I would like to join in on the rally by camping out if there is a place for me. I have a bobbed M35a2. What provisions should I bring besides common needs(food, water, shelter, ability to S<S<S) ? I would like to help in any way needed! I would also like 2 shirts( 1 XL and 1 Sm) Please let me...
I recently recovered a M105 from Juan Prado in N.O., all went well and the truck ran like a top! The next day I saw fuel under the deuce. The next day(2 days later) I saw a large pool of fuel! Yesterday I pulled the tank( pretty easy) and found " Major Holes" hiding under there!
I pulled out...
It finally stopped raining, but I found a pool of fuel under the deuce in the morning after a trip to Juan Prado's to recover a M105. Pulled the tank to find 4 rotted spots where the tank sits on hangers! Ground away all the rust, "Major Holes" was hiding there. Pulled out the mig-welder and cut...
No, it is under both nuts of the same bolt! It has a cutaway for the shock mount to pass, and it is angled up pass the bolt plate about 22.5 degrees to keep the strut as parallel to the tie rod as possible. The tie rod end is off set to give the chunk clearance when turning and keep the strut...
The wandering is settled some but a pot hole can still make it jump! With wheels this big and no power assist, there's no way to stop it completely. The return to center hasn't been a problem for me, it takes a bit of road for it to do it on it's own, but is more manageable. The faster you go on...
I had another stabilizer with a set-able return spring, but figured it is already hard enough to turn side to side and didn't want to fight it! I have power steering, Dual Piston Armstrong !O! I'll try to draw up template and post soon! It really does make a difference! I think it would really...
I added this to help with bump steering. I made the brackets out of 2.5'' angle iron, and a stabilizer with an 8'' total movement. It came off of my old CJ7. I found I need 4'' each way on my tie rod. It works great! At 55-60 mph on the roads of Louisiana ( Holy), the ride is greatly improved...
I'm looking for help in the insurance dept. I recently was looking forward to making a purchase of a Deuce from another SS, but got shot down by my insurance company! I tried to plead my case but was told it was there right to refuse to insure a vehicle. I got the same flack from them years ago...
