The spin on filters are definitely on my list. I gotta chill out a little with the OD expenditures for a few weeks or my wife is gonna "MommaSmack" me:)
She actually threatened to paint the deuce Hello Kitty Camo when I brought it home.
So I was thinking.....alot of standard industrial controls that I work with are 24vdc. Getting underneath my truck everytime I shut it down to drain the air and water out of the tanks can be kind of a pain. I was thinking of wiring in a 24v toggle switch in to two MAC valves with the 24v coils...
Someone asked for a pic of the remote brake reservoir behind the driver's seat, and the fittings so here goes:
Again sorry about the pic quality. There is an isolation valve and a quick disconnect fitting right below it.
Well....took it out for a few hours on country roads to day and got used to it. Then took it in town and got some fuel. No problems in traffic. I am going to have to get used to the amount of attention that goes with it I guess. This thing actually sits higher with these tires than a...
On a side note I have never been to Haspin. I plan on this year being my first. From watching some of the Youtube videos though....with some of those tight turns...driving that thing through would be like trying to thread a needle with a freight train lol. Not saying one of you guys couldn't do...

I will hopefully get a chance to do that this weekend before I drive it again. Speaking of driving...that's definitely gonna take some getting used to. I seem to sit about 6 feet above the road with those tires lol.
Finally got my deuce. Turned out to be a '69 wo/w on 15.5/85r20s (I think). Pics to come later this week as the weather has been crappy and I work nights :P Also came with 2 spares for the big tires unmounted, and all the original wheels and 9.0 NDTs. I can absolutely not believe how smooth this...
