I keep my parking brake nice and tight but I use clocks too just in case. At the storage lot the parking area slopes back a little so I back the deuce up against a nice thick railroad tie. I then apply the parking brake and chocks.

That's crazy. They should have just been honest and said "we don't like you and we're going to get you." Keep plenty of documentation. They could be setting themselves up for an abuse-of-process and harassment lawsuit.

Hi Dave and David. Welcome from Kansas City. Signed, David

My 2008 E-150 has a big gear behind the hubs that the ABS sensor reads. I think lockers might be the better way to go. Even an experienced person could get hammered if the modified brake system fails and hurts someone. No trying to shoot down your idea but I thought the liability issue might be...

The inner seal keeps the differential lube from getting into the steering knuckles. The knuckle boot keeps junk from the outside from getting into the steering knuckle.

CRC brake cleaner and a sponge with the green scrub pad worked well for me too. Then I rinsed everything off with water.

Do you actually need armor type strength? You might think about a tank looking vehicle. Lightweight and easy to move. It would also be easier to maintain. All you'd need it a sturdy frame then sheet metal for the rest.

The mini helos are very fun. A large warehouse or gymnasium is best but the tiny ones do fine in the living room. Just remember not to go cheap. The quality ones cost a little bit but are well worth it.

I wish we'd get a respectably crippling snow fall here in KC. My deuce is bored.

Quarts. When the engine is warm, if the oil is down to 2, add 2 quarts, for example.

I put about 2,000 a year on mine.

Add a remote reservior. It's good for checking your brake fluid level and you can use some of the extra you bought.

Looks like fun!

Glad you had a good mechanic there. When it rains it pours.

My friend has the G177 and his is much easier to steer. You do have to add shims to adjust the caster as some deuces steer funny after putting radials on. His truck feels almost like power steering now.

We back up to a hill at the D-Day park and use ramps about 8 feet long. I know it's not a solution in most cases but if you find a good spot it's well worth it.

My other addiction is N scale. I would love some nice deuce models to fill up a few 89' flat cars.

In low range you ahold be able to tell by the screaming engine, and tach, that you're going too fast. Key glance at your gauges as usual and you'll be fine.

We back up to a hill. I'll have pics available tomorrow evening. I would also like some actual ramps.

Very nice!
