An engine hoist sounds nice, but I did it myself with a square steel pipe running through the windshield and on the back wall of the cab, some chain, and a HF come-along. It was a PITA and i'd never done a tranny in anything before this, and here the TM's were my best friends. I think I used a...
I look at that plate as an upside-down arch style of bridge. It's not simply at the corners that the plate supports, but the entire length of the door frame. Consider that the cab is mounted on springs in the rear to allow for some movement of the cab as a whole, same as the bed. Without this...
That's what he looks like. My daughter was given one for free from her elementary school on the last day. Speedy lived for four years after that, and must've eaten $300 worth of crickets! So much for the free lizard.....
I gotta' agree on the structural integrity being compromised if those are removed. I hate the things too, but because I have bad knees. I've decided to replace the fuel can with an ammo box for a step. I'll then use some all-thread and a bit of angle or square tubing for a low dollar step under...
Hey, I thought I was the only one who had this happening to me all the time! (Never keep it around in cash, that helps too!) If you buy, bring a laptop if you have one, and download all the TM's on it, and also to be able to contact the smart ones here on Steel Soldiers. Maybe get a phone number...
Is there a safe top speed for 4th gear on a highway? I'd go with no, given the disparity between highway speeds and probably about 40MPH. Why not consider changing the tranny out in Kentucky as part of the deal? I'm really poor on mechanical skills and I managed to do it alone on my last deuce...
I don't see much mentioned about the tires I have, but they seem to work well without going into the big bucks of new rims. They're Michelin X 11.00-R20's, and they look a lot beefier than the non-directionals. Don't know the cost as they came with my truck. Here are some pics, (and yes, I know...
Ol Ag, Badga is my 16 y.o. son, and a pretty wise kid at that. And I happen to agree with EVERYTHING you wrote above. I'm more than willing to put everything behind me in order to have this rally come off, and I'm willing to help, as is Badga. A friend of mine runs with some Jeep guys who we...
I think it's a matter of too many people remembering the issues of the last NON-event!!! OL AG, I think it's great that you have stepped up with your resources and ingenuity to try to make this happen for everyone else. This last non-event was, for all intents and purposes, a Steel Soldiers...
1. Deuce and a half, or DEUCE, is a nickname, not an official moniker. What does it matter what other people call their trucks?
2. It is, in fact, a Bobbed Deuce, as a deuce has been shortened, or "bobbed", therefore it is a bobbed deuce just as a bobbed Harley is a bobbed Harley. Or does it...
If it doesn't grab you by the collar and yell "Make me!" then it probably never will........ But, have you driven one yet? Me and Badga found a good sized mud puddle on a vacant lot the other day, the kind with a nice clay-kinda' mud in it? In two minutes it had me a-whoopin' an' a-hollerin'...
