    M101A1 sp-97 California DMV

    Pick a manufacturer and a year, stamp it on the data plate then fill out the SF 97 form with that info so that everything matches. You will need the SF 97 form and a verification at the DMV. If nothing matches then you'll have to get a CHP inspection also.

    Camp Dirtbag IV in So Cal

    Miltoy, are you in the Lake LA area? I remember a few years back a goat was stolen out of there and joyriddden out in the desert. It was recovered and reunited with its owner. Would love to take a ride in one.

    M101A1 vs M101A2

    I almost bought a surge coupler for mine while at the scrap yard a few weeks back. They had a few laying around. Then I thought about having to swap the axle and adding brake lines etc and decided to scrap the idea. I think its just a bolt on replacement.

    will deuce run on oil mixed with nitro?

    I would say run it. I'm sure its not the same "nitro" but I dumped a gallon of R/C car "nitro" in my tank that was mixed with WMO, ATF and diesel.

    new diesel smog laws in california

    When I titled my bobbed duece I did it as historical so there were'nt any weight declarations. I bobbed it first before registering it so there was no changing of the classification from 3 axle to 2 axle. My last truck had 3 axles and I originally registered it the regular (commercial) way and...

    Turbo blown

    At least there are no missing pieces that got sucked up into the intake! Throw a new turbo on and run it, should be ok.

    All you A3 Wheel Guys! Who is using the Issue Rubber Beadlock?

    Got my seals here. BEARINGS & SEALS Great service!! Still using the stock valve stem pipes, just used a 3/8" brass 90 degree elbow with regular automotive valve stems, looks a little funny but I couldnt figure out a better alternative.

    All you A3 Wheel Guys! Who is using the Issue Rubber Beadlock?

    One of my wheels leaks down to almost nothing after a few days (doesnt even register on the guage) and the tire does not look flat but just really low. I have the factory bead locks in all 4 wheels. I just bought 4 new O-rings and plan on replacing them all when I get new tires. One of my wheels...

    deuce power steering kit

    It is only a little easier in tight parking lots with the air assist. I paid $1300 for mine but it came with a good running winch truck attached to it. No way I would pay more than a few hundred dollars for a kit otherwise. It does sound cool when manuevering around but quickly drains the air...

    Sarge rides again!

    Sorry to hijack but Heckler, I have one that I will be listing on Ebay shortly, just waiting to complete the Registration and get the pink slip, its only a 250 though, not 650 like Sarge's.

    Bobbed deuce mpg

    I just checked mine on about 180 mile round trip and only got 9mpg running at max rpm 95% of the time (which is about 62 mph with 14.5's). I'm sure if I slowed down to 55 it would improve a bit.

    Air o matic power steering

    When I got my current truck with the air assist, there was a shut off valve on the firewall that was turned off. There also needs to be at least 60 psi before the safety valve will open allowing the air assist to work.

    Anyone want to sell their bobbed deuce??

    M35A2 Keyed door locks?

    AV Truck and in Equipment has them or at least they used to. The shaft needs to be cut down a little and it needs a coat of spray paint to get rid of the chrome. Their number is 661 945-6788. I think it was about $20 per handle.

    Bobbing my Deuce

    The bolts are 3/4", 14" long from end to end, 2 3/4" space in between the bolts if that makes sense.

    Built me a towbar

    Good looking towbar. They are an added piece of mind in case of a breakdown, you can call a friend instead of an expensive tow company. It will more than pay for itself after the first use. You can cut out a couple of pieces of steel in a smaller diameter on the lunette and weld them on each...
