    Recovery question, best way to get her home

    I flat towed my M1009 home 380 or so miles with the military tow bar and a Toyota Tundra. Towed very nice. Didnt have any keys and didnt know about them all being keyed the same so I just disconnected the steering shaft and driveshaft. Most of the trucks I have bought seem to get the D-rings...

    Deuce fuel adjustment

    I turbo charged my old VW jetta diesel and went from getting 43 mpg to 47mpg without any fuel adjustment to the injector pump. Not directly related to a duece but shows how turbos will increase the fuel milage.

    What is the minimum height of a M35A2?

    I had my last duece parked in my garage for a couple of months, I also live in a regular tract house with the usual 2 car garage. It fit but it was so tight, I had to push up on the garage door to clear the steering wheel as I pulled in and that was while trying to keep from being decapatated. I...

    What is this? and why does it leak air.....

    That looks like the same valve I have under the dash for the air o matic steering. I think its the regulator that shuts the air off to the steering if there is less than 60lbs?

    So Cal desert trip anyone??

    How about either the weekend of the 1st and 2nd or the 8th and 9th. I have to work on the wife to get another weekend pass for March Madness in Vegas on the 22nd and 23rd (pushing my luck). I have a little wood but could scrounge up some more. I've gone to Redrock once with a group of people...

    So Cal desert trip anyone??

    Dove Springs would be cool or Stodard valley, Lots of scenery in Dove springs, I think we could even head up to the mountains and get into snow. My vote is for Dove Springs.

    So Cal desert trip anyone??

    I used to go there alot as a kid. Its pretty close compared to Death Valley and borders the south side of Edwards AFB. Its has houses pretty close by so shooting might be an issue. Its where all the movies and car commercials are filmed with the dry lake bed footage.

    Graffiti Removal off of Canvas... Any Suggestions?

    I cant stand taggers, they are so hard to catch. Sorry to hear about your property being violated by some P.O.S. that will probably never amount to anything in life.

    need help please ?

    In my tinkering with both turbos on the same motor, I found the C turbo puts out a little less boost than the D turbo (1-2 lbs at the same fuel rate) but it sounds really cool. The turbo whine does get old on really long drives though. If you love the turbo sound then go with the C.

    On the motor I had apart, the sleeves just lifted right out as the pistons pushed up while rotating the crank.

    Road Trip

    Very cool pics! There was an extra towbar at the Fontana scrap yard last time we were there, the prices are right. I thought about getting it next time we go there, I could just pass the deal along to you. I am right off the 5 freeway by Six Flags Magic Mountain on your way down to San Diego...

    Nice score, I would much rather have a 101 than a 105.
