Hey guys, I can only guess that these axles are at about 0º of castor, which isn't working well with radial tires and high speeds. I was looking at getting some shims made, and they're not terribly expensive: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/Shims.shtml#CustomWidthShim...

Man, still get a kick out of that truck. Also, nothing like basic cable to put a face with a name here. ;)

So I bought 5 of these puppies: http://web.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=881210 They draw 5 Amps after startup, and run on diesel oil. Here are some pictures. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=photoshare&func=showimages&fid=165 Does anyone know where I might find some...

Hi guys, I just wanted to report back on finally rebuilding my air over hydraulic cylinder on my trailer. It took about 30 minutes, plus 30 minutes to debug and bleed. A few hints: A small cylinder hone would have been helpful to resurface the bore of the fluid cylinder, and also, make sure...

Hey guys, I got my new wheel centers back from the waterjetters last night. I still have to locate them into the wheel shell and weld them, but I'm pretty close. http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=59843 Cheers Bob

So you know how the rear tandems utilize the rear leafs to position the axle laterally, right? I was looking at this over last weekend, and it looks as though there's alot of slop built into the system. The slop is seen where the lowest leaf sits in its guide, and I'm referring to the guide...

Well, I finally stumbled across some good used radials for the front, so I was finally able to get my deuce above 45 the other day. Previously, I had bigger tires on the rear, which hosed my caster and prevented any sort of speed. Now, with proper caster, I'm now realizing how important Front v...

Has anyone else seen the recent auctions across the country that are very clear in stating that they will not provide SF97's or Titles? What are people doing with these trucks, then? Sounds like a phenomenal pain in the kiester to title from *scratch*. Bob

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=437909 I can definitely use at least one of these lockers to allow my buggy to actually [thumbzup] steer and not just "skid steer". ;)

I am wondering if it would be at all remotely possible to swap the gears in the transfer case... for either the 1:1 high gear, or swap the gears around in the "low" side. It's a crazy idea, but I wonder if anyone has been inside here and if they understand how the gears are attached to the...

Hey Guys I think this is the right forum for this. I picked up an M105A2 trailer from a guy on this board, and it's missing a bed. This is perfect, since all I want to do is make a rig hauler from it. I was full steam ahead to put my buggy in the deuce bed, but that would have taken 12'...

http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&categoryId=10332&langId=-1 So I saw these puppies while I was whipping through the trucklite catalog in Napa. I asked the counterguy how much the red brake / turn lights were. Something like...

I just realized that we would make a great Monster garage team. ;)

Hey guys, I am about to go freaking postal here. I need to fabricate a shift tower for my 6853 tranny. The goshdarn unit I have keeps breaking. It's a cast unit, and I've taken the TIG to this thing three times now, and even with the most diligent pre and post heat and care, I am convinced...

Quick post, gotta prep for a meeting, but here goes

I didn't even see this forum until today, but it would be a great place to talk about Active Truck Parts. They have 2 5 tons out there, slowly rusting: http://www.activetrucksales.com/ My pics, taken during a run out there in October for wheel and brake parts...

Hey guys, What is the size of the universal joint on the shaft between the transmission and transfer case? 1550, right? Cleveland style with the bolt on caps? Thanks in advance! I need to get a new output flange for the project tranny and I need to know that measurement. Bob
