Knowing when to pound your chest in a show of being an Alpha male is all well and good, especially when trying to show off to the others of the troop, (or just yourself,) that you are, in fact, an Alpha male. I get pissed off fairly often at the inequities of life, but I also know when it just...

Dave, You are NOT at war! It's not called pacification; it is called "compromise". Yeah, I HATE to do it too, but sometimes, just sometimes", it is the wise thing to do. Discretion being the better part of valor and all that. Take a few steps back and breathe, re-evaluate the situation. If you...

I bought an M105 with a very nice bed and all the bows except for one. Canvas too, in need of some light patching. My truck started this as an M109 so I didn't have the bed, and I am completely lack the skills to shorten one. Anyone in Central Texas willing to take the M105 on trade towards a...

I'd just ask the a******e if a fence would do it, and if so, get it in writing and just put up the fence. To a city it really doesn't matter what is in the books or not. 12 years ago in Colorado I had to find a place to park my 30' transit bus-RV conversion when I moved out and stayed with a...

I've decided that I'm going to add about 9" to the wheelbase of my bob and wanted to see who else has done it, and why. My decision was arrived at for several different reasons. The first of which is that the project has gotten mired almost to a standstill by an injury and over 2 months of...

DOH! Is this a crewcab?:cookoo:

Help me out here as I'm adding about 8-9" to the wheelbase of my bobber, but I can't figure out what your picture is of. Is this a really lengthened bob, an M36 or what? I won't need a two piece driveshaft for my lengthening, will I? Plans are to use a driveshaft loop just in case things go...

I use used AGM computer backup batteries in my deuce, the one before that, and all my other vehicles (until they stopped making them in smaller sizes like group size 24's.) They're a lot heavier than even Optima's, so inspite of them being deep cycle they have tremendous starting power. New they...

I built Psychotic Reaction back in '03-'04, but had to sell it back then. It still gives me thrills to see that it's still being enjoyed by so many. (The bottom three pics of the replica were from when I owned it). I think it was the first deuce replica at the time. As for building one: GO FOR...

Look at batteries this way: A 12V battery is a series of 6 2V batteries, and 2, 4, 12, or 960 etc batteries are simply adding up to one big battery, whether they are in series or parrallel, or both (yes, you can do it.) If you want the least expensive 12 V system, simply add an extra battery...

Young Padawan Badga (my son) forgets that we're gonna try to take the back of the hardtop off and make temp vertical supports. Did this on my first deuce, except I used shelter halfs to make a bikini top. It was really cool (if not that much cooler), and it kept us getting baked like we did the...

KILL THIS THREAD! KILL IT BEFORE IT BREEDS MORE OF IT'S ILK!!!!!!! Paraphrased from that truly great American philosopher Robin Williams (He said some really great stuff 30 years ago!) :deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse:

Does someone 'round these parts own stock in the company that makes these lockers? :deadhorse:

I am becoming tired of having stuff removed. It has only happened twice, but both on this thread. Yeah, a bit sarcastic, but some funny stuff to ad some levity. Yeah, I don't have a large amount of posts, but that's because I try not to put anything up without it having some value. If I'm going...

Someone should get to bed on time (Note post time!) Oh well, he is right. We did FINALLY get the suspension off of the frame, finally resorting to a new (and clean) cutting torch. The d#$% rivets STILL didn't want to come out and it took the jack in the center prying the middle joining...

That's the one. Here's the link: Ice Pilots NWT

Can't remember the name of the show, but believe it's on Nat Geo about an outfit that flies in Canada to remote outposts in the north. They have some C-47s, I think, but they do fly the C-46s. Great show.

I didn't read most of the replies, got tired after the first page of reading diet advice. If you're thin, good for you. Keep the advice to yourself. Rant over. As to the seat, I found the quick and dirty way to free up a few inches (until a better alternative arises) is to cut the upholstery...

Yeah, we're talking just about the bogie brackets, and I'm just going to recycle them anyway.. Once again, thanks to everyone for the help. :grd:

This sounds kind of ominous. In flattening the rivets against the bracket, yes, I've ground into the bracket as well. Should I expect something bad from this, and what is the cure?
