I realized that after not posting for a while that I had never given the details on how, when or why I got my Deuce. Those facts are bland and uninteresting but after owning my Deuce for some time now I have come to realize the freak of a truck I have. I expect a lot of ridicule for how i have...

I myself am guilty of running the truck at 70 MPH. Did it when I first picked up the truck. Since the backlight on the gauges didn't worjk and it was dark I was trying to keep it around 2500-2600 but after two hours into the trrip I found myself floating around 3000. I think I have a freak...

The 2.5 Ton and 5 Ton designation are in reference to the truck frame payload capabilities. When the designations of 1/2 Ton, 3/4 Ton and 1 Ton were first used it was to directly refer the trucks payload capacity. As trucks became bigger they needed larger designation and thus as their payload...

That would be nice... I plan on joining the MVPA but keep forgetting when home. My connection at work doesn't allow it. YAY for working for a government contractor... *sigh*

It also depends on just how far one wishes to drive their vehicle to said rally. I was just curious to know the total number of people within a 50 mile radius of the Metroplex, that own Deuces or any FMV for that matter.

Fairly new to the fold and figured it would be a good resource. Fixed... ;)

Not to thread jack but there are a bunch of Jeepers hitting trails this Saturday night. i got invited and if any other FMV peeps wanna join. PM me.

I'm curious as to why a full list hasn't been compiled for FMV owners in this glorious state. I have used the search and member search function and although I could personally compile a list... Why not just add your name? RiktorD - Fort Worth, Texas

Welcome and in two weeks I will FINALLY be swapping over the mains to my Super Singles. I am in South Fort Worth if you're wanting to help.

Quick question since it was mentioned mutltiple times in this thread. Why not start in second? Older trucks I have driven have a low first like the deuce known as a crawler gear and are generally only used when pulling a load or when "ghost riding" to allow for constant movement, such as when...

My multifuel just ticked over 70k... I'll let you know when/if it goes.

WAR HOG... The bus we had before was going to be named WAR HOG but it never became legal and never got tagged so the name passed on to the Deuce.

I recently had a relay issue that was traced back to the ground terminal on the relay itself. The design had an aluminum "cup" bolted to the top of the relay and thus grounding the internal relay to its outer shell. I disassmbled this design and ran a 14 gauge wire to the firewall. I have yet...

I've designed an build composite shells for automotive racing as well as one peice hulls for boats. Although wood is a simple medium i have moved from it and found that aluminum and far more versitile especially considering is degredation and corrosion resistance is far greater than wood. Not...

Wood is used in the process of building the plug or the mold you never use mood in the final product unless youre making a ****ed boat. Aluminum strips or bars molded into a frame for the final fiberglass product should yeild enough strength for all the critical points such as hinges, latchs...

Flame thrower FTW

There were individual bulbs on Ebay a little over a month ago for around $80 a piece. I knew i should have jumped on them but didn't realize the total cost difference. They were probably cheap ass chinese knock-offs anyways.

Not necessarily expensive if you know how to work with wood. Sure doing a Metal plug or foam plug can get expensive but wood is a cheap and reliable alternative if you have a dry place to work. A chopper gun can be quiet effective if you have a plug and mold to compress the chop afterwards or...

So you're saying it not propane?

Let me know as well... Been wanting to get the deuce a bouncing on some stuff.
