    Jump starting 24V with 12 volt?

    We did a couple 998s from cars before.... I do agree that bringing batteries would be infinitely better then cobbling together a jump.

    I couldn't help myself. Warning, Some cussing and flamboyance.

    Gun Trucks of Iraq

    Here is the 998 we did in Kuwait for the trip in. They made us take the candy bars off of the brush guard.

    Overkill Customs Bobbed Deuce

    What did the original rim come off of? Those look a lot like the rims my tires came on.

    tire size = mph?

    I run g286s which are about 43-44 inches tall. They ride awesome, turn awesome, and do just slightly better off road then NDCCs. They run 50 (gps) while the speedo is showing 45 and really put the tranny in a sweet spot. I was going to put the mudders on later but I think I am sticking with...

    Why is taking 12v from one batt bad?

    If you switched the batts every once in a while, would it help? Would a 12 charger on that batt every once in a while also mitigate this? i am all for getting a step down. I just need to get it in.

    a1 vs a2?

    The 427 had reliability issues from what I have heard. The transmission had a different shift pattern. I can't tell you much on the gearing other then the plate I have on my wall from one shows a top speed of 60 rather then 56.

    a1 vs a2?

    Transmission is different, most had a sprag and they had the short lived 427 multi fuel.

    Choosing the Right MV for the Job - Need Ideas, Experience, & Opinions from MV Users

    The Deuce sizes are deceiving. We put mine next to my buddie's suburban and the deuce just came out 3 ft longer. I think wider and taller is where it hurts.

    PNW-2011-Third Annual Chehalis River Valley M/V Convoy&Campout

    On the way over refueling just for fun I was getting closer to 10 - 11 coming from Garfield to Tri Cities doing between 45 and 50. 90 gallons of that fuel was waste oil so I am really not worried about it. By the GPS, my speed from Yelm to MT vernon and then to Garfield was around 57 so I...

    PNW-2011-Third Annual Chehalis River Valley M/V Convoy&Campout

    Now I have had a little time to rest. That was a great trip. The rain gave the camp-out a little character at the beginning but it was just a good time. At the end of the day me and Crystal calculated the mileage on the deuce to be 1005 miles. By far my longest trip in the deuce. I used 125...

    PNW-2011-Third Annual Chehalis River Valley M/V Convoy&Campout

    Well guys, just got home a little bit ago. The brakes on the minivan went tango uniform on Sunday so I left directly for Mount Vernon after playing at Brad's for a while. 3 hours deuce drive and 22 dollars in parts later, I had her back up and going. Fun part about that drive was in the last 10...

    Haha Scott. You could kinda do what we did: Went to the judge and got the whole married thing over with in 15 min. A day or two later I got the call for Iraq so I had to go. We had our party 2 years later when I got back. On all our invitations we put the 2 year delayed reception. It was just...

    Hey Dale, my kid will be there too. I just finished re-installing the kid chair in the deuce. Leaving for the west side tomorrow morning! Just need to get the 105 packed and hooked up now.

    Just a few more days... :-P I was wondering how this hasn't been bumped every 5 min but then realized Scott was out of interwebs.

    Did you know that if you pull the final drives on an M1 it no longer has breaks or steering? Ask me how I know.

    With the fuel I am going to be running... there will be no bugs, trust me. I looked up the Daytime temps there this coming weekend. 70s. So I am guessing it is going to be really cold again. I am not sure if this is allowed but I'll post it here because it pertains the most. I have a bunch...
