the problem. We did a lot more picture taking than shooting. The bad thing is one of my friends got up close and personal with a bear and her cubs for about an hour and a half. The bad part is...

    Huntin' Camp 09

    The thumbnails saved as PDF's. Just realized I did that. Now they don't want to enlarge on the site. I will try and rescan and save them as Jpeg. Crap.:oops:

    Huntin' Camp 09

    It is a Heaters, Space: Radiant Type, Portable (Type I, Model M1941, Solid Fuel) FSN 4520-257-4877. I also bought the Type II liquid fuel element for it so it will do both solid and liquid if we have to. It came in the crate with the manual, heater body, grates, tools and stove pipe with spark...

    Huntin' Camp 09

    I can take some pics of the R2HeatYou unit if you like but it is the 35,000 BTU pot belly stove.....I can't remember the military designation for it. I will have to get out the manual. Then it has the liquid burner element installed. The thing works kick a**. I can burn wood or coal with the...

    Headlights

    Hey CGarbee. Hit the nail on the head with your description. Everyone check out his Headlight part of his post. Much more thourough than my dissertation.

    Headlights

    Sorry guys. I did not get the part number for the replacement lenses in the picture. I will work on that. I break headlights is why I replace to these. They get whacked by tree branches and such. Not saying you can't but I have never broken the glass on these. They also put out a much better...

    Huntin' Camp 09

    You didn't miss much other than counting satelites at night and having long cold walks in the woods. They have been grazing sheep in the forrest where we hunt and they don't pull the sheep out until we are coming in to set up camp. The sheep drive the Elk and Deer out. The big game don't start...

    Headlights

    I get sick of busting up the stock headlights on my M-37's and now the deuce. This deuce already had bad headlights when I got it. I retrofit with some Hella replacement headlights that accept the H-4 hallogen bulbs and then I get the Hella 24 volt 70/75 W bulbs. I also get a headlight plug that...

    Deuce and a half trailers

    Right on! That was the technical specs I was looking for. Seems almost like it was aircraft related as it is made out of aluminium.

    Deuce and a half trailers

    New wrinkle into the mix. A/M32K-4 rough terrain trailer. What the heck was that used for by the military? Looks like it has 9.00 16 tires. There is a removable section of deck in the middle. Flat bed.

    Anybody mount a snow plow on their deuce?

    I have a Loftness 96" three stage snow blower that mounts on the three point of our John Deere 2950 tractor. 85 PTO rated horespower. It takes EVERYTHING that tractor has to run it. If the snow is heavy and wet then the chute plugs up cause it does not want to throw the snow fast enough up and...

    Parade Truck Upgrade....Semi Long

    Nice! I noticed a big difference singling out my deuce in the cornering department. I bet Ol' Daisy is as smooth as she can get. :-D

    Deuce and a half trailers

    I knew the M-105 was for the deuce but the M-102, and M-103 I have seen also say ton and a half trailer which is used by the deuce. Basically I just do not know what the differences in the trailers are that would denote having a different designation. If they are all the same trailers just with...

    Deuce and a half trailers

    O.K. I read the other posts about deuce and a half trailers and I am still cornfused. I know an M-101 trailer was originally produced for the M-37 and then modified/upgraded to use behind the modern 3/4 ton size vehicles and humvees. Also that there are gen set trailers that don't have the...

    Wheel Bearing Temps High, grease & Preload Q's

    Here's where i'm at in this deal. Torque is not subjective but feel is........However not all torque wrenches are created or calibrated equally. I have been a professional mechanic since I was 19. That was 20 years ago and I have been fixin' stuff on the farm and hot rodding since I was 10...
