Gimp, the frame was reinforced for a plow. That is long gone and the factory bumper is going back on. I am running a rebuilt stock engine.

Rounding third base almost finished.

Here's a link to some of his military vehicle adventures, he had a true passion for military vehicles. I would have never owned one had it not been for him.NY-TACTICAL

This happened a few weeks back July 30th to be exact, IRWFO aka Jerry Pomato was struck and killed on his motorcycle on the Long Island Expressway. RIP brother.

Here's some video to show you how exciting flat towing is, just take your time and keep on your toes. We never went over 45 mph, I'm not sure what the top speed is to safely tow but 45 seemed to safe.

It was about the same thickness and seemed a little denser than the old stuff, I dont have any pics but it did look a heck of a lot nicer than the sun faded dry rotted stuff that was crumbling off the top. You need at least 3 sleeping mats to do the 2 parts of the top. Pick yourself some nice...

I replaced mine with a GI roll out sleeping mat, just scrape off the old junk and wire wheel the remaining glue. Get yourself some good contact cement and glue the new stuff in. I left the mat rolled out for a couple of days before I put it in, if you use a heat gun on the back side of the foam...

Thats good advise doghead, I did see blobs of it around the base of the compressor.

I hate paying for other peoples mistakes Blue RTV=SOB :-x

Well you just hit on the head FMJ, I pulled the compressor apart and found RTV blocking the passage. Amazingly it ran this way for about 1000 miles or so since I owned it.

I pulled my bad compressor off today only to discover its guts puked out into the engine. Whats the best way to flush the engine out of the 1000 tiny pieces of metal that I am sure made its way into the oil? It also looks like the compressor was bone dry of oil, how can I tell if the oil is...

I have the same problem Jim, they didnt even stamp the serial number just put the new plate on and sent her on the way.

If this failier continues I will switch to a soft top, the hardware cost me about the same. There is nothing like taking a ride in a convertable Deuce to the beverage barn :-D
