LOL Emeralcove....my 97 A3 steering wheel looks like it's from a 47. I guess epoxy and paint and a lot of patience... they can be made whole. Edit...Hi Tom....how many times do you find yourself with a torch in one hand and a stinger in the other? I used to have a 20,000 shop and when it...

I'll resurrect this thread to point out a couple of things that my 4x4 project has revealed to me. I used M105 springs and frame mounts, cleaning every leaf, buffing sharp ends off the end of each leaf and adding an overload air bag. The springs of an M105 and the front springs of a deuce...

at night in MI that would blend in fine.

It always feels good to get a job done. My completions are always overshadowed by the 3 projects that replace it. Is that your welder truck? It's nicely organized. I'm using an M1101 as my welder/torch vehicle. It gets a roof. I'm working on the 4x4 A3 and trying to decide what tools...

How many "off road" vehicles do you have Frank? It's too bad that the HMMWV controversy is spreading to the deuce and 5 tons. I think we all face the same problem now....a manufactures association writing the laws to their benefit, not ours or perhaps even considering our views. Now back to...

"Valspar Automotive paint mix system" That sounds like the difference. I don't know the system but my hardware mixed Valspar flat house paint (acrylic latex) to the FS number (dark sandstone not green 383).

Great find....it looks like the predecessor to a 105. My experience is to use more primer than one coat under Acrylic Latex, premium or not. I've got rust coming right back through the water based paint over time, especially when I only put one coat of rust inhibitor red oxide. I have...

I offered to help set up and operate one out of Grissom ARB in N. Indiana. It's available by air and is on an intersection of major roads....and has LOTS of place to have warehouse...having empty speculator buildings. It's perfect since most area does not require security. They blew me off.

If you have all of the debris out, then try it....you have very low risk of a failure that would threaten your or someone else's life.... since you have working brakes. Buy one and rebuild it on longer time frame (unless the one in it fails). I think the key is getting out all of the debris...

With only about 2' of chain under the truck boom, it's surprising how far it can go forward when motivated on a slight hill. Did it poke through or dent it up? Did you hit the brakes a bit too hard?

I didn't say he had to pay the fee to place the wanted ad, just that paying a membership supports the site (well maybe I implied it a bit). Totally free makes us look cheap...which many of us are and have accepted that fate. Oh well....

Isn't the 5 bolt with big lug nuts like the M37 too? Is that wheel capable of dual-ing up or is it just a big offset? Chris, I see m116 with hummer 8 and the 5 lug like the m37 but no 6 lug like a deuce. We'll see when he puts the sides up.

There has been too many moons for me to say for sure. I believe they did but I have one set on a trailer that is not staying up long term. That is a 3/16" dia x 14.00 inside and buna N, 70 duro...sounds right but I don't have any apart to measure. I do more 20".

What are you using it for? Campers are popular.

That is modern day camo.... to disappear at a fire scene. Are they fiberglass? Can you hand scrape the old, sand and have solid materials to primer and paint?

Which rear driveshaft are you referring to, the one from the transfer case to the first axle or the one between the two axles? They are different size I think. What is the "plug" you are referring to? You should probably put this in a "parts wanted" ad. If you have not paid the members...

Door and frame had a plastic vulcanized to it and I thought the whole unit needed replaced. After seeing the new cost, I did repair. Now adding a full view storm door and side window. Edit....and steel hand rails.

Cracks in tires from setting on flats (CTIS) or egg shaped (GY AT-2 bad about that). Does it run? Are brakes working? Does it build air to 115 or so. Is the bed (check springs too) badly dented from hauling heavy loads (physical appearance). Does the tranny shift right? Has the TC went in...
