28 lbs, I think. No more than 30.

Certainly you have a good reason to work on it now, but I think you should look at the reasons prior to this that have kept you from working on it and the likelihood that those reasons will crop up again. Weigh, also, do you need the money, or can you afford the space and the loss of any value...

You can find them (among other places) at Harbor Freight, at $1/lb. Home Depot also sells it. Probably hunt around and get a better price if you buy a bigger quantity (keep in mind, it will rot if it's not protected) from somewhere.

Yep, visited the mechanic today to drop off a part and talk him into doing more work. When I got there, he was redoing some air lines and told me he just broke a fuel line. I let him know it's ok, and he can replace any old lines with upgraded lines as necessary. I'm not gonna nit-pic a...

Sounds like you just need to build a giant, heated/indoor drive-thru, sonic cleaner. Problem solved!

I'm gonna install the gate on the engine side of the air intake. I also have a 5lb CO2 extinguisher.

I don't expect to face anything like what's in the vid except maybe in an emergency situation, and if I lose the dryer because of this, I won't mind. I'm not building a rock crawler. I'll take a look at other deuce frames, do a little research and decide what to do about those bolts near the...

You'll probably go through a couple blue tarps per winter - I switched to white tarps, they're about twice as thick but not twice as expensive. Does anyone use canvas tarps? I would think they would hold up better to the elements, but have never tested one. Instead of pvc, you could just build...

They are there. So the spring assemblies are still present, forward of the middle axle, forward of the rigid splash guard. That connection point to the right of where the dryer is, is that supposed to be a spring assembly as well, are all the connection points to the bed supposed to be spring...

I'm not worried about it. If I was to concern myself with the all the possibles of what MIGHT happen, I wouldn't be able to leave the house. What's the problem with bolting to the bed & frame?

:lol: For my part, that 2 feet is where I'm planning a mechanical room for my HVAC, spare tire carry and tool storage.

So, my deuce is at a shop getting air lockers installed - more detail on this in the thread under Deuce Modifications sub-board. Anyways, while it's there I thought I'd get some other work done, if the price was reasonable (to me). So, today, they installed an air dryer and alcohol evaporator...

The beginning of this thread is a good read. I think the next time I work on my air intake I'll put a blast gate in the air line and an emergency cut off switch in the cab like was mentioned on post #10...

I suppose it depends on what you plan on using the vehicle for. There are several things the deuce was designed for that may not be present when you start with a not-deuce frame.

When I asked about this his response was: "There is a seal, bonded piston seal, that may be defective. We replaced that in advance. Think of it as a recall."

So, an update. I eventually had to go out of the country (fortunately I live pretty close) to find someone willing to do the differential work. I called probably a dozen shops in WA and most just weren't set up to work with a truck the size of the deuce and I only found one that admitted to...

One issue with buying new shoes, unless you have a local source is the shipping. Midwestjeepwillys.com has our shoes, all ready to go and offer free shipping over $50. I was shocked that it applied to brake shoes as these things weigh quite a bit, but a couple years ago I bought several pair...

Hmm...the truck weighs just shy of 7 tons, empty. I don't know what kind of weight the motorhome adds to it, but there's only so much you can do with a heavy truck. I'm pretty impressed with the stopping of the deuce, all things considered. Best way to stop is to plan for it. I can lock up...

Hopefully, by next weekend I will have. My air lockers are taking extra time because the installer found a problem, contacted ARB and they are picking up the tab for warranty work. And it put the installer way behind - I think he spent an entire day on just one. Installer is just working on...

I think if it started its life as a deuce and you can still see it, it counts. Though I'm a little biased as time goes on and I mod mine more and more away from stock.
