I have a sale pending on it...new owner is planning on picking it up this weekend.

Well, I'm considering sending this truck off to a new owner. I have driven this A2 about 3000 miles each year that I owned it, until last year when it only saw about 500 miles. This year is shaping up to be another 500 mile year. I just don't have the time to enjoy it like I used to. In...

Got to use the deuce for some "real" work last week; the city of Cannon Beach tasked me with doing some steel handrails, posts, and some other small jobs right on the beach. One of those jobs required some concrete for some galvanized steel bollards. A couple of the locations were too far away...

No, we didn't put the dummy inside for this one!

Put the deuce to work again last night at the fire department; just a short clip, but we rolled a Land Cruiser onto its roof to prepare it for extrication training. http://youtu.be/Up9ibHeFKwI

1. About 5 psi in the rear, 10 psi in the front (give or take a few psi). Lowering tire pressure makes the biggest difference out in the sand. 2. I run about 40 in the rear tandems and about 60 in the fronts. It takes roughly 30 minutes to fill back up to these pressures. 3. Yep. I...

Took the deuce out to Sand Lake over father's day weekend; my wife shot a few clips of it out on the dunes: http://youtu.be/Re_yLNgjlMM

I put together my own kit...largely using PSC components. There is a list of parts that I used earlier in this thread. I think it would still be fine in a bobber...but no firsthand experience with that one.

It handles better than with the stock steering setup; I have a load-reactive steering valve in the system so there is some "feel" in the steering wheel, but you do feel a bit disconnected from what is happening under the truck. Aside from the reduced effort, the biggest plus is the 3.5 turns...

pics of the bases that I built are at the top of the page. No suspension in the seats, but the foam is so much better than the factory stuff, that I don't miss the spring at all.

Attached are some pics of the seats installed in the deuce (took them this morning). Hard to get a good angle inside of the cab! The're still a bit dirty from my last outing... They worked out great; the side bolsters helped keep my butt firmly planted in front of the steering wheel, and the...

Latest issue of Petersen's 4x4 magazine I picked up the latest issue of Petersen's 4 wheel & off road, and there was my Deuce! Page 64...

Didn't get any good photos or video this year; my "normal" cameraman decided to back out of the trip because of work! And, there was just too much rain to get any good video footage... My wife did snap some photos of me during the cleanup this morning. Once the underside of the truck stops...

Seats! So, I've been putting up with the stock Deuce seats in my truck since day 1. I have a long-ish trip coming up this weekend, and was not looking forward to sitting on the stock seats for 14 hours. Both seats were showing wear and tear, and have always been uncomfortable. Also, I've...

This is it! Pretty simple little setup. Cheap anodized aluminum air manifold with 4 ports, a 25' air hose cut in half, a 0-120PSI gauge, a small ball valve, and some fittings. The one shown in the pic has the large bore ag-style air chucks on it for the MRAP valve stems on my truck, but I...

Just a quick update in the continuing ownership "saga" of my Deuce! My annual trip to Mudfest in Sweet Home www.themud.com is coming up in a couple of weeks. This involves a few hundred miles on the highway and a day of driving in the mud; so I typically take this time to do a fairly...

2x4x.120 rectangle tube; used it for most of the frame, sides, cab guard, etc.

I was in a Warn commercial a few years ago on Spike TV; I just never removed the decals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F652JOD7OK4

His name is Ace; he lives up here on the North Oregon coast. Not sure if he is on the SS board or not... I have video of that beast going through the mud as well...kind of a slow lumbering thing, but it was cool to watch it plow its way through the goo!

I did manage to mount up all of the tires/wheels on my deuce. They look great! Much better than the old ones did. I did the hub flip on the rear axles so that the track width is the same front and rear. I decided to paint the hub adapters in OD green and the wheels in flat black. I left the...
