I've been in that situation before with my duece, and ended up sticking a bunch of logs under the front tires (after jacking the front end up), that didn't work as it sent all the logs straight to the basement. Jacked it up, put a couple square pieces of PLYWOOD under each tire, that worked to...

and he's got the lab beside him to act as a life preserver. safety first!

that bright green color is no problem! That's a beautiful canvas waiting for mud and road-grime to be applied, to give it a veritable 3-color camo scheme![thumbzup]

what part of the country did this happen in? also...what's with the gaping hole on top of the fuel tank?

that's a crying shame. what a terrible time of the year to lose a father. what caused the burn?

watch out, one of those tires has a dime stuck in it. Come on, everyone else was thinking it...

if you decided to wire up an external (aftermarket) voltage regulator instead of scoring a replacement internal voltage regulator, would you have to build something extra to compensate for the rectifier?

I think that insurance covering you in case of an accident depends largely on which insurance company is covering you. I'm sure there are those on this site that have dealt with many more insurance adjusters than I have, but some companies are worse than others. I remember reading a post about...

After reading DUG's thread about wiring a 12v secondary alternator to his duece (I read past page 5, even after his warning, probably should have listened to him) I've got a simple question, and don't feel like tearing up my own equipment to find out. I think I may already know the answer, but...

Thank you for your service! Might serve you well to start watching GL auction lots out of Hill AFB now, so that you know what you can get conveniently in the west. It's a very different market than, say, the southeast.

jt, maybe the operator thought that tracked excavator had "floating tires"[thumbzup]

that's a sweet-looking airhorn! Good luck with your truck.

point taken. Now, how about that insulation?

sorry for being snyde, but the thread was getting off-track pretty quick, blaming a new buyer (we've all been new before) for not knowing how to check a fluid before driving a maintained truck to his house. He might not have even done his own pre-trip at all yet, if he had an experienced brother...

so what kinds of materials are you thinking about using to insulate your cab with? Anyone else done any home-spun cab insulating jobs without having their brake master cylinder fail and killing a bunch of people?

I can't wait to see what you come up with! Good luck, and report back with pictures!

hey, not to derail you on an awesome project...what about just some heavy-duty rubber mats to lay down on the floor, that way you've got a bit of insulation factor and vibration dampener, but you won't have to cut on anything, and access can be gained by simply peeling back or lifting out. Also...

military steel forgot to include wrenches on his "stranded evacuation highway full of cars" idea. forget the beat-it-outta-ya approach with the hammer/punch v. rear end, just use a wrench. Might also make draining oil a bit faster if you're using the plug drain rather that a small hole made with...

you've got a good plan not scrimping on money and risking yours/others lives...sets a good recovery model for others to follow and keep our hobby safe!

I think you're not going to have a problem. the verbage says EVERY...truck used PRIMARILY for recreational purposes. Just don't turn it into a lemonade stand for more than 50% of the time. The first time anyone complains, refer them to the RV truck clause, end of story. Shouldn't matter how...
