    Here is an unusual item - CARGO TRUCK, 2-1/ 2 TN, #XM956

    Looks to me like it has 900x20 tires on the normal 900 series rims.

    How'd you mount them? I'm looking to do some as well.

    Crane truck

    Northern Tool has two that I've been thinking about getting. I think the shorter one is what I'll go with. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=6970&productId=298136&R=298136

    Portable shelters?

    That's for the 8' Shelters (not the ISO spec 8'6" shelters).

    Deuce Prop for photo shoot..

    Well, I finally got something in return for having one of my vehicles at the disposal of a photographer. I took the Ferret (Saturday) and Deuce (Sunday) over to Advance Armaments. Looks like the owner is compensating all of us that brought ourselves and gear to the shoot with a free (doesn't...

    Fab up a folding hinge/cover as part of the guard for the IR light to keep it from damage.

    Where's the dang fuel tank and battery box?

    Wiring up stuff (lights)

    So that rod projects out of the transmission and moves further back, when put into reverse? Good place for that actually. So long as the transmission doesn't move around. Or is your switch mounted to the transmission?

    Observations in Flat Towing

    So, you're towing the deuce with out brakes? Just how safe is this and why haven't the cops pestered you about it? You do this on the highway?

    Wiring up stuff (lights)

    What did you use for a switch on the gear shift lever for backup light function? My initial thought is to just turn it on. Another question, where to hook it all in to get power? Direct from the batteries or off an accessory lead in the harness somewhere?

    Wiring up stuff (lights)

    Seems like some standard headlight mounts would work too. The lamps I bought for $7 ea are these.http://www.hella.com/produktion/HellaPortal/WebSite/Internet_usa/ProductsServices/Heavy_Duty/Halogen_Work_Lamps/Rubber_Housing/Rubber_Housing.jsp 24 volt H3 70watt bulbs too. Should be plenty bright.

    These have a hinge so I could pivot them easily.

    Deuce in the snow today

    Chains are good in mud too. The Brits had special racks just for stowing tire chains on their trucks in WWII just for the muddy conditions of europe.

    Wiring up stuff (lights)

    Hmm, where to put them? I could make some guards that bolt up under there as well, just inside of where that footstep is. Kinda think the foot step needs to be longer (a bar on 2 heavy cables like on utility service trucks?).

    Wiring up stuff (lights)

    On the way home, I kind of got to thinking that rather than an individual switch panel per device, it'd be nice to just install a small panel with 3-4 toggles on it. Aux front floods Rear flood Internal dome something else (I'll think of an extra function that'd be nice) If I just put two...

    Wiring up stuff (lights)

    So I bought some nice hella work lights from a local truck parts place that had them for $7 each. Looking around online seems like a good deal. Rubber mounted H3 bulbs. He even had 24 volt bulbs there at the store. So, my plan now is to mount one facing rearwards under the bed and two facing...

    Bed Bow section lengths?

    So I'm going to try to make a set of cargo bed bows to go with my top. I found some dropside bed corners that I'll be using on my non-dropside bed. I grabbed those because they have the quick release pin and they were available. What height do I need for the staves (vertical parts?). Obviously...

    Am I dreaming to find one?

    Get A deuce tractor and a tag trailer. Add an m105 bed to the tractor (stretch the cut outs and cut off the front wall of the trailer bed. Then n add an S250 shelter for a camper on the back of your deuce. Then you have a short wheel base that can get back in the woods to get your truck and drag...

    worked the deuce today to free a 36000lb crane!

    What weight capacity snatch blocks did you get? I'd like to have good blocks for this in the future. Where to store them all on the truck, I'm not sure. You rapidly run out of tool boxes on the Deuce. If I had a welder already, I'd have made some sheet metal storage boxes in the space between...
