Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

[akonitony]

Man, you should have went with the rotty story, people would think the truck is that much more massive. From that distance, who can tell?
Oh, and tell your dog I do not mean to insult his intelligence. I have rottys and I know they are not nearly as smart as poodles. Now there would be an interesting mix -a poodle and rottweiler. I guess you would call it a rottle or a pooweiler?

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.

I must commend your fabrication skills here I have to agree with Chaplain it looks beautiful and also agree I think your number of tool boxes is darned impressive. I am looking very forward to seeing the pics as it progresses and after completion, you certainaly have a very nice start to the project!

Your fab work is great, I like how you made it ridged. Are you going to the mounds thanksgiving? I also hope mine turns out as nice as yours. Have you ever tried 95 5 for your gas?

Thank you for the complement.

I don't know what you mean by, "ridged or 95 5"

I think it's supposed to be "rigid" and a 95/5 fuel mixture, although I don't know 95/5 of what and what.

Please do post when you will be at silver lake... I plan to make a couple trips out there this coming summer. It would be awesome to see your deuce out there.

I meant 95/5 Gas for your welder, argon/co2. I thought since you new the specific grade of hot role you were using, you might have been a fabricator or prototype guy. Just wanted to know if you had a specific reason for using strait co2 that's all.

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 bought my welder it came with a bottle of 75/25. After running a few bottles of the c25 through it, I switched to straight, 100% carbon dioxide for the inert gas. In my shop here at home, the only metal that I weld with my mig welder is A36 steel, and the 100% co2 welds just fine for me. As to why I switched... co2 is very inexpensive, compaired to an Argon mix.

 

[jsaulter]

Ya I've herd a lot of welders tell me that the 95/5 is much better. Personally I don't see a difference except that it costs that much more. Thanks for your input.

Dumb ? but what would be achived by this?

 

[rustyg]

Hi Ridgerunner,

I would be interested in getting a price from you for a set of the 8'' just like you made for your truck, I wouldnt
mind a price on the steering components as well. I really like what you have done there, looks awesome!
I'm on the lookout for my first deuce and I'm considering a full length, single rear axle, with lift on 53's

Thanks!

[ruthless79]

That thing is huge. How much ground clearence do you have under the axles on the 53's?
