    Stomped on brakes and blew something. .

    Am just thankful the old guy didn't end up with me driving over his Rav4, few enough Vietnam vets left without me killing them. Add that to my suburban blowing oil everywhere, and totaling my Lincoln on Sunday, been a great week. Unfortunately I think half this guy's issue is that he is beyond...

    Stomped on brakes and blew something. .

    Hose blew out for sure. Going to redo the wheel boot etc as it's leaking grease. Touch on brakes and it shoots it all over, even back to fuel tank.

    Rac-15 mre/water heater power cord

    Best thing i ever got for the truck. I have one running right now in back of truck. When parked and on 110 there is a 24 Volt battery tender feeding the batteries, so this thing is on all day making sure i have a hot cuppa all day long. If you can reuse another connector with cable attached...

    Rac-15 mre/water heater power cord

    Very nice. I cant remember where i got my connector for mine, but it was like $70. I use mine all the time, even when we are stopped and on 110v i run it for a constant hot water supply (I have a 24v charger that runs from my 110 to keep that going).

    Those Military Guys HID Headlights

    I went with the Halogen upgrade and they work well, now that i wired them in correctly. Their labeling on the wires was incorrect, with the ground and high beam labels switched. Once I worked it out, they are nice. I did the backup lights today, wires are JUST long enough to meet in middle...

    Deuce Driving Experience Compared to Civvy?

    Mine was the 225 mile drive home, with a blown alternator half way, in the rain, with dying lights and no heater. But when it comes down to it, i love driving it now. Its so easy to track down the road. Sure low speed is a bear, but on the road.... easier then many vehicles i have driven.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Working through the many steps and activities involved in adding west coast mirrors. Nothing has gone right with this but one is done, now on to other side. May well reduce their spread though, they make truck awful wide. Am considering taking brackets of and moving them inward a bit.
