    Page messing up?

    Don't know if it is just me or not but a few times today i get a cobbled up black picture on my screen that covered some of the forum. It looks like large pixels, and almost like a video is trying to pop up or something of that nature. Like I said it could be my computer but thought I would let...

    Recommendations for Paint, Underbody Long Term Fire/Rescue Use

    Here is a pdf to some info about ALK. AUE is the newer verson of it and is better in some applications. I dont know what automotive stores you have over there but here we use baxters. Anyone who sells PPG should carry the ALK/AUE line since it is a ppg product. All the colors can be custom mixed...

    Recommendations for Paint, Underbody Long Term Fire/Rescue Use

    Rhino lining is a great idea for the bottom but if you have a tight budget try a product called raptor. Its around $120 for a six bottle kit and the gun is around 20 bucks. six bottles should be enough for the bottom of the cab. we usually prep by a good cleaning and sanding with 80 grit. As for...

    This weekend and today I managed to patch the holes I cut and also fixed the hinge. I will no longer have to purchase one thankfully! Also finished up the new nut plates for the door and all the small little projects that i needed to do in the drivers door jam. I ended up re drilling the hinges...

    best gear oil for deuce

    I have not changed all my fluids yet but i do agree with this statement. We changed my fathers rear diff to synthetic and added anti slip and it was horrible.... went to normal oil and worked great. basically it was too slick for his amount of torque. I can definitely see where this could come...

    1100x20 G177s on a Deuce...

    I think those are what I'm going to go with on mine. The xmls look awesome but alot of work and money compared to just putting these on the old rims. Looks sweet and I'm glad to hear there is a noticeable difference. Are yours gov liq? or did you buy new?

    Ricks Deuce build

    These stupid plates kicked my butt today. The drill bits i needed where MIA or broke, had to make a few trips around town finding parts which we all know sucks up the time :cry: I ended up being able to keep the upper plate in (didnt have much of a choice it turns out). The bottom plate ate two...

    Ricks Deuce build

    they would probably work but I wanted to open up and remove those plates. Im going to upgrade to grade 8 nuts and bolts and hopefully a bit bigger too. If i where going to keep the OEM stuff i think that would really be my only option haha. Thanks for the input though!

    Ricks Deuce build

    Attempted to remove the drivers door today to no avail. The nuts on the door pin broke off. Long story short broke a hinge trying to get the pins out even with heat, penetrating oil and alot of muscle. All but 2 bolts broke off on the nut plates for the hinges where they mount to the truck :cry...

    Deuce driving tips

    A few tips I learned from driving the fire trucks are the Captain (co pilot in this case) should help with lane changes and pulling out on to roads. Sounds dumb I know but when in a big red truck with lights people do really really stupid things and its not much different in green iron. So my...
