    Oh my god.....wife posted this

    Good for her! In all honesty, if you look back at some of my very first threads, you will see me whining about my wife complaining about the MV hobby. That is when I learned to think it through, reason with her once, and then not say another word no matter how much she nagged. I believe a...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Oh my god.....wife posted this

    My wife likes to say this: Honey, you are the head of the family, but I am the neck, and the neck can turn the head if it wants to. And this is the reason why I married her. She realizes my role as the husband, but does not for one second let me walk all over her. Eve was taken from Adam's side...

    Deuce air cleaner modifiacation W/LDS engine

    When I put a K&N filter in my '06 2500HD Silverado, the check engine light came on. When I pulled the code, it was the MAF sensor not being able to handle more air. I tried buying a hypertech and programming in all three stages, but none of them helped, so I emailed K&N. and they told me I would...

    HEMTT Wheels for Your Deuce are READY TO ROLL!

    I have not read every page of this thread, just the first 4 or 5, so hope this is not a repeat question. Anyway, here goes... it might also be a stupid question, but her it comes... ok, uh... These are tube type rims, am I correct? If so, do you have plans for tubeless, or are these tubeless...

    Good place to buy selectro hubs

    Pretty cool website. Nice price on the winch cable. I was kind of shocked at the price for the selctro hubs however. Thought the hubs for my Dana 60 was high at about $100.

    Making my laundry list...need input

    If you are looking for a really nice bobbed deuce example, check out the "Lifting a bobbed deuce" thread and the well-centered wheels on Ridgerunner's vehicle. I think he is using the same size tires of that 5th truck down on that website of which you were typing. WHile 5-tons are nice, a deuce...

    Making my laundry list...need input

    Hey Mconstantbabble, you think you're OCD? Did you notice you used both a period and question mark at the end of your last sentence.? Welcome to the loony bin. I am the king of OCD, and also the king of procrastination. I know you need to bow and pay homage, but you can get to that later...

    I am trying to find a way to get more cab space out of mu deuce.

    I think the extended cab would be more useful, look better, and be easier to utilize since you wouldn't have to physically get out of the cab to use the extra space. Looking over the crewcab designs on here, I would think you could get the extended cab effect by reversing the rear doors, and...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Hey Streetbikedepot, have you seen the lift kit built by Ridgerunner in Lifting a Bobbed deuce thread? Do you think you could cut some plates and sell those to those of us interested? I already aske Ridgerunner if he mids people playing copy-cat, and he said that was fine with him, so how about...

    Made a console / stuff box

    That is nice. I've been thinking of making something for storage in the cab of my M109, and this would be a good start until I can find another springer seat to put in the passenger side, and have a section between the two where I could build another console there. I also like the fact a...

    Oh my god.....wife posted this

    I stand corrected on the date. I believe it was segregation with which I was confused. Happens all the time. My point was in the 1950s children had mothers doing a very important job for which they evidently did not get enough credit, and we had minor problems from minors. I also was simply...

    Oh my god.....wife posted this

    I have not read every post on this thread, but I do like the one a few pages back that asked if you ever considered being the Man of the house. After many failed relationships with gringas, as my wife calls them, I finally settled for a cute young lady from Venezuala. Before we became officially...

    Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

    Interesting website. The prices are kind of high however.

    Work on the baby HEMTT grinds to a start.

    That is one cool wippersnapper of a HEMTT. Hmmm... So now I might have an idea with what to do with the Detroit 8V92TA I'm trying to sell on ebay. Somebody offered me $4500 for it last week, and now I'm kind of glad to turn them down. I just wonder about the steering and that 4100# V8 getting in...

    New Snorkel

    With that high of an intake, you will need scuba gear to drive if you test its limits... While it does look better painted, I have to agree with the muffler shop idea. I also wonder how long that paint will stick before bugs and other things cause it to flake off.

    another bullet muffler install

    I would stay away from your buddy with the flu for a while after he gets over it. Most of the virus is shed after the recovery phase.

    Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

    Ok, so I am slowly checking off the things I need to play copy-cat. I have a deuce, a 105A2 trailer, and hopefully I will be able to win five 12.5 x R20 Michelins tomorrow if I can somehow avoid a bidding war. Those XZLs are bigger, but do you know how tall the XLs are? I have looked over the...

    Sale 4991- EUCs stuck at GL?

    Since you have waited this long, and if you really want that particular deuce, it might pay to practice playing extremely patient. If you are tired of having nothing to show for your money, I would demand a refund. Who knows, it might sell cheaper after being relisted (doubtful, but possible)...
