Finally got around to helping my buddy swap engines on a duece I sold him and he is now selling. This was my parts donor for the winch on my truck and had a spun #3 cylinder rod bearing that I did not feel like messing with. I rented a trailer to tow my other buddies forklift that he let us use...
SO I rented a trailer to tow my buddies forklift, filled up the propane tank for it and the darn thing would not start. I wasted 1 1/2 hours messing with it. He failed to tell me its REALLY hard to start when I asked if it ran good. I never made it up to help my buddy swap motors since the wife...
I finally got to use mine for the first time today. Rented a trailer to tow a forklift up to my buddies tomorrow so we can swap out a duce motor. I will get pics of tomorrows adventure. No.2Diesel, I like your set up.
My first duece had the old style exhaust that exited between the passenger side duals. It was very quiet even though it did not have a muffler. I have heard that wa the exhaust for the LDT-427 motor but mine had been update to the 465, it was funny in traffic the exhaust was pointed right into...

Thats funny because I too just bought a jeep today. The camera is in my wifes purse next to my wevos so I cant post any pics yet. Looks like you got about as much a project as me although I drove mine home. Used to be a dumpster collector for some company in...
Ive used mine a couple of times now without an additional tank or the proper size hose. It does the job but would definately benifit from the additional tank set up, thats next on my project list. That impact coupled with the air assist bottle jack makes changing the tires a breeze! I keep them...
Make sure your insurance and registration is current as well as your D.L. or they wont let you on. They are sticklers like Port Hueneme and Vandenberg and for good reason. Sounds like an adventure, I'd invite myself along but have to work Thursday.
RE: Re: RE: od road trip in socal
