HAH! I hear ya there! However, the hard top was sprayed with Rapco enamel paint, and wasn't powder coated. The powder coat parts look just a little pale compared to the Rapco. I still think they'll all look fantastic together.

I was able to, finally, get my hard top yesterday. Fortunately we were able to agree on a fair labor price and double fortunately it looks great! The portion of the gallon Rapco enamel paint used was thinned in a 4:1 ratio with Xylene. Very little of the gallon was actually used. I tested it...

I've never messed with mine, and really don't want to, but realistically I will probably need to sooner than I think. I would be interested in 3 - but price dependent. I want to live by this mindset, but eventually I'll have all my money tied up in spares that never get used. :roll:

I completed my dual front bumper shackles addition. I think I'll tie the lower shackles to the upper ones with some 550 cord so they'll hang "upward". The new, longer bolts I purchased were all too long but they were on clearance at Fastenal and the whole order, shipped, for less than...

A long with a number of other projects, I picked up the shock mounts from the powder coater, they look great and he did a good job not painting the threads or post! I hope to get to this project later in July/August. ;)

A few months late, but here's some close ups:

I picked up the wheels from the powder coater last Friday (06/10/2016). They look so good. Premium flat black. They have a satisfying silky texture too. The wheels were suspended by a wire about their mid section to preserve the integrity/quality of all the exterior and exposed surfaces. I have...

I picked up my massive pile of parts from the Powder Works on Friday, and I was right, they look spectacular and he got everything right! This is the culmination of about 10 months of projects all ready for final assembly. At least one of these projects have been overcome by events but the...

Thank you cattlerepairman, your well wishing means much to me. I have confirmed with the Powder Coater that all will be ready as scheduled for a Friday morning pickup. I fear the cost, but I also think it'll be the better of the outsourced money spent.

Because scboolitcaster asked earlier, here's a link to a bunch of pictures of the rebuild: Post #5422 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?67703-What-did-you-do-to-your-deuce-this-week&p=1882856&viewfull=1#post1882856 And Post #5424...

And I finally installed the NEW u-bolts for the driver's-side font leaf springs from my caster angle adjustment mod last fall. Old u-bolt on the left, new one on the right. Notice the new one Six States wasn't able to do the slight round bend and it's more square at top. I would have anyway...

I rebuilt my airpack and installed a new master cylinder last Friday & Saturday. After a brand-new brake return spring arrives, I'll bleed the system this weekend and hopefully we'll be back in business. I had a couple issues, first the rebuild kit from Erik's Military Surplus didn't include...

Just like the Navy quote: "Any ship can be used as a mine sweeper, once."

Second, the powder coated parts (legs, adapter plate and etc) will supposedly be ready for pickup Friday morning. The Powder Works in West Valley, UT was recommended to me by Scott at the Iron Works in Woods Cross, UT (who I have the utmost respect for) so I have high hopes on the results of the...

Three weekends until my truck has to be ready and I'm having problems with the sandblaster/painter. Guess I should have done it myself. I've also made unnecessary trips to his shop because he got his customers confused and him forgetting on times we discussed and agreed to before hand (he needs...

If you have the exact links on Amazon, that'd be swell. ;)

I have a deuce with a winch, and I can say that I most certainly had to remove the fan to pull the radiator out. The 4 (I think it was four if memory serves...) that hold the fan on were definitely hard to reach, but I recall them being more difficult to put back in than take out. What I did...

Could be just really corroded internally in the light, or the brake switch is out. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?69170-Updated-brake-switch&p=1881770&viewfull=1#post1881770

Those links are the same. But yes, you have "old style" brake lights. Two revisions out-of-date. The nothing wrong with them other than being very, very dim by today's standards. The old style also only has 3 wires vs the newer being 4 wires (or 4 + 1 ground). The newest style are LEDs...
