desert rally.
Where (approximately) is the desert area rally goiing to be held?
Is there some kind of membership or club association required to attend?
And what month (the 13th) is the tentative date?
Am interested in attending...
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Ordered several plates.
I have ordered a winch data plate, a pto winch shift lever data plate for the cab, a authorized fuels plate, and a dash data plate for the air Warning buzzer with PTO winch operation and have been very pleased with the results.
Will be ordering more plates for the...
My sincerest thanks to gringeltaube, capt marion, et al for thier efforts at getting the proper formats and software to create better representations for dataplates.net so we at SS can have a good source for obtaining hard to get data plates.
gringeltaube has assisted me on MORE THAN ONE...
West Coast Problem as well.
I live in a rural area of Califonria (Bishop, California) We have been subjected to the same issues as N.J.
Several years ago an enormous amount of the entire high desert area of California was closed to any vehicular traffic for the same reasons.
It goes back...
No dailly driver.
Thankl you! I stand corrected.
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I remeber now that I also had to provide insurance proof for my civilian vehicles daily drivers.
Sorry for the bogus information. Should have dug out my policy and read it instead of relying on memory.
Gulfway Ins.
I do not have roadside as most insurers do not offer it to vehicles the size of the deuce.
The insurance I got covers a little over the California state liability requirements. It also covers my vehicles for comprehensive accident damage and loss based on the amount I assigned...
After many attempts with several insurers, most wanted the vehicle garaged, or would not insure it.
I found Gulfway Insurance Co. and they do not require special garaging or vehicle storage. They insured my M43B1 and M35A2C including comprehension coverage for damage or loss to both vehicles...
Where can I get double lip seals for the winch?
The seals I used were single lip.
If I have to replace the new single lip seals...where do I get double lip seals?
Also,
I replaced the seals to the same depth or level that the old ones were at and made sure I did not ding the seals. I...
Insulation maybe?
You will find friends on the SS site and there will be some replies that raise the hackles a little, but its all good.
The deuce gives off a lot of its heat through the firewall from the engine. I have read some threads on SS where insulation kits or homemade insulation...
Another tire and tube source
Summit Racing got into military tires and I got bought a set of brand new military tires and tubes at reasonable rates. I got brand new tubes and flaps for around $45-50.00 per wheel for 900 X16 for a M43. I know they have tubes and flaps for 900X20, 1100X20 and...
I am on it!
After all the work rebuilding the winch (I took a lot of pics.) and coming up leaking I felt like the perverbial fool! Oh well...
I LOVE your idea and am on the internet to find that stuff and try it out. Thanks again and again Doghead.

My thanks to KATAHDIN, M16TY, GRINGELTAUBE, DOGHEAD AND XTSIX for helping with suggestions to removre sliding clutch key for winch.
I chewed off 25% of one key and mangled the end of another (se e pictures)
The problem I have now is that after replacing all seals, and all bushings-bearings...
To far away...
I just changed both my front boots to non-zippered silicone material...(they last longer)
I would like to assist you but Bishop, California to Portland, Oregon is a stretch to far right now.
I hope you find a good soul to assist you.
Exterior plates
The plate I got was no different than the one I removed. I also saw that and just to be safe I clear coated the data plate after install. Clear coatings come in gloss and matte finish,
Tghis guy makes these plates for HVAC companys that have thier units mounted on the roof...
No Problem
The no holes and no rounded corners were my fault...
I told him I did not want the rounded corners or for him to make the holes. He would have done both at no additional charge had I asked him to.
Will make anything you want in the way of a data plate so long as you provide a sample of the dimensions, colors, lettering, and hole spacing if you want them to make the holes for you. (I told them I would make my own holes)
I tried "parts wanted" in the SS classified, MV Data plates on the...
