I'm looking for lifting equipment right now. I want the capability of lifting the entire deuce off of the ground, possibly up to 1' after the wheels come off. Right now my best idea is to get four 3-6 ton jack stands and one or two hi-lift jacks. The hi-lift jacks will lift the required...

At some point this winter I'm going to do some work in AutoCAD and see if I can't make a set of arched ramps that a car could drive up on. Other uses would be to go get a load of gravel, mulch, sand, wood, etc. and use the deuce for that. Add a dump bed and it makes life even easier. You...

Well fortunately we have mandatory uninsured/underinsured insurance in MD. Even if she doesn't have current insurance or her insurance rejects her for breaking their policy, your insurance company will still cover you without screwing with your rates. You might be out of a deductible ($100 I...

It's a specialty tag through our IAFF Local 1664. The first two letters of the tag are PF, indicating "professional firefighter."

I wonder if I can still get PF tags on a deuce like I have on my other vehicles.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that the Line-X material doesn't stick well to bare metal. I think it at least needs primer to stick to.

I think I'd get busy with separate components and start piecing them together myself for that price. $800 --> OUCH!

I got air, oil, and fuel filters with gaskets all in a package from Desert Deuce Surplus recently. IIRC, they were about $115 shipped. I think they have an oil and fuel filter package too if you don't need the air filter.

Until you meet a bumpy road that constantly displaces the beads or you're accelerating or slowing down. Yes, the physics works for a perfectly smooth road with no change in speed.

I first encountered DynaBeads (from Innovative Balancing) via the motorcycle world. I wasn't sold on their theories at all, especially since they cannot show that they work on a dynamic spin balancing machine. I emailed the company expressing my concern in their lack of proof that they work, I...

we've got limiter straps on all of our new firetrucks for that very reason, and they have tilt and telescoping steering wheels too

Very cool!
