:grd: You can also hotwire your starter solenoid to crank it from the outside, passenger side.

Unconstitutional Law That law sounds like it violates the State Constitution. A municipality may restrict certain vehicles based on width, weight, etc. But they cannot reclassify commercial vs non-commercial. A good lawyer & a class-action-lawsuit would be in order. The city is acting...

Nevada requires a special endorsement when towing. That includes RV fifth-wheels & travel trailers. They passed it just a year or two ago. Basically it's a non-commercial version of a CDL. You have to take a special written & driving tests. RV Driver's License Requirements I plan to make a...

I think some of the 5 Tons fit. They should be about a foot longer. Call up an MV supplier/salvage and they should be able to tell you. Otherwise, order a custom cable on the internet.

That's a POS-WTF. :driver:

It sounds like a fun project. Make sure to post your build with lots of photos. One correction to your info: If you're over 26,000 lbs (which you will be with a 900 series 5 Ton & 20,000 lbs of gear) you will have to get a CDL. You'll also have to store it in an RV storage/business facility...

You guys are making the apocalypse too difficult. Forget about the Deuce. Just go back to steam-powered cars. Burn wood, coal, garbage, whale blubber, zombie limbs, whatever. Sure it's smaller and slower. But unless the sun goes out it'll always have fuel. Wood vapors work as well when...

If you want to keep it street legal, I'd say go with the HELLA Vision Plus H4 2 piece sealed headlights. They are SAE and DOT legal. Avoid the E-certified lights. They are actually better but are not legal in the U.S. (E is for Europe). One piece is the reflector. The other piece is the H4...

Okay I'm not understanding. You don't want to get Trucklite 24V military LED headlights because they are too expensive. But 12V LED headlights are just as expensive (and also only distributed by Trucklite). Therefore, I can only assume you are looking for halogen 12v headlights which are very...

HID kits are 100% illegal. Zener diodes would be a better way to drop the voltage. 55 watts is pretty hot for a resistor to dissipate when it is wrapped up in electrical tape. How to Make a 12-Volt Voltage Regulator | eHow.com Why not just use 24 volt headlights? They might cost more up...

What do you mean by floating anchor? Something like this: Or do you mean running the line through multiple snatch blocks located along the bumpers of both vehicles? If it's the latter, the total force pulling (on both vehicles towards the center of the system) is going the be the tension...

Thanks. Any suggestions on what frame would be good for an M36 bed (17 ft) to make a big-dumb-trailer? I was hoping to find a frame ready to go instead of welding up my own...

flat bed removable? To all the M1061 owners, Is the flat bed removable. That is, can it be stripped to the frame or is is welded as one unit? Thanks.

My apologies for doubting you. Here, maybe this will cheer you up. Misery loves company. Power steering & ARB lockers, at least in the front, should be the first upgrades to a Deuce.

Ahah, you did lift it out. So why are you still stuck?

At $3 a gallon & 8 mpg I'll pass. Besides, I have a 5000 lb Cummins/Allison/frame combo sitting in the back of the truck (yes, it's still in the back of the truck for those who remember my garbage truck salvage thread). I could borrow my wife's blazer but I'm 100% positive it would make it...

I'm calling foul on this thread. I think he's a troll. No photos of the supposed wrecker. No photos of his buddy wrecking the SINGLE high lift jack. Besides, I saw those photos of the 5 ton stuck LAST YEAR. Don't feed the troll anymore.

If TSHTF, Where exactly are you going? Why do you need a Deuce to get there? The mountains? I don't think so. Every redneck with a 30-06 will already be there. There won't be a mule deer or even a jackrabbit for a thousand miles. Hypothermia, snowed-in in the winter, inadequate food...
