So you painted the MV , stennciled it and its looking way nice, something to be proud of. Well that calls for an occasional wash or rinse. If you have a Deuce it usually also entails sweeping out then hoseing out the bits of leaves and dirt and cigarette butts out of the bed, so you do, and...
From www.desertrat.com comes this Billet looking gyro cupholder, nice looking, and would look nice in an MV. and seeing them upwards of a hundered bucks here and there, @ $30.00 this ain't too bad a price.

With a non functioning in-tank fuel pump, will the manifold heater still function as designed ? What I'm getting at is, without a presurized line from the in-tank fuel pump in operation will the manifold heater be fed fuel past the first try ? My thinking is that the first try will consume any...
A longtime tool of the Navy for removing rust and blistering paint. Anybody have any experiance with removing rust and chiping paint on a Deuce or? Some years ago I used one while welding to remove slag, and WOW did it work perfectly for that. I'm seeing them at Northern tool and Harbor Freight...
I have a couple questions about the turbo on the Deuce. #1. Is there an oil or additive that would be beneficial to de-coke the bearings and internals of the turbo? like say.....Lucas or Mystery or some injector cleaner or what-not? I always time my shutdowns, typically with the last bit of...
Well it seems the tree people and audoban and all the wack jobs would just as soon see that no-one gets to drive their vehicles of any kind on our PUBLIC beaches or coastal areas. Well having a Deuce, I would like to take a trip and drive the beach sands here in North Carolina. Just an easy, top...
Rats......the button isn't doing anything...... Well heres what I did to find the cause. Got in this morning and the button did nothing, but wait, it sort of did the same thing yesterday, push the button and nothing, push it a fiew more times and .....finally it turned it over and started...
Well theres been a fiew guys questioning the liscensing of the Deuce here in North Carolina. I got mine done last week. I took in my title which was from South Carolina and liscensed it as 'weighted' and bought tags for 20,000 lbs. that cost me $311.00, also the paperwork and notery, I left...
WellI had to change the rubber C V joint zipper type boots. At least a 2-3 hour job I'd say, per side. What a bear to install the new ones, especially the small clamp side or inner clamp.....! Well as I had the covers off of the kingpin, two top and two bottom, I could go no further. One thing I...
Ok Guys, I have an axle leak. Actually its the outer gasket where the axel itself fits into the HUB housing right there at the tire/wheel, which is secured w/bolts, in other words, un-do the bolts and remove and the whole axle will slide out horozontally ie. pull straight out. My question is...
Surely some advice can be given as to who is re-producing the best fitting Cargo canvas for the Deuce. As far as fit and the least amount of baggyness. Id prefer it somewhat taunt or form fitting rather than alot that I'v seen that seem to be all bagging and loose fitting. Are there any things...
Ok, only partially true So you guys riding on big meats like 14's 15's and the like....Where are you getting them? I supose the regular places such as Boyce Equiptment and the like..... but when you decide to go these routes, are their sources for these tires NEW from some Truck or Tractor Co...
I was thinking back to when I first came back from Vietnam and remembering being stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. Returning Vets were always wondering what they were coming back to and especially what Duty Station they would get. Well of all the duty stations available in those...
Were there ever soft doors used on the Deuce, you know, like the soft doors used on Jeeps and such with soft-tops. I'v seen the doors completly off on ocasion, but cant quite recall ever having seen a Deuce with soft doors?
Once you had your Deuce, you decided to Bob it, you had the tools, the works... everything you'd need ie. jacks, saws, drills, wrenches, welder, etc. etc. Ok now all you have to do is cut'er up and put'er back togather minus some spare parts. What do you think your cost was to finish your...
It has been brought up often times, the difficulty of inflating 20" tires on Custom Wheels used as of late for the 'BEEFED' offroad bogger look ie. those 14.00's and 16.00's and what have you. First, be absolutely SURE that you understand the method you will use, no guesswork please. We have...
With so many new members recently new to Duce & !/2's, It would be good to list the most expediant spare parts to have while traveling longer distances, that could be readily installed in emergency breakdown situations.. For myself, I would carry wrenches, brake fluid, A fuel pump, a head light...
I see that the Duce clutch has 4 pucks, is there a complete circular disk that the Duce uses? It would seem that a clutch disc such as the type typically seen in most domestic aplications ie. continous disc material, rather than the 4 seperate pucks would be a much longer lasting and stronger...
Were talking about the creeper like tool that jacks up the tire/wheel so you can then pull tire/wheel/hub off of the Duce (and others) What have members found to be a suitable method of a homade type lift? The whole question arises from an alignment issue which by the way in the TM's For...
For the purpose of estimating fuel costs while on standby, that is idleing onsite somewhere in rescue mode what is the estimated fuel consumption per hour with a Duce powered by the turbo multifuel using pump diesel ? I am often times unable to avoid reciving monies for rescue work, and I...
