Installed my "Curt" class V hitch this weekend on my bobbed duece. Very simple installation with only minor trimming. Took less then an hour.
I just reserved two ARB Air Locker for my Bobbed Deuce. They are on the boat comming from "Down Under" where ARB's factory is located, and should have hit Seattle last Friday. It will take a couple of weeks to get from port, to distribution, and then to the vendors shelves. I talked with ARB...
I have a `59 Reo Gasser.
I've completed the "bob," the 16-20 tires are are getting mounted right now, and a wrecked dump truck will hit the yard next week giving me a rebuilt motor, power steering, and AC.
Yea, but the one thing that these businesses need to realize is that people like me don't need their product. I'll do with out befor dealing with a jerk. Plus with the internet, I can make a quick google search, and find the same product from some one that would love to take my money from me.
I should receive my wheels next week from Boyce Equipment. $290 each for 12 x 20's. I ordered them less then a month ago.
I've spent quite a bit of money with Boyce setting up my bobed duce, and I can't say enough good about them. I ordered everything to rebuild the wheel hubs and brakes for...
Does any one know where I can get a socket to remove the inner lug nut/stud from the rear wheels of my Duce? I believe they call these "Bud Wheels." I saw one for sale on this site a while back, and should have bought it, but didn't. Now I need one, and can't find anyone on line that carries...
I have a `59 Reo that I just finished bobing. The first question I have is should I keep the OA 331 gas engine, or swap out for a diesel? I don't know anything about this particular engine, and I don't know if it is worth spending the time and money on. Second question is if I do keep this old...
Hey guys, I'm working in Springerville right now, and get to Phx. every couple of months. Where can I find these places?
I've just finished bobbing my duce, and any help you all could give me would be greatly appreciated
RE: Re: RE: Duece front U bolts needed ASAP!!
I work in Heavy Industry. Hardware almost NEVER fails. People fail the hardware. When hardware is designed for a specific application, all the variable are taken into consideration. ie, shock loading, point loading, lateral and axial stress...
OMG!
S.L.U.T. HAS MY VOTE!!!!!
Hey honey! I'm going out to play with the S.L.U.T.!
I'm going into town. I have to do something about that filthy S.L.U.T..
My buddy took his S.L.U.T. out last night, and tore her up.
Man, you got the...
RE: Latest update
LOOKS GREAT!
The weight of the bed flattened out that front rake you had going.
Are you planning on putting on bigger tires, or running what you have?
Have you done any engine mod's?
A 0.93:1 gear ratio means for every 0.93 rotations of the input shaft you get 1.00 rotation on the output shaft. The number designations follow the drive line path. So, a 0.93:1 ratio increases the speed. For the output shaft to be slower then the input shaft you would see a larger number first...
A friend of mine does the "Mud Drag racing" thing. He set his truck up so the front tires spin faster then the rear. He said this helped pull through the mud instead of pushing, and it improved his steering. Just food for thought.
My reason for wanting to do a 5 toner is because of the longer engine compartment. I'm a horse power junky, and bigger motors mean more ponies. I would love to do one with either a v10 or v12. Just looking to build the biggest, baddest machine on the street.
The problem I was having with my...
