Here's a picture I took last night of the steering.

The truck is put away in one of the buildings, in storage with the other vehicles, waiting for winter to get over. (you Florida guys don't know how good you got it :roll: ) Next time I'm out in that building, I'll take pictures for you.

Same principle would apply. Just bigger and heavier, build it accordingly.

It stops fine, with the 53's. No complaints with the way that it stops, other that the single cylinder, master cylinder. Every Deuce owner has that complaint though:( I do have all new brakes on the truck, so one with worn brakes, and that are also out of adjustment, would be a different story...

No, not a print. When I drew it, I laid it out on heavy card stock and cut out the shape. Then traced it on the 3/8" plate, and sheared it on the lines.

4x4 Front Lift Blocks - 4Wheel & Off-Road Magazine Not only are they a danger to you, but to everyone around you as well. What makes them so bad? It all boils down to simple physics. Whether driving off-road at high speeds or cruising down the freeway at a normal pace, your vehicle creates a...

Maybe I'm the onle one here that thinks this... but I think you are building a completely unsafe truck to be driven on the street. There's a reason that every state in this country has laws against using lift blocks in the front. Sure you welded the block/perch to the axle, but what keeps the...

Yes, I'm still running them with the 4" backspacing. I ran them this way all summer, and have no plans to change them around to the 6" side. I put about 1000 miles on it, with lift and tires installed so far, and havent had any problems with handling or bumpsteer.

Clearance under the differential = 19" Clearance under the axle tube = 24"

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't quite sure what you were getting at with the 95/5 mixture. With the Muli fuel in the Deuce, guys here tend to run about every concoction through their trucks, so I assumed it had something to do with that. I've never used 95/5 for mig welding steel. When I...

Thank you for the complement. I don't know what you mean by, "ridged or 95 5" :?:

I'll be up there in the sand with it this summer. It won't be on the 53" XZL's though. I have a set of 48x31 V-treads with 28" wide wheels for the dunes (lots of flotation) If you see it there, flag me down.:beer:

Thanks for the compliments. As for the BIG, NASTY, INTIMIDATING ROTTWEILER:roll::lol: It's the wife's little Toy Poodle. (It's like her baby) He lets us know when someone pulls onto our property. So, he does makes a good door bell, but not that great as a guard dog. He does keep the barn...

Had the Deuce out for a Sunday drive. On my way home, there's a trucking company that has a scale in the parking lot, so I drove over it, and it seems to have gained some weight. When I first bobbed the truck, it was right at 10,500#, with me in it, and a half tank of fuel. Now with the lift...

The steps on the truck measure 36" off the ground. It's a little much, especially for the wife. Today, I bent up some 1" 316 stainless tube for some drop step hoops. I made them to drop 10", and put an offset bend in them as well, to bring the step out some instead of just straight down. Now...

I'd be up to making a few sets, when time would allow me to. This is a very busy summer right now for me. Just to let you know, they won't be cheap. As there's a couple hundred pounds of material (steel prices are up) welding the brackets inside and out, uses alot of wire, around 120 holes...

I have a MllerMatic-250 mig welder in my shop. This is what I used to weld up all the brackets in this build. I run .035, ER70 wire, with 100% Carbon Dioxide for the inert gas. I've had the welder for over 10 years, ran hundreds of pounds of wire through it, and never once had a problem with...

I set some time aside today, to at least get the front shocks picked out and installed on the front axle. The shocks that were the proper length, had a stud on the top, and bolt/bushing on the bottom. I wasn't about to drop a hundred bucks or more, on a new pair of extended shocks for the...

I've been driving the Deuce with out any shocks on it, as the stock shocks are now much too short. My next step is to install shocks, front and rear. I dug through some of my old parts left over from 4x4 trucks that I had parted out, or scraped out from over the years. I found the box that...

I have no rubbing issues. The rims are 10" wide, and a two piece, bolt-together in the center design. One half of the wheel is 4" and the other is 6". I can run them ether way, with what ever of the two backspaces I choose, 4 or 6". As I currently have it right now (in the photos) I'm using...
