the part of the hook that is supposed to provide spring force is broekn off of most of mine - they still work with alittle more effort.

probably just flipped the whole framework between the sides.

you can see in this picture that he just spun the doors around backwards (swapped sides) http://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=275821&d=1316402647

thats a deuce for ya - sound slike your shelter and gear totals about 3000 lbs

if the lights dim then it means the alternator isn't providing juice and it is running off of battery power only. this can be an alternator problem or a wiring/grounding problem.

checked the net quickly but didn't see a ready source for these. trade secret? or care to pass along a source? I have a 150 amp alternator i plan to install for my 5kw inverter, but want to get the battery bank figured out first.

injecting water right before the turbo will damage the turbine blades. They will start to pit rather quickly.

based on the thread form back in ~2009? wiht M35Tom; I get the impression that not all the spring perches are the same as his shim flip resulted in only +4* caster (measured with a magnetic guage)

that dog makes the deuce look like its the size of a regular pickup

you can always install a strap to set the max height for the seat. I'm 6'3" so i'm familiar with the issue.

all the things you did were good - but i didn't see any mention of modifying the spring perch (caster adjustment) some say you can flip them others (gringletaub) show a simple modification to grind out some material from inside the thicker side of the wedge to correct the caster for radial...

dismounted a couple of 395's that weren't seated and took on a ton of water in the hurricane. drained the water out of the tires then remounted and ether seated them. love those 2 piece rims.

why 7? these aren't something that you'd leave bolted to the wheels. it would stay on the hubs. yeah one machinist posted in this thread - I'll have to dig up the info of the one who made my set who is likely closer to you.

local volunteer fire chief has my number incase he needs me to help - we lucked out and barely got anything in MD so he didn't need to call this time.

lots of people bob the deuce and get custom drive shafts done - no reason the tranfer case couldn't be moved back at the same time.

I stumbled on a nice replacement option and figured that I would update this thread with it. available all over ebay - search "24v flashing buzzer" it does both and probably not quite as anoying as the stock buzzer.

do you have more information on that updated front axle seal?
