I'll throw this out just to give you more options. I used this to paint my tires- it actually penetrates the rubber like a dye and does not come off. It is water-based and easy to work with. I bought it online at Miller Tire but other places carry it. It's made by Stoner.

I recently saw a presentation by a chemical engineer who formulates paints for the painting industry. Some of you may already be aware of this but it was new information for me: If the paint or primer you are using says "apply a topcoat or recoat within 1 hour or after 48 hours" they're...

What kind of paint are you using? 24087 is just the color code. Even though its not loose, if the paint is faded/ oxidized it needs to be sanded enough to remove all oxidation. I only primed areas where there was bare metal. If you skimp on the prep work, like sanding, cleaning and priming...

Another AZ member sandblasted his deuce prior to painting- he spent a long time removing sand from nooks and crannies before he could paint. Now 2 years later he's still finding sand.. everywhere.

Boots- I sanded my deuce using a 5" random orbit sander hooked to a shop vac with a HEPA filter. I wore a good face mask and only sanded enough to smooth out the paint and remove loose paint. It's not necessary to go to the metal as long as the original paint is firmly attached. It took me a...

Please vote for Woodsplinter...

Ditto! I used to fret about how the paint job looked, but actually nobody notices- it's just not that critical!

Okay folks, for everybody who votes for me I will donate $1,000 to the charity of your choice! ...any charity...your choice..That's 10 crisp Benjamin's...

Ok folks- lets keep voting for Woodsplinter ... or I will "Get under your skin" :evil: And you won't like it...

If the outer seal is loose, can gear oil get into the bearing even if the keyway is properly sealed? Or is the outer seal just to keep grease in the bearing?

Interesting- I don't know which is "right" either. I just used the same technique for tightening the front wheels because everybody I've worked with out here does so. Regarding step 5 above, I would think the wheels, when pushed & pulled, would have NO wobble. Hopefully somebody more...

I don't know either, but I just did all 4 of mine. It's similar to the front bearings. 1- Remove 8 bolts holding axle shaft flange in place, then remove axle. There is a gasket (or rtv) that may require a little persuasion to pull apart. (TM 9-2320-361-24-1, WP 147) 2- Bend up tab on retaining...

Thanks Mike- your card is in the mail! :whistle:

More reasons to vote for me:

Thanks Mike!! Here are some more pics prior to the big tire swap: Okay Folks- I'm about to reveal a secret!! Its the subject of much speculation and controversy- an urban legend that, until now, has never been confirmed to those outside of law enforcement: The "Get Out Of Jail Free" card...

Welcome from the valley!

I got it at www.millertire.com but other places sell it. It's manufactured by Stoner.

Nice rig gov'nor! Don't see many of those here in the colonies.. I'd vote for you if I weren't in this meself. :-)

If your looking to buy a deuce, don't let details like that get in the way. All the engines and trucks are basically the same- all built to the same specs. The supply is drying up!

Ok, my weak attempt at humor didn't come through. :-( Its his truck and his money and he can spend it any way he wants- just as we all can. I agree that lighting is very important to safety, especially if you live in rural areas that are dark. For those of us city dwellers its not as big an...
