    Lockheed T33 well some of it

    "not demilled"....? So, it still has a live ejection seat.... ? We had to blow a few of those in Iraq (before they were used against us).

    Brake lights are staying on

    If the Air Switch is bad, the brake lights stay on... so you would not have turn signals either (correct?)

    Has anyone removed the turbo from a deuce just to safely "blow smoke"?

    Name this Trailer ?

    Looks like a standard Uhaul rental to me... I tried to rent one to move a small tractor and it wouldn't clear the open floor runners. I suspect it was modified by someone to support their MV hobby.

    Deuce Tailgate Crane

    Seems like i see bed cranes every day lately.... I'm still debating which side would be better, on drivers side seems like it wouldnt make a blind spot on the road, or worse while backing. I do have big mirrors, so i'm weighing the options.

    Mating transmission to engine - rant

    I think i invented a few new cuss words while installing mine, but mine was hanging on a 4x4 with a 2 ton chain fall and a couple of short straps. As i sat in the cab floor with the passenger seat out, after 3 or 4 dozen trips crawling under and then back inside the cab... FINALLY, and how i...

    Runaway multifuel 6/20/14

    Mine was my fault for not using safety wire on the bridge over the fuel rod. It vibrated itself loose and the pin on the tip of the rod was not making contact to the shut off plate, so it just idled erratically till' i stalled it out and fixed it.

    Runaway multifuel 6/20/14

    I had to stall mine out in 5th, but it didnt go "wide open"... but it wouldnt shut off with the cable stop.

    MRAP adapter bolt size?

    Remember, grade 8 may be "stronger", but it's also more "brittle" and would snap, where a grade 5 would "stretch"... or did i just hear that somewhere...?

    MRAP adapter bolt size?

    I used a 3' breaker bar (braced on the ground) on one side, and a torque multiplier on the other to install my adapters, works really well.

    MRAP adapter bolt size?

    When I got mine, he (Peashooter) sent me a list of the required hardware, how much torque to put them on, and even a place he has located that will assemble a bulk package "special Peashooter package" of the hardware. (NY Fastener or something like). They are MUCH cheaper than my local fastener...

    Uses for Deuces

    It was almost humorous, seeing the slick plywood and what they had "tried" to use to free it. They had quite a hole worn out, and there were 2 other trucks there, but didnt look like they had any straps or chain... I had it 90% free with the deuce in neutral and gravity doing the work, then a...

    Uses for Deuces

    I did my first "High Water Rescue" today... (no pics). One of our neighbors got stuck in her front yard in a 2wd dodge (on wet grass).... Still Counts. :p

    Ugly Birdsnest on Winch

    How much cable would you loose if you use a grinder and cut the cable at the pinch point?

    Engine chatter

    I had a rattle on a generator from a heat shield, it was much easier to fix than pulling the valve covers.... Also a pinhole exhaust leak at various RPM can be an annoying or deceptive sound. I've seen a tiny rock that was stuck in a fender support that made a horrible noise... it could be a...

    Looking for a 2nd spare tire location...

    Has anyone mounted a super single spare up under the rear? The rears are further apart and the spare could be moved forward. (not a hijack just asking)

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I used the deuce to build a 12x16 pavilion in our back yard. Sure is nice to be able to work from a 8x13 scaffold (tailgate down). Being able to step up on the bed rails put me up almost 6', so it's really nice to have a very stable work platform to get things done, without being up and down on...
