Just curious what you guys have done for off-road lights. I'm thinking a 52" LED bar for the front but not sure where to mount it. I'd like to keep it low but the top of the bumper isn't an option with the cab tilting.
I'd like to get some seats so my wife and 3 kids can ride in the truck with me. I think I can leave the driver's seat as-is, put some rails on the passenger seat so it can slide forward, remove the center seat, and put a bench across the back. I need to be able to put three booster seats on the...
Good call, I will try that.
I kept it at 50-52mph, or so, and it seemed happy. Man, it made that drive seem looong, though. My excuse for getting this is to run deliveries for my machine shop, and after I get some removable signage on it, it'll be a good marketing tool. Or so I tell myself :)...
Well I made it home! The truck is clean and seems to have been really taken care of. The only issue I noticed is when the engine fan kicked on around 200°, it wouldn't shut off. It stayed on for an hour even though the temp was down to 160. When I got close to home it seemed to start working...
I'm a little confused on the gladhands. According to the manual, there should already be "dummy couplings" on these. Are these what you mean by covers? Or are covers something different? Do the tires have regular schrader valves like passenger cars? I've never seen one of these truck up close so...
I'm driving about 120mi to get a 17k mile '94 LMTV tomorrow and then driving it home. It's supposedly in great condition with all new fluids and filters. What should I check before shoving off? I plan to have the manual on my laptop and a list of truck towing companies along the way. I just saw...
These are on a truck I'm looking at buying, but I'm not too familiar with the different wheel/tire options. I thought that to run singles on original wheels, the hubs had to be flipped, but that doesn't appear to be the case here. Is this a stock configuration? Ad state that they're 46" tall.
When the hot water cab heater is installed, how is air ducted to defrost the windshield? Is there ducting already in place or is it part of the kit? I was thinking a UTV heater like this could be installed for pretty cheap, I'm just not sure how it can be used as a defroster.
Thanks guys, I'll check into it some more. Oh, also, it's freshly painted what the owner described as "official radar absorbing paint that was $150/gal" but it looks like it was done with a brush. It looks good from 20ft but up close you can see streaks in the paint. Is this typical of a...
Hi guys,
Today I went to look at a '71 deuce that I'm looking to buy as a parts hauler/rolling billboard for my machine shop. I've been reading up a lot about the trucks but this was my first time ever in one. The owner took me for a ride and it seemed like the brake pedal was really soft...
