Anyone else feel like we are prepping for our own field problem?
I am still doing a couple things to the truck to prep. need to rotate a few tires to keep the good ones in the right spots and do a little break maint.
Gonna setup a hammock/fart sack in the back to camp in.
I am pretty...
Hey scott, I used a wagner paint eater on all of my troop seats before I painted. It brought them all down to tan wood. They look really nice now minus just a couple spots. The seats seem to just soak up the 383.
Awww, my truck's little brother is coming right along.
Those holes confound everyone who look at them. They did a weird hack/spit weld for some chock block holders on mine. Seems that motor pool at Lewis had a guy with a wire feed and an attitude. Took me an hour or two to clean mine up with a...
My truck was a toole rebuild. She has a rebuilt engine, tranny, xfere case but they didn't blast it down to metal. When I was taking mine apart and sanding it down I found the original OD green that was under everything. The wiring, and break lines are new as well.
I defiantly agree with the warm fuzzy you get leaving work and having a smiling deuce looking over all the cars at you.
I took my wife to lunch in mine today, took my kid to the pond on Sunday and we went for a pick nick after the parade we were in the weekend before. Those family moments are...
Just a tip for the Herc Liner. When we did my fj40 cab we used a big paint brush and dabbed it on. It looks 100 times better. I tossed that crappy foam roller in the trash.
I used Gill when I redid my deuce. I can't say anything about sun fade just because it is pretty new but I can say it holds up to scratches pretty well. I have climbed all over my fenders and loaded some pretty heavy pallets into the bed and it isn't showing much wear at all. It does need a good...
Between the bed and the cab was the hardest part for me. Hard to clean, hard to paint.
The instid of the cab was pretty easy. I would say to take the time to remove everything. It is a lot easier then it looks and it makes everything so fast in there.
No kidding summit is fast. Installed it tonight. Me and the wife could have a convo at 50 in the thing. You can hear so much more stuff now. Bolts and panels rattling, the top flopping around and the fan screaming above 2k. Not nearly as much gear noise as I expected.
Hey! I knew a guy whos friend told him about this dude who's dad's brother heard in a bar that his buddies father in law had dinner with some old guy who heard......
I was thinking about trying to do a little fold over to take up some of the slack in the back but it would mess with the sides a bit so I left it. I also tried scooting it forward to even it out but it just made it sloppy looking up front. The hang over really isn't that bad. You could space out...
