    Fort Drum auction

    As far as the lights are concerned be careful!! I found out with my truck some PFC decided to skimp on work and make a bridge to complete a circuit but not replace the three-way or the harness like he should have! He was more interested in the weekend pass than a safe truck. I still need a...

    Chunked tire

    I had a cap peel on the M197A1 converter 10 miles from home. I gave my wife whom was following directly behind me a bit of a scare and it took a piece of the Interceptor grille with it! The guy behind her must have needed to change his shorts judging by the way he drove all over the road...

    Diablo Build Update (pics)

    I'm glad I just have a Deuce and am only getting a five-ton LDS! I love the look of Pitz's, but I suspect would not hold up to my use (er, um, abuse).

    How Tall ?

    Mine probably doesn't count since she's a 109 with heavy modifications. However, she's 11' 6" to the top of the stack and 11' 3" to the top of the box.

    Choosing your first Deuce...what would you do?

    2Deuce, I won 'Storm from GL before they went nuts with the prices. GL is under investigation from the DoD about this practice. The very fact they are under investigation tells me (as a journalist) they have done somethings shady and gained someone's attention way up the food chain. I used...

    HELP - Parking Brake adjustment problem

    I have a new spring on the outer shoe that is VERY stiff due to the newness. However, there seems to be some slop in the connections where the inner and outer shoes connect together. The zerks shoot lube into the joints easily and plenty of goo squirts out. Perhaps the pins holding the...

    HELP - Parking Brake adjustment problem

    Well all, I have a slightly different problem with my P/B. I have the lever, not the adjusting knob style. I've tried adjusting the top shoe with the top bolt, the nut on the cable end and have no real success. I've lubed everything and all parts move freely. However, when I tighten down...

    Choosing your first Deuce...what would you do?

    Big Mike; I had a very unique experience in selecting my Deuce. I have over 1.5 million miles of driving experience plus an in-depth working knowlege of trucks from my grandpa. So I had more at my disposal than most first timers. The lack of an SF-97 is an obstacle that need not be except...

    On the road to Iowa

    In the middle (which is still there) includes two military ramps, a Deuce fuel tank with mounting brackets, a Deuce battery box with hangers and all, a front bumper with brackets for a winch (the brackets are for 'Storm) and a hard top in need of some TLC along with a bunch of rotted wood and a...

    On the road to Iowa

    Actually the arctic windshield worked just fine. All I did was open the rear split windows in the hard top and roll down the driver side window and I was just fine with all the cross drafts. I just finished working on the TD6. I have a guy rebuilding the generator and starter for less than...

    On the road to Iowa

    Thanks Mike! I'm getting breakfast and getting on the road before the storms to the north get and further south. It's sunny and I'd prefer to drive with the sun than the rain. See y'all when I get home! BTW, I was in the middle where it's the worst and missed one of the support beams by...
