I drove my Deuce to work every day for the last few days & this morning, the actuator arm for the electric wipers dropped down in my face when I hit a big bump. Looking further after stopping, the joint that fastens both arms together had wallowed out & no longer holds the assembly together. So...

I bought new rifle holder kits so that when the weather cools off & quits raining; there can be some new military rifle holders added to the cabs interior. When the coyotes start howling, I can go get some target practice in. Beats putting them in the rear window on a a standard horizontal...
