    Oil up a rag and wipe the rest of the paint. Makes it turn a darker color and fades the oil spots to match the rest.

    deuce tire questions.. READ PLEASE :)

    Not sure I have ever seen a bobbed deuce with the tandem axle setup left. Might be interesting to watch the build. I think that if the rear axle has a long enough slip yoke and does not hit the frame / cross member it would work.

    Wreck waiting to happen M944A1 recovery

    When we left the base the ruts on the service road was making the 33,000 pound truck move side to side. That is when I let Charlie, my neighbor, steer the truck.

    Well I took on the task of a M944A1 recover for reb87 from Ft. Hood. The pic’s on GL showed drivers fender damage. The GL guy said that they used a forklift to unload and we assumed the damage was caused by that. I get there and discover the damage was from a front end wreck. Kind of looks...

    Not A STUD anymore

    Now this F***ing sucks.......... Will 3 bolts hold the turbo on? I used the torch to hear the manifold and I thought the stud was turning and then snap. Drilled it but was a little of and the ease out snaped the manifold.

    Mushroom Clamp Use

    Pull the mushroom out as far as it will go. Open the side panal and tilt the mushroom about 45 degrees and it will come off the rest of the way and come out of the side panal. None of my clamps are tight and one is rusted stuck.

    Deleting topics?

    I think it is best that the Mod’s be the ones to delete posts after replies. On another board a member got his feelings hurt and deleted years worth of posts that had a lot of really good information that everyone could use.

    Not A STUD anymore

    Well it is a stud but only half a stud. I am looking for ideas on the best way to get it out. Should have used the heat wrench on the nut like I had planed.

    They keep the rear sides of the drop side bed supported so they don't try to fold in / out.
