    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I finally added a boost and pyro gauge, the truck had a max egt of 900 degrees at the stock fuel setting while running 395 size tires. Next I bypassed the fdc, and now have seen a max egt of 1150 degrees uphill. I also setup my jeep to accept a medium towbar, but still need to make towing...

    11.00 ndcc / ndt

    What is the story on those front hubs? I have never seen caps look like that. I wish I did 11.00 size on my deuce instead of the 395's.... Oh well maybe next time. Looks good!

    bobbed Deuce with 395 /85 R20 tire question

    I had wandering issues and vibration issues. Re set my toe, and dropped the air psi from 90 to 55 psi. This helped a lot, next I will try changing the caster In the front axle.

    Can MRAP wheels be mounted "deep dish" style without flipping hubs?

    I installed my rears dish out (24 bolt aluminum mrap) and I had clearance issues with the brake drum nuts and the 24 rim bolts. I clocked the rims to a different hole on the wheel studs and repeated until the nuts on the rim and the nuts on the brake drum cleared each other. If you run dish out...

    When is someone going to bob a HET?

    I would love to own a het. But here In Southern California, it's just too much of a liability being on the road.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    My next deuce will have 11.00 size. Lucky for me my 818 is getting 16.00, so I can swap the old tires onto a deuce.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I love the look of the 395's but since I put them on my deuce, I'm seeing some ill handling differences now. Anyone have real world advise on whether or not it's worth changing the front caster to 4 degrees? Other than that all I can do is adjust tire pressure and install air o matic on the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    i installed the 395's on my deuce, and found out I need to flip the rear hubs. Running dish out with mraps, I cannot check the rear tire pressure due to the rim being so close to the brake drum. Another thing, the socket head bolts will contact the brake drum nuts if you don't clock the rim so...

    395/85r20 mraps tire rub issues

    I am just waiting on a shipment of 1" bolts. Then I will be putting on my new rims and tires. So I articulated the rear suspension today, checking how far from the bed the tires get. With stock 9.00 ndt tires, I have about 1 1/2 inches of clearance before the tire rubs the bottom of the bed. So...

    When to Engage Front Wheel Drive

    You can be moving any speed, just make sure your off the throttle when engaging or disengaging front axle. I take my deuce out in the dunes near baker ca, and have never had a issue engaging and disengaging front axle while in and out of soft sand. It's best to use it only when you need it and...

    1987 M35A2C Fuel Filters Change

    I changed my fuel filters on the deuce. Before cranking I let the lift pump cycle for 2 or 3 minutes to fill the filters back up. Crank and fired right up no problem.

    I am looking to get a M923A2 in CA and need to know how to register one.

    I pay a lot more than that per truck for just liability with a $300,000 injury policy

    Bobtail Offroad Capability

    For the op, try and get a ride in a bobber and try and get in a 6x6 and decide what is better for you. That is the best way to figure out what works best for you. The only other thing is your imagination and your wallet....
