getting mighty chilly here. Expect snow for x-mas. Save me a hardtop, I may be coming your way pretty soon. I have a friend needing a 4bt cummins, I told I knew a guy. Ha!
Dave. try taking the front clip off, then go around it with two 2" heavy ratchet straps (over the top of the cab and underneath) then pick it up with the straps. How are you lifting it off? Gin Boom? Crane? I know you have some toys to play with.
did any of you understand his last post? Does anyone have a jibbity-jive to english dictionary I could use? I used spell check on his post and it just deleted all of it and displayed ----Go back to grammar school douche bag. Huh.....Funny
OK........let me say. First off, your not gonna get very far with a post like that. Second you had a legitimate question asked " was the winch fully engaged". Third...Doghead explained to YOU the proper way of using a PTO military winch. If the winch was engaged with the pto already engaged...
I can promise you, the seats that now reside in my truck are much stronger,secure and safer than the ones that were removed. Didn't modify the seat belts in any way. That is what would be a no go for the insurance company I would think. If you want to consult your insurance company for any mod...
:ditto: Love my bobber, but some things call for a fullsize deuce. Namely moving other heavy trucks around. Although the dropped weight and increased fuel mileage are nice. Power is noticibly better as well.
my military days of being lean and mean are over. Now I am all about being comfortable, fat is comfortable. You know now that I think of it I don't remember ever seeing a picture of Jenny Craig.........wonder why that is. Probably becasue she can't pull a fork out of her mouth long enough to...
found some on egay in either tan or Dark green. I am waiting until the truck is painted to order some. I may paint this truck tan with a arctic/temperate MERDC pattern. If I do that it will be ok with the tan I think.
Like everything else in this world it looks tighter in the pics than in person.rofl
When I get my 220lb butt in it, it is perfection. Got plenty of room, actually I could go a little higher. Dave your Ducttape is serving as my "all purpose center drink holding device" until the center...
Got these seats from a friend for free and my other idea for seats fell threw so I thought I would give them a try. Think I struck gold. Very comfortable, not to tall. Roomy for the bigger boys as well. Checked with my local salvage yard and was quoted a pair for 50.00 so they are cheap. I am...
the noisy cricket was almost eaten by a swamp.....:mrgreen:
Dave----" I don't need a **** winch, the truck only weights 3,000 lbs". First question I asked when told of this experiment was," when you got is stuck, did you just get out, pick it up and carry it out?"
where did you locate the automotive grade carpet? I have seen some in auto parts stores, but it is more like speaker box carpeting with no backing. I spent most of the day today installing a set of toyota Tundra bucket seats in my bobber. Very smooth installation. Springer and cutdown bench...
Dave I just made a set for my bobber project that I really LOVE. Nice and tight to the body, ZERO vibration and they were cheap to make. Heres the link.

I am also looking for an s250 shelter near Tennessee if anyone knows of something. I have a nice m101 that could be trade fodder . I am of a mind to build a small camper for the rally season this year.
These are the times when you need a stash yard! I keep a few over at other places and just swap them out every now and then. Kinda like a prisoner in a jail, the count always stays the same. Green metal is green metal to my wife as well.
Barrman forgot the parts when new found MV friend will tell you about another truck close to you that is for sale cheap and you can't sleep until you at least go look at it. No matter if you can afford it or not. Then comes the long discussions with the wife about the kids not really NEEDING...
