    Alternator Pulley Source?

    I just bored mine out to 7/8" on a drill press. Didn't take me 20 min. No noticeable run out. Seriously, you guys are way over thinking this. The shaft doesn't need the hole to be very tight. A few thousandths over bore won't hurt. The nut and fan are what clamp the pulley in place. I...

    Gear Oil Leak Under Drivers Side

    I don't have a winch truck but I don't see why the same process can't be used. Worst case the excess grease seeps out of the seal. I don't know how much it would hold though.

    Gear Oil Leak Under Drivers Side

    The steering box holds 3 1/2 tubes of grease. I forget the size bushing I used, but I screwed a zerk fitting into a brass bushing. I then screwed that into the bottom drain hole. Then pumped until grease came out of the fill hole.

    Gear Oil Leak Under Drivers Side

    Not exactly uncommon for a steering box to leak. You basically have 2 choices. Either rebuild the steering box or fill it with John deere cornhead grease. Obviously the correct way is to rebuild the box. Though it isn't an uncommon thing to fill a manual steering box with flowable grease...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    That and a lot of pullers don't like to give out their secrets.

    LED headlight gripe of the day

    There are companies making automotive and industrial led lighting that is super high quality. It's just that trucklite and apparently grote are absolute amateurs at the game. Yet they seem to have excellent salesmen who specialize in reeling in dod contracts.

    LED headlight gripe of the day

    If they weren't almost $800 for a pair I would have already ordered them. The reviews I'm finding for them seem to rate them as excellent.

    I wish you hadn't shown me that. Now I really want some!!

    LED headlight gripe of the day

    Now these would look great on my deuce since I'm blacking out my whole grille. Unfortunately they are rather expensive. USA made though and 24v.

    LED headlight gripe of the day

    I agree that the heatsink being closed in can't be great for these lights. However, I don't think that's the direct cause. The more I research led failures the more I realize these lights don't fit the template for diodes burning out due to overheating. They act more like a solder joint...

    LED headlight gripe of the day

    I hope it's better than the garbage they were making before.

    LED headlight gripe of the day

    Yall are both wrong. Led's emit almost no infrared light. The diodes themselves get very hot. Look at any led light bar and the housing is one giant heatsink. In fact when building led fixtures you bond the led itself to the heatsink with thermal adhesive. Depending on the driver type they...

    Multifuel Automatic Transmisson?

    Maybe he's thinking of an a3 hood?

    Run Flats on a3 wheels?

    I don't know if it would "need" to be 2 separate 1/2" pieces but it certainly would be a better approach in my opinion.

    soft brakes, and some more newbie questions

    If he has to add fluid there is still a leak somewhere. The spongy pedal is from air in the brake system. Never assume anything is good. The master cylinder, air pack, or one of the wheel cylinders could be leaking. Adding a heater isn't a big deal. Shop around. They can be found at...

    Run Flats on a3 wheels?

    This could be possible. Though how you would make one and out of what is the question.

    Question about mounting m105 frame on bobbed deuce

    I need to thank Lieutenantdan for posting these awesome pictures of his bobber flexing out over a boulder. He's running 14.00's.

    Question about mounting m105 frame on bobbed deuce

    What sized tire are you using? 14.00-20s fit just fine under an m105 bed right on the deuce frame. If your trying to use 16.00-20s then they won't fit up front anyways. You will need a lift. Which solves any rear clearance issues anyways.

    Run Flats on a3 wheels?

    $200 each for a3 wheels is a steal. Unless you just desperately want the run flats I'd stick with the a3 wheels. Much simpler to deal with. And you already have them.

    Run Flats on a3 wheels?

    You sure you don't have beadlocks instead of runflats?
