    Got my deuce! and got it stuck within 30 minutes of picking it up LOL

    Thanks, that video explains it perfectly. Knowing that and a trip to lowes or home depot and it probably wouldnt have even cost me $100 to get it out. BTW I figured out my winch trouble, it was just the shear pin. I never heard it pop or anything though.

    Got my deuce! and got it stuck within 30 minutes of picking it up LOL

    I wish somebody had gotten a picture or video of the bank, I climbed to get back on the road after they pulled me out. It was so steep my brother and the guy with the blazer couldn't walk up it and had to go around. The tow truck drivers pulled around to watch and said it was the coolest thing...

    Got my deuce! and got it stuck within 30 minutes of picking it up LOL

    Wow, thats in there for sure. Thanks, that was actually one of the sites I found google searching for synthetic winch cable so its good to hear some feedback on it. It may be expensive but you can't put a price on your life if the wire cable was to break and luck wasn't on your side. I...

    Got my deuce! and got it stuck within 30 minutes of picking it up LOL

    I searched on the site aswell as on google and found nothing pertaining to the winch cable. Thanks for the smart ass respone though... I'm definitely going to get a couple 6X6's and some chain for future offroading. Yeah Henry's wanted $500 to winch me out, I LOL'd and told them there was no...

    Got my deuce! and got it stuck within 30 minutes of picking it up LOL

    I'll check it out. Is there any good writeups I can use as a reference for checking it out? I need to replace the cable regardless though. Has anybody tried any of the synthetic winch cable on these?

    Got my deuce! and got it stuck within 30 minutes of picking it up LOL

    At first it would reverse and it pulled some then it stopped working all together. It won't do forward or reverse, I'm going to mess with it tomorrow and see if I can figure out what the problem is. Thanks, that's good advice, how do you go about chaining them to the tires though? Yeah I'm...

    Got my deuce! and got it stuck within 30 minutes of picking it up LOL

    Well I went today to DMV this morning to take care of the title work, and then headed to Warrenton to pick it up. I decided on the way back I would hit a local mud hole so I had my brother drop my F250 in a court close by and hop in. We started down the powerlines and it was handling the mud...

    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    Nice truck, this thread isn't making me want singles any less. I just paid for my deuce yesterday and picked up the title. This is going to be an expensive addiction.

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    I'd suggest giving Don a call. He had a few vehicles up for grabs when I talked to him. I'm buying my M35 from another member but as soon as my cobra sells I'm probably going to pick up a M818 from him.

    Questions about lights and super singles

    Thanks for the advice, I already got the reverse lights taken care of though. I ordered 4 KC daylighter 24v flood lights 2 of which I'm going to use for reverse light and 2 I'm going to mount to the bumper. I had initially ordered 6 but I called and changed 2 to long range lights and ordered 2...

    Questions about lights and super singles

    Thanks but I'm going to use 24V bulbs, it has caused harm to electrical systems, not just burning up bulbs. Yes Virginia requires them for vehicles after 1969 even if it didn't originally come with them. Even though I'm registering with antique tags I can still be pulled over and ticketed and...

    Questions about lights and super singles

    Ok, so I guess I can use just about any 12V light setup out there. What do you guys typically use? Military Marker Clearance Light Amber - eBay (item 190514534377 end time Mar-27-11 11:49:11 PDT) Any idea where I could get like 10 of those? That would take care of the side marker lights and...

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    Yeah I'm going to pass through the weigh stations from now on just to cover my butt even in my F250. It seems like its a real grey area here in VA, but better to be safe than sorry. I've always wanted to pass through them but I've always worried I'd get in trouble for going through if I wasn't...

    Questions about register M35 in VA

    Yes but the prices he quoted me over the phone for mirrors that were on his site for $15 each he quoted $50 each over the phone. I'm not looking for the best deal, I would happily pay a little extra to get parts from a reputable company that has good customer service, but I'm not going to pay...
