    2013 Annual TX MV Rally

    I didn't get to hang out with the guys Saturday night even though I did camp. Leaving the house at 4:00 in the morning I fell right to sleep. But did get to drink coffee and talk Sunday morning. Great bunch of guys. Will need to leave Friday morn next year.

    Couple questions. Did you just use a putty knife to scrape off the old insulation on the cab top, and what type of glue did you use to mount the gi sleeping mats? Thanks in advance.

    Need Tm for pinion seal replacement

    My deuce is leaking fluid from where the rear driveshaft goes into the rear axle. I have removed the vents, soaked them in brake cleaner and blew them out. Took it out for a drive and I believe it's still leaking. Not a lot but have the Texas SS rally next month and I'm sure if Murphy has...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    Xtra tall m105a2 I finished welding up new longer uprights to the corner bows so I could mount my NOS "tall" cover. Going to put in some more horizontal slats above the front racks so the wind doesn't beat the front of the cover to death. Next is a coat of paint on the trailer.

    Lightweight weapons ring and legs fit an M-35A2?

    I tried to mount one on my deuce and nothing would mount up. If some how you did fab something to make it fit I don't think it would look right.

    Ditto. Rust in the quarter panels, door sill, and the bottom of the window pillars.

    Newb question

    The black and white one would be good. Looks like a 5 ton with maybe a multifuel motor. That way you would have the luxury of mixing fuels. The other one is an older deuce with a gas motor. I like the 5 ton.

    Xtra tall M105a2

    Oh now I see what you mean. The void in the middle. I think I will do the brace like I said above and a few more-headboard slats going horizontally across the front.

    Xtra tall M105a2

    Thats a good point. I will need to do something to tie it all together. Maybe a brace going from about midway up the first upright to the base of the second at a 45 degree angle. What do you think?

    Xtra tall M105a2

    I got an xtra tall cargo cover from a buddy of mine that was 20" taller that the original one. So I needed to raise the uprights. I drilled out the welds that attached the bow corners to the original uprights. Cut 10pcs of 1 1/2 square tubing 34 3/4" long notched the bottom on a cnc mill and...
