I used the M105 springs since I bought the trailer for the bed anyway. Deuce front springs and hardware are pretty spendy if you have to ship them. I am not real keen on the lift blocks, but it gets the job done and is safe enough for what I am doing. I singled and flipped my hubs. I can't...

I really like this idea, but have a bit of a siping/grooving-idiot question: the pattern you created is asymmetrical, does that make the tires directional? I.e. would you not be able to rotate them side-to-side (passenger to driver) on the truck for even wear? That would change the direction...

Nicely done! Glad it worked out for you and you acheived a good bleed on your system.

I did this same conversion not long ago, but Oreilly's was out of the 31-13, so I used the upgraded model (can't remember the number, supposedly the exact same as the 31-13 but made of better materials.) Those blades cost more, and came in a silver box. They also DIDN'T WORK. The 31-13's come...

Make a pressure bleeder. It doesn't destroy the cap, everything screws together and can be put back to original when you are finished. I bled my brakes in about 20-30mins with the pressure bleeder and got rock-hard brakes. That's a bobbed deuce, but still, that's a heck of a lot faster and...

Billy, I have that same aubern pyro, where did you get your mounting bracket? I was going to fab one, but really like your dimpled bracket - is that one you made or bought? Cheers....

Good call - this is on my to-do list as well. It doesn't fully engage until the handle is pulled all the way to the top, I never feel like I get it all the way set. Did you adjust at the handle or at the drum?

My Sherman had a good week this week: re-bled the brakes and topped off the fluid my first oil change! $125 bucks later :-(. The oil was in great shape though, no sludge and no shavings or metal pieces. The WMO was good enough I felt ok pouring it into the fuel tank. fixed a stripped-out bolt...

Quad: I used the shocks from the M105 trailer I used for the conversion (edited my original post.) Bobbed: I did mount one forward facing and one rearward facing. Good catch on the upside-down/water issue. I've never heard of a rock shield rusting from the inside that way, but I've never...

I used the leftover springs & shocks from the M105 used in the bob. I probably could have gotten a better angle with shorter shocks, but hey, these were free. The job was simple and straightforward and seems to have worked (the ride is more comfortable than pre-bob, not sure how much of that...

I wouldn't want to be the poor chump driving one of those in a cross-wind.......

I like the idea of painting the back of the gauge panel. I installed brighter bulbs, and drilled small holes in the red plastic casing behind the covers, all the way around the circumfrence, one every 1/16" or so. That REALLY brightened things up.

Also, something to consider - in CA the difference between bobbed and not, is class C vs class B license ;-). I drove mine (singled) ~750 miles for a ecovery and then bobbed it. I noticed immediately that bobbed is less slugggish/gets up to speed more quickly, gets slightly better mileage...

I really like what I see in your setup; I like the graduated filtering and I really love the simplicity. Do you have part numbers for the bases? I am always struggling to pair bases with filters. I have a half-designed system in my head, but waiting to finish it until I have a steady supply...

Any luck coming up with a diagram for this?

Tks Clinto. If gimpy's doesn't work out, I'll send you a PM.

Cheers gimp. I will PM you on thursday. In the meantime, safe travels.

I am trying to find an unuseable/non-serviceable airpack I can steal hard parts from for mine (which has a busted rear cover.) The usual suspects just raise an eyebrow when I ask about it. I have sent pm's to folks who have listed trucks they are parting out, but no dice yet. Any ideas where...

It is the old style (long.) PM me with price with shipping, it would be awesome if you have a useable end piece I could use. Tks RL.

The brass bushing which attaches the j-pipe to the rear plate on the airpack (covering the piston) sheared off. Liberal application of heat, PB blaster, and force did not get the remains removed from the cover. I drilled it out, but have not been able to get it clean of the threads. Currently...
