obviously im a bit limited in how i can pose this while remaining within guidelines but ill try. in the past i have come across many lot listings that required mutilation, most have been a mix of various scrap material with the occasional item of interest thrown into the mix or large items that...

The design it self I fully stand behind, with respect to your concern, it isn't finished as I stated before and it's based on similar receivers I have had on past vehicles. The ball mount is only 5" drop, the hitch frame supports the additional required drop. This is not intended as a class 4/5...

Alot... Rotated the tires, began work on a hitch and a light rack, fuel filters (last week), cleaned it out, and ordered alot of parts for next week.

I'm certainly not going to ignore the warnings and thank everyone for their concern. I have access to enough recourses that it would be irresponsible of me not to take the extra precaution, although I'm Confident in the welds so far, I'll smooth the runs down with. Grinding wheel to check for...

The ball mount I Had laying around has about 5 inches of drop. I had considered a 2" but given the materials at hand I went with what I had. tractor supply had a 2" weld on prefab tube for $22 and then I still would need to by the new ball mount with drop. As it is the top of the tube will sit...

I've heard both ways on that, but yeah I agree. Thats partially why I plan to reinforce it. And have a professional welder friend take a look at it. I wont be pulling anything crazy with it, just an 18' aluminum fishing boat around town. But as always safety first. I may have safety chain from...

Yep, nothing fancy. 3/8 is the maximum thickness it's rated for according to the charts it has on it so 1/4 is within it's abilities. It is a little slow going but it gets the job done and it's burning in nicely. Oh, a Lincoln Electric, think 3200 somthin or another ( can't remember off the top...

Stuck home tonight and was kinda bored so I went outside to play. All of the steel used was scraps I acquired from a few local shops. I found a 1 5/8 receiver from an old truck of ours in the garage. Total cost $0.00!! It's not done yet because I ran out of mig wire but I made good progress. I...

Very cool! Keep me posted

Well I got a good start the other night, I've amassed 7 6" kc knock offs but i miss measured when I made the front ring so I've gotta cut it down and see how many look good. I'll post pics later. Suggestions on paint color, flat black, 383 green, or tie the camo pattern in?

Hey josh, why is there a alphabet fridge magnet on your bumper? Lol

Josh: What size are those? Are they the 6"? Trying to get an idea how many I can mount while not looking redic. 6-7 look like it will work for me.

After a bit of research I think I may do two driving lights above the winch and two fog lights below with a metal brush guard around them. I would like to also add a few overhead lights and I was contemplating doing the basket above the cab. Instead I'm going to fabricate a "Baja" style mounting...

planning an auxiliary light setup on the deuce, a combination of fog, driving, long range, and flood lights. im looking for ideas so lets see what people have done so far. oh and i will be adding a 12 volt to support these

yes it seems to be rare. they seem to have been a product of convenience, basically dropped in an m35 when they had one to do it, whether it was because of lack of an LDT or just someone looking to improve the truck i have no clue. are you shopping GL or private? i have on occasion seen them on...

as i understood it they swapped it over to the right side when the LDS was transplanted into the deuce. could be very wrong of course. also the LDS turbo is a little different along with the elbow from the IM to the turbo, though i have no idea if the LDT turbo was utilized on any LDS engines...

are you talking about the condition code used by drmo? in that case its kinda a crapshoot, its much like the infamous "ran when parked". and FYI "4" means "usable- property which shows some wear but can be used without significant repair." "without significant repair" could be anything or...

honestly id like to stay close to 350 but i realize if its in good shape and fully equipt its going to be more. it depends on condition and whether it as the racks, bows, and tarp. im looking to use it for a bob job so as long as its solid im happy. on that note if someone had a 105 bed and...

interested but alot going on so i cant yet commit. anyone have a cheap 105 trailer or tires available that way? tax return is coming and i have to get the truck ready to sell. be easier if i could justify the trip.

been doing some PM on the truck since i finally got my fuel problems sorted. have had a soft petal for a little while, brakes worked fine just didn't engage till about touching the floor, it had been fine last fall and seemed to drop rather quickly (noticed it over a period of a two weeks of...
