    Question regarding Deuce tires

    I'm not sure what your plans are and I'm sure I'll get a bunch of calls that "That's BS" but if you plan on keeping the rears as duals you MAY have a problem with the G177 radials rubbing on the trunion cap bolts. I had one truck where that was the case, several others that they never rubbed...

    Shelf life of DOT 5

    Dot-5 As long as the cap is on it should last for longer than you and I will ever be around. Since its silicone it doesn't attract moisture but once the cap is off there's no telling what else could end up in there. I've used DOT-5 in new un-opened cans with dates all the way back to the 1970's...

    First Deuce, and cross state recovery

    First Deuce Congratulations! That is one very nice looking Deuce. You couldn't have picked a nicer guy to buy your truck from. I've known Pete from PCTrans now for about a year and a half and he is a great guy. In fact, had I known him before I got my first truck I probably would have bought it...

    Hard top gunner cutout

    Hard Top Gun ring I did a mod to my truck I'm very happy with. All the holes I've seen on US Army trucks were exactly 30" across which is much larger than a standard 55gal drum. I got two sheets of 1/8" Diamond Plate and cut them into a 34" square. I then cut a 30" circle out of the center...

    GA Rally participants check in

    Safe at home Steve (engineersta050) and I just got back to Jacksonville at 2030. No major issues. Blew the outer tire on the middle axle passneger's side about 15 miles from the house. Steve's Robo-impact wrench with the slave connector made the tire change a breeze, under 5 minutes. Great...

    Jax insanity Dave08, I bought a hardtop wo/w 9 months ago at Ft Jackson for $1500, went through it all and fired up and drove it home. Not a even an inkling of rust anywhere to be found on the truck (even the bed).... Alas, I was ignorant and got it for a parts truck and tore it all apart...

    Jax insanity Yeah, I know about the bobber movement, I also understand scrap value, I've scrapped a couple trucks and even after I sold off everything I could off the trucks I've never come close to $3500. I mean the axles go like hotcakes for $1300 and the hard tops for another 4-500ish but...

    Jacksonville Fl GL Deuces - Has the world gone mad?

    Seriously, WTF?! Is there something I don't know about? I mean I previewed them and all, and there were some decent ones (decent but not a whole lot better) but even the dogs went high. $3K + for a hardtop wo/w with major rust issues? Did Saddam hide his pallets of cash in the air tanks...
