I like that one better as well. Since I will need to replace the MDF in mine at some point I think I will do something more like Bill W did. Always room for improvement!

So far I am really happy with the 315/75R16 Duratracs on my F350. I originally had BFG AT's (295/75R16) that lasted for an amazing 63,770 miles. I liked the BFG's but I wanted a bigger tire with a slightly more aggressive tread. They both pick up small rocks but it seems that the Duratracs...

Here is what I did to hold group 27 batteries in my deuce: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?43467-Deuce-Battery-Box-Mods&highlight= One thing I would change is to use treated plywood or some other more moisture resistant material instead of the MDF that I used. Over time it has...

My wonderful wife gave me a new deuce steering wheel (18" A3 style) and seat covers for Christmas. :jumpin: Now I'm anxious to install them. I need to come up with a steering wheel remover. I bid on one but lost so I need to find one or use one of the alternative methods I've seen discussed...

Here is a post showing the setup I use on my F350 4x4: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?79670-Pintle-Riser-Plate-Safety&p=1011097&viewfull=1#post1011097 Here are more pictures from the recovery of my M105A2 without the lunette flipped...

M35A3 Brush Truck On First Run We finally finished our M35A3 brush truck and put it in service a few days ago. Today I took it on its first call. We had a house fire. We were able to contain the fire to one room but there was extensive smoke damage throughout the rest of the house. Very sad...

For the third year in a row my daughter and I took the deuce to get a Christmas tree. What a fun tradition! :mrgreen: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?61275-Christmas-Tree-Recovery&p=720225&viewfull=1#post720225...

It looks like the rain just won't let up down here in time for me to make the trip today. :-( Have a great time and be sure to take pictures.

I may not be able to make it depending on the weather. I spent all day on the j-pipe and ran out of time to do any pre-trip prep on the deuce. If the rain moves through early enough tomorrow I will try to make it.

Well, I finally have the new j-pipe installed. I cut out a 2" section and welded the pipe back together and then it fit. But the fun didn't end there! I got everything repainted, bolted back up and then went to put the stack on. Would you believe that the flanged end was too small for the...

Yes, I should know to be more specific in my requests :grin: When my daughter was about 3 we were getting ready to go somewhere and we told her to go find her shoes. She leaves and comes back in a minute without her shoes. When questioned about why she did not do as told, we were informed...

Did you cut out a section in the straight portion of the pipe or at the bend near the flange?

It is looking like I will have to take it to a muffler shop and see if they can cut a small section out and re-weld it. Here are a couple more pictures.

I ordered it through another SS member but I'm not sure who the actual vendor was. I have seen this type of welded pipe from other vendors so I didn't think much about it until trying to install it today. Here are a couple: M35A2 Exhaust J-Pipe, 11677088...

I had trouble even getting the pipe in place since it was touching the frame near the firewall while sliding it up into place. The original pipe came out without a problem. Here are some pictures:

I just attempted to install a new j-pipe and ran into a problem. The new pipe is one of the newer ones that has welded sections instead of one continuous pipe. Well, after having issues getting the pipe in place I compared it to the original and they are a little different. The end that goes...

I have not found a tarp for my m116a2 yet so I used polycarbonate corrugated roofing panels to provide some protection for now. You would probably need some type of trim on the front and back edges to protect the tarp but this should provide support and would not rot. Here is a link to my...

Installed my new LED Headlights.

I plan to be there. I had a great time last year.

After we got our M35A3 tanker in service the pump failed. Since we obtained an M916A1 that will be much better as a tanker, we decided to turn the M35A3 into a brush truck. We removed one of the 600 gallon tanks and created a caged area at the front of the bed for personnel to stand while...
