mhb285 and I will try that this weekend. Thank you for your response.

Ron, Agreed regarding reading the appropriate TM. I acquired the truck with the winch in a tweaked state and am just trying to get things back on track. -Walt

Will, I wish that mhb285 and I could have gone with you this time. It looks like you guys had an absolute blast! ems4ty, Thanks for checking on mhb285 and myself before deploying. Hope you made it back safe. -Walt (a.k.a. key-largo)

I wish that I could come this time but I have another commitment that day. All of the things that I picked up last time have been put to good use. The place is a gold mine.

How many personnel are needed to safely swing the dropsides down and then back up again? What's involved in removing the dropsides all together and then replacing them?

We do as of this morning.

Will, it looks like both mhb285 and I won M105A2 trailers at the GL auction in Barstow as well today. These may come in handy for the California Rally.

Will, I believe that being more conservative on a first California High Desert Rally is a very, very good call.

Nice job, bigmike. That tailgate you picked up at the ITC Fontana boneyard run is going to make a nice addition to the vehicle.

Although for us South Orange County guys it is about 180 miles away, the Trona area or thereabouts would be interesting. The Trona area seems like its from another planet. In fact, they filmed Planet of the Apes by the Trona Pinnacles. Will, I'll PM my information.

I'd be interested in a field trip. I was wondering how much longer after the ITC Fontana run it would be before you were going to try to organize something else. My main thing would be to replace some of my deuce's tires which could easily be done in time. It would be nice to get a M105A2 as...

I work right on the Irvine/Lake Forest border. Plan on heading over to Fuddruckers right after work. Hope to see you there.

I have not adjusted them. Nor am I aware of the adjustment procedure. Is there one that I can reference?

I've had an issue recently with squeaky deuce brakes. Initially, the vehicle didn't stop that well. Upon first movement of the truck there would be some squealing. Shortly thereafter, it would quiet down. Silicon brake fluid was used to bleed and fill the brake lines. The vehicle now stops well...

It was a very worth while trip. Picked up some much needed things myself. Proud to be a recent recruit to this site. The last picture is one of me getting some bow corners.
