What I do for canvas support is just run straps front to back under the canvas, maybe 2 or 3 depending how much snowfall we get, that tends to work very well. As long as the canvas can't sink too much in any one place you're OK. Not sure if anything but plywood would suuport that much weight

and now for my follow up- can you EASILY modify 10R20 truck chains down to 9.00x20? Tire chains this time of year are scarce and I'll take what I can get. thanks for any tips Lance

nice work!

hmmm... interesting, in that case I definitely would have bought the kit. I wonder if somebody added these or if they are the standard ones?

dang, $12, that's not bad! But, then I wouldn't be able to post a "writeup" :lol:

sick and tired of crouching down under your deuce to drain each tank individually? Sick of muddy shoulders and strained backs? Me too, but I wasn't keen on the remote drains I've seen, mainly because of cost. Hey, I'm REALLY cheap! so I made my own: I first took out each petcock...

I second that, Joe's been a real help to me and all the others he's dealt with. Class act

well, haven't gotten to it yet. Been way too cold and wet, this weekend it's supposed to be dry and I will tackle it. I don't have any prior engagements so I'm getting my insulated coveralls and going for it :burger:

that's a great tip. I had seen something similar in the field recovery manual, but never really gave it a second thought. I could get a good 100 foot of cable with a hook on one end and shackle/tree saver on the other. Would have came in very handy in the wooded area. Speaking of, you can...

that's the truth! the other day ago: <img src="http://www.buschandbusch.com/snow3.jpg" border="0"> I wanted some better pics, so I went out in the blizzard into a wooded area and proceeded to drive into a hidden ditch and gte stuck: <img src="http://www.buschandbusch.com/snow5.jpg"...

the stock brake is, well, OK on flat surface. That's about it. You can't tell if it's on while you're driving, until you smell it, and the drum on the driveshaft picks up a lot of rust and grime from the road, making it even worse. Mine needs adjustment, but I have to hold it in the all the...

thanks guys, I got another great one, stood further away and zoomed in but the flying snow blurred it a little nice though. It's still blizzard out now, maybe I can get some more, I'll post a much bigger version if you want it as a desktop as far as being stuck, it's very unpredictable. What...

it definitely is fun. My observations about the deuce in the snow (and this is only four wheel drive) is that it does OK. I mean, it'll get there, but it might take some back and forth if you get stuck, or even the shovel. That only happens when you try to show off, like drive through the...

hey guys, well, today my parking brake did show up, after a few weeks of trying to pin him down after reading spicergears story I was quite worried and decided I needed to go on the offensive to get it here, but it's in my hands, now the real test is making sure it bolts on and isn't missing...

hey thanks for the offer, I'm pretty sure I downloaded that one already, if not I'll take you up on that thanks for the info and I will take a bunch of pictures

a word of warning- I may be mistaken but I don't believe you can get the 5 ton due to the fact you'll need a CDL to drive it and isn't there an 18 yo age limit at least? I could be wrong, just something to watch out for

these pics are from last week, but we're getting an even worse storm as we speak. I was born and raised here and have never seen 1 storm that dumped as much in one day as this, let alone two weeks in a row. It's usually dry powder, not this wet snow we've seen <img...

cool, in that case he should be fine I had never been exposed to any big trucks, and barely any manual trannies, or anything like the deuce before I had to hop up in the seat and drive it out on a busy highway for a 420 mile trip home <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">...

having not matured much in the 10 years since I graduated high school, I can say with certainty a deuce might not be the best choice, though you do raise some valid points. Had I had the deuce as my first truck I probably would have quit driving! I had my '73 Chevy pickup, and that was too...
