Found a spot for my latest addition to my collection of gauges. This one will indicate the position of the "FDC" stop block. It will be used to monitor the fuel viscosity. To date I have used a digital voltmeter to get an indication , this will be more permanent. The installation isn't...

Lubrication of the differential could be an issue when the locking hubs are used...guess that would be a different subject...

Here is a PS mag note on it.

Wade, not firm on the plans on the day when I'm leaving, but I'll be coming from the Ventura area most likely and heading for Victorville that same day. Riverside may or may not be very much out of the way depending on my route and time of day. According to the map shown here, it would be about...

Here is spicergear's crane.

Awesome machines! Most of us will never own or operate one of those, but what you see below is within our reach...:-) Pulling a CJ-7 "engine pack" at 20 feet.

RE: Re: trip Wade, if you are heading East on Aug 10th , it's a good possibility that we can convoy together for a while....

RE: Re: trip Gary, I may be able to pick it up for you, but I'll be heading East with the new plan. My stop near Barstow is in Victorville....

Imagine your life without steelsoldiers...shut off your computer and sit on the porch for a while....

RE: Re: trip Bruce Beattie finally disclosed the final destination for his laundry trailer, EUREKA, NEVADA! My travel plans will change to the extent that I'll be going into Nevada from Denver (I-70/Rt50). After dropping the trailer off, I will then continue to Sacramento and then on down to...

The thermostat begins to open at about 180-185°F, it's not fully open or fully closed. It is fully open at about 195°F (and 180°F is the stock t-stat). What you see on the dash gauge is pretty much what's happening. I have verifyed it with a digital (fast response) thermocouple probe. If you...

RE: heating If you filter the WVO through a 5 micron filter, you will have to heat the oil to about 150°F or so, otherwise it will take forever. I filter the Biodiesel and the WVO through a 100 micron screen now, with the 3 levels of filtering in the deuce it seems to be plenty good. The only...

So you noticed the wipers! Well, the passenger side is just parked funny. Since I started to use Rainex, I have actually never had to run the wipers, but the upgrade does work a lot better than the originals. Here is a better view of the new paint job. As far as type of paint, I have used oil...

Wow, don't think I would have tried this, good way to get stuck with open diffs...

RE: Re: RE: Deuce generator details Hmmm... I still have the 25A DC generator w/external firewall munted regulator. Plenty of power for my needs. They were also used on the M37 and probably also on the M151 vehicles. I have re-built several 25 amp regulators and added a few components to make...

This was the weight distribution.

Gary and all, my current plan is to leave here on or about Aug 1st. I have a lot to do still, but hope to make without postponement. Area52, lets compare notes later, I will be going through New Mexico at about that time. Where in California are you going? I also have a scheduled stop near...

Here is a pic of my set-up as of today. The VIC-1 is on the back wall not very easy to make out in the picture and the radio mount is below the companion seat. Power to the VIC-1 comes to it via the radio mount and all communication will be done through the intercom head sets. A switch with each...

I agree, I have read about that too. Interestingly, the almost bald tires in the rear (I'm getting new ones :-)), runs much cooler than the tires with heavy lugs. On my recent trip to GA/FL the front tires and the laundry trailer tires, all fairly new got very hot to the touch, while the...

Went ahead and siped both front tires today. No compliated pattern, just cutting from the outside towards the center on all lugs. Took about 10 to 15 minutes/tire. I also had the tires "flipped" on the rims since the outsides were beginning to cup. I have about 12,000 miles on them at this time...
