last night was interesting, my horn died but my either assist started working, i doubt there is a connection of course.
the horn i will check on a warm day but i imagine maybe frozen condensation in the solenoid.
the either is interesting, i have had rough starts below ~35 degrees, usually it...
i seem to go through shear pins like water, im obviously overestimating the abilities of my winch and im just getting frustrated.
first pin was absolutely my fault, i pulled a 40 foot pine down and then tried to pull it out of the ground once on its side. rather than lining up on the side to...
need a few things and wondered if anyone near to me could help me out.
on my shopping list:
2-4 9.00-20 tires 50% or better (shipping is killer so these are the main thing)
if they are mounted im willing to trade my bald/flat ones so you don't give up the wheel.
wiper blades...
the paint on my deuce is faded and chipped, id like it to look nice (not perfect). i have to paint a cj5 as well so im gonna order up some rapco.
how much paint do i need to cover the deuce? assume one solid color, one good coat. not doing a frame up resto so body panels and interior as well...
about a week ago i was on my way home from work and the back end of the truck started hoping around on me, every time i let off the gas and slowed down a bit it went away, i would accelerate and hold speed and after a min or two it would come back. i chalked it up to road surface as Ive had that...
finally got the winch back on my truck and with only minor complications. while i had the tools out i went about checking things over and here is where im at:
the input seal on the winch is leaking kinda bad all of a sudden, wasn't before and i didn't open that side at all. strange but it was...
had the issue of not being able to engage the dog clutch so a friend and i pulled it off a few nights ago. removal was strait forward, i pulled the yoke on the drive shaft, removed all the cable, pulled the bolts out and lifted it out. was heavy but manageable. the fit was snug so we rolled the...
after many complications yesterday was finally the day i got to drive it home. the trip was 200 miles and took just under 7 hours with a few stops. uneventful for the most part, the first hour was quite a learning experience but i took my time and enjoyed the trip. have to bleed the brakes again...
i need to get a hold of a new or rebuilt m35 air-pack (old style) and im in a bit of a hurry. could anyone point me in a good direction?
back story, bought a truck, had no brakes, towed off base and stored at a fellow members place (almost 5 hrs away from me), went home ordered parts and...
with so many people looking to pick one up i decided to make public what the "real" cost of one of these trucks is, or at least the cost to get it up and running and on the road. i guess what inspired this is the fact that we look at these as a bargain (they are) but not many know what they are...
here it goes,
purchased the Deuce waited for the EUC and then ran into a brick wall as to how to get it home. not cost effective to ship and risky driving w/o registration. the SF-97 is weeks away and so i did a little hunting... here is what i got
my truck is a 71, so pre tittle and falls...
i know we cant speak of future auctions but i think this is ok so i will be general about the topic.
there has been alot of talk about preview vs. sight unseen bidding on GL. id like to make known that there is a particular site that is using the same pics for engine shots. nearly every item...
i decided i want something a little different for my truck, i want somthing to keep the weather out of the bed but im not moving large things and def not troops so i decided on a tonneau cover. im gonna use the ripped up cargo cover and make short uprights that will hold the bow corners. the...
saw a few trailers behind a local truck shop so i stopped buy today and check them out. he has four m103a3 trailers, the bodies where removed but the brake and lighting seems to be complete but the wires are cut on at least two of them. he is asking $400 each but he is willing to part them out...
my truck is a 1971 general products m32a2. my question is whether i can put "jeep" in for manufacturer on the sf-97 to save myself hassles with dmv? i plan on listing it as a "pickup" under type and everything else is self explanatory. well except the vin. do i use the whole SN # or the short vin?
had it towed out of Mechanicsburg about 90 miles west to a Karl's place, again thank you for letting me bring it your way. first id just like to say if anyone is looking to have something towed out around this site give a call to Jerry's Towing. Jerry was very patient with the hold ups at GL and...
two issues:
no break pressure, no resistance when the i push the brake. the master cylinder was dry when i recovered it. added some DOT5 and still nothing. interestingly the master doesnt seem to be losing fluid when i pump the brake but maybe leaking around the front seal where the peddle...
going Wed do pick it up from Mechanicsburg, unless i can find someone here that can help me it looks like its getting towed 90 miles west to State college, check out my thread in transportation if you can help in that department.
as of now it has no brakes, i have yet to get a look at it so...
the short of it im a little tight on cash at the moment, moving ect. just got my paid in full from Mechanicsburg. i need to set up an appointment and get this thing off the lot. it might jump but we all know how that goes. ill be contacting tom to find out if they can try. im going down with new...
