Thanks for the info. :beer:

I see it says that this controller is for "Disc Brakes". Are the brakes on the trailer disc or drum??

This is what I am talking about. The wiper on the left is from Erik's website. (the ones I ordered) The one on the right is the old blade I took off my deuce. *saturnsurplus.com had the ones similar to what i took off my deuce but they were sold out.

I did plenty of searching prior to both posts and none of the threads I came across answered my question. The only way I found that old post was by searching and when I posted in that thread, the sub-category seemed weird, that thread was the only one in there. I left it for a day or two and...

So I tried doing a search but the one thread I found went to a dead link or possibly to the old site or something. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/mechanical-upgrades/8151-new-wiper-blades.html Anyway, I noticed that there are two different styles of mounting loops on the 10" wiper blades. I need...

Does anyone happen to have an updated link for post #2? I need to order some wiper blades but noticed that there are two different mounting loops on them. Will either set work?

Well what I was trying to get away from is having to have a big drop receiver. These hitch platforms were designed and rated for zero to 2" drop receivers. Over that and their tow rating drops with every inch the receiver does. A big drop receiver will only act as a lever to start to twist that...

I am definitely not trying to become a millionaire off this. It would just make it easier for me to nest a full sheet of parts for the laser rather than just one or two. I figured around 200 to 250 plus shipping.

So I have been searching for a receiver platform for the deuce that was to my liking and still affordable. Couldn't really find one that I liked so I designed one so I could make it happen. Some of the things I wanted were to have it tucked just under the pintle, high enough to maintain the...

CARNAC: with some help from wsucougarx I was able to locate the VIN info on my deuce from the previous owner asking you. (its in my signature) I noticed the usage miles was 16197 is original miles?? Is that the original total miles? I noticed many other VINs you checked have significantly higher...

NICE! I can see the fender damage now, they sure did a good job straightening that one out! So I guess Migz didn't own it long and the guy I bought it from bought it from him in January of this year, and now me. Already 3 civilian owners since the Military. Good to know that the previous...

Thanks guys. For now I would like to swap out to 395's, leaving it 6x6. Then hopefully in the spring start work on making it a Mega Cab and swap out the soft top for a hard top. I think I will try to make it to a meeting and at least see what you guys are all about.

I will have to check. I really didn't notice, I was caught up in the excitement of driving it and day dreaming of my plans for it.

Dang that is crazy! Yeah the driver was SGT Turner, the decals are still on the windshield and the original title date was Oct 2008!

So I finally got my Deuce today! Its a 67 Kaiser Jeep came with the M105 also. The nice thing about the truck is that it had already been titled, registered and insured, making it super easy for me! I still have much to learn about my new toy, but what I do know, it has the 478 multi-fuel and a...
