    Spray gun tip size for Carc?

    CARC wants a 1.8-2.2 tip but I have sprayed it all the way down to a 1.4.

    My Camper Project

    I saw this thing at the 2016 GMVR this weekend. This thread doesn't in any way show what all Profo did to it. It's insane. Thank you for giving my friends and I the 5 minute tour. It's amazing.

    If you wanna' build a dog fort or make a stack, that's cool. But Durhamtown forbids the burning of pallets. Once the wood is gone, all that's left is nails and that's bad for tires.

    How do you remove rear leaf spring?

    A lot of people say re-using u-bolts isn't a good idea. I'd re-use the rest of it.

    How do you remove rear leaf spring?

    I don't think it's crazy. There's no other way to paint leaf springs. You have to disassemble them and blast them to get the rust out from between the leaves. If you just sandblast the outside, the rust will creep back out in 6 months.

    How do you remove rear leaf spring?

    Both of ya'll are bringing up very good points. I would say the majority of deuces out there are 40-50 years old and I have encountered several with severely corroded u-bolts. It's really kind of a terrible design, I guess when they did it they didn't think about it or they didn't care because...

    The only thing D-town has ever been a stickler about in regards to helmets was ATVs and such. I've never seen anyone with a helmet in the back of any trucks and they've never requested it, so I'd say you don't need to worry about getting helmets for the kiddos.

    And, a really big announcement. If you were paying attention to the picture of the shirts above, you see that we have come up with some sponsors. The rally costs a lot of money to put on. We need tables, tents, chairs, a PA system, hand washing stations, an attorney, an accountant, an...

    So I went out there today and sat down with Joni for a couple hours and discussed all the rally issues with them. So be patient. Oh man, sorry. I asked them about this and Joni said "every October we had an issue with some smelly homeless guy crashing in it, so we burned it". However, I was...

    brake and clutch pedal adjustment fix.

    That's the reason your pedals were so high......... your truck is either an 87-89 USAF truck or it's had those or M35A3 pedals swapped into it. All the older trucks (1951 through at least 1984) had pedals with 3 notches. See...

    One thousand miles...one thousand dollars

    I don't own a HMMWV so my opinion here.................. I'm an internet commenter so take it all with a bucket of salt. HMMWVs, military vehicles in general are just part of the antique car hobby. In the hobby, you'll encounter a phenomena like this: I have a customer who bought a pretty...

    Wait, how many notches did they have before you added more?

    Georgia Rally for 2016 ???

    I have always thought a yuuuuge part of the Ga rally's success was because of the nice fall weather. I spent 20 years going to car shows in August and I'll never do it again. Absolutely miserable.

    Another M116 Mule trailer

    We just did this on Dave's M105 camper. He uses it for camping and sometimes pulls it with the Ram dually or the M35. We used the 2-1 adapters (packards) to split the 3 taillight circuits out......... one wire goes to the factory military 12 pin trailer connector and the other goes to a civvy...

    I need a single deuce soft top bow-the metal rods that run from the windshield frame back to the soft top frame bow behind the cab. Supposed to have 3, I have misplaced 1.................. Any body have an extra?
