    Where to get packard connectors?

    I'd rather not have to splice wires. Run a continuous wire to a connector. I don't mind splicing in at a single point a bunch of wires, but that preference is for the ends at the lights and components I've added so I can remove individual components. ie I'd prefer Light----wire-----Connector...

    Where to get packard connectors?

    And I just found one of the companies that makes these. http://www.amerline.com/singlewire.htm Looks like they make the trailer, Slave and other types of connectors too.

    Where to get packard connectors?

    I would still prefer a proper assortment kit for these. That'd make my work far easier when it comes to re-wiring things. Heck, if I'd had an assortment of these, I'd have used those rather than the standard crimp on style connectors you get at autozone. Still, those shoudld work fine given I...

    Brake ADjustment?

    The adjuster bolts are exactly like the ones on my Dingo. I was just unsure of direction to turn them. The ferret as two bolts one on top of another (one has a shaft inside the other) for adjusting the front and rear shoes. thanks.

    Brake ADjustment?

    So, I know my Deuce will lock it's brakes. I was trucking down the street and decided that the now yellow light meant I needed to stop. So, I got on the brakes, hard. I must have hit the pedal like I do in the ferret (grab the wheel and lean back) because It really stopped. Sent my notebook...

    Tool Box ideas....

    It's Lockable Toole Storage that I'm wanting more of. If I have $300 worth of tools and such on the truck, the last thing I want is someone to be able to climb in the bed and just take them. Same things goes for jerry cans with fuel in them. I kind of agree on the german jerry can design. I'm...

    Front Drive Flanges?

    What about only installing a single set of tires on the rear axle? Would that help?

    Wiring up stuff (lights)

    Already full. 50' Air hose, small tool bag, DOT Triangles, Flares, fire extinguisher, rain suit, ECWS jacket, butyl gloves and a box of spare headlights to keep the dot inspector's off my back.

    Front Drive Flanges?

    That's right, it just spins the rear pumpkin. I really need to see if there's a MV junk yard near Fort Gilliem like I've been told by a few old salts around atlanta.

    Front Drive Flanges?

    Snow is of course a fear. I'd greatly prefer not to have to try to re-install the rear drive shaft on the side of the road laying in snow. Front lockouts would be highly preferred. Heck, I wish there was an easy rear axle lockout box one could install.

    Was it vertical or horizontal?

    Front Drive Flanges?

    So you're saying leave the front hubs 'engaged' and disconnect the rear axle? I'm wishing I had some 1100x20s already. (on the long list) Getting this trailer setup properly is costing a pretty penny. Thing is, I'll be towing the 5 tons of trailer (1.5 for the trailer, 3 tons worth of dingo)...

    Tool Box ideas....

    Hanging from the rear mudflaps? Is that solid enough for full jerry cans?

    Tool Box ideas....

    Hmm, I wonder if I could borrow welding gear from work.

    Tool Box ideas....

    So looking at old British Trucks has got me thinking about low profile tool boxes that could be installed under the beds of Deuces and 5 tons. Jerry can stowage too. The only thing I lack is a welder and chop saw to make them happen. Anyone think or make anything like this before? For Jerry Can...

    Front Drive Flanges?

    So, I have a 800 mile trip coming up this end of January. And I want to squeeze more milage from the deuce. I'll be pulling about 5 tons on a trailer behind so I'm not sure if I want to disable the rear dual. But, the front axle could certainly loose the extra drag. I'd love to get a set of...

    S-318 0n M103A3

    I'd prefer to put it on a 1.5 ton trailer. I don't have the space for a 'pull only' shelter mobilizer. I could never park it in the spaces I have for the MVs beside/behind my house.

    Brake Light Switch Upgrade Questions

    Wiring up stuff (lights)

    And finally, the light switch panel as well as a side shot to show off the front floods again. I haven't driven it with the floods, but they're bright right in front. I figure with highbeams and the floods on, I ought to really be able to blind the deer. Of course the side shot shows how much...
