    DirtBag Fall 2011 ???

    Complaints? Did we even have a Sunday alarm clock? If so you should STEP IT UP next time to something I can hear. :-P

    DirtBag Fall 2011 ???

    Was the white chute and payload ever found? The pilot and bombardier spent a long time looking for it when they arrived in camp. I told the pilot it was a shame that he went to all the trouble to get a plane, make such a perfect drop and then have to drive out there and look for it himself...

    DirtBag Fall 2011 ???

    In addition to all of that - My group heard a "noise" and saw a large black, round object fly through the air outside of camp. My friend commented that someone had just launched a basketball somehow. I turned to him and said - "Brother, this is DIRTBAG! That was a BOWLING BALL, minimum." It...

    DirtBag Fall 2011 ???

    Last 20 miles home was pretty rough, the rear main is dumping oil on the clutch. Couple cans of brake cleaner and easy driving got us in the driveway.

    DirtBag Fall 2011 ???

    At the airport picking up my son in law. He might get the distance award flying in from the USS Nimitz in WA. He's tasked with driving the little truck/pick up camper and towing our teams pop up camper. My daughter is expecting my grand daughter just before Thanksgiving and she's already...

    Deuce Loading Ramps?

    Can't get pics for a day or two. I'm loaded for Dirtbag and the ramps are tucked under the quads. I'll try to remember to get a pic of them in action and upload when we return.

    Deuce Loading Ramps?

    I use 2 x 8s that are cut just an inch shorter than the bed. Then I beefed them up at Rat4Spd's suggestion with a 8 foot 2 x 4 centered underneath. I used some skinny stakes place across every 8 inches to make treads for traction. I drive the bigger ones up or winch them up with an ATV winch...

    DirtBag Fall 2011 ???

    Mostly loaded and ready. Just need to clean and stock the camper and pick the son in law up at the airport. Looking forward to a great time, it's been a year.

    Can a deuce be driven as a front wheel drive?

    Yeah, I had power steering. I was kind of a scary trip. Acted very different.

    Can a deuce be driven as a front wheel drive?

    I drove my 72 Blazer like that once. I had to make a parts run to fix the rear U joint and I had nothing else at home to drive. Got pretty squirrelly a few times.

    Deuce Tailgate Crane

    I mounted a Warn ATV winch on top of the forward wall of the bed and use it to winch my ATVs inside. Just got loaded up for Dirtbag about ten minutes ago. I use that winch to load the two big ATVs and then use the winch mounted on my bigger ATV to pull up the third ride. I could use the wall...

    DirtBag Fall 2011 ???

    Finished the PMS checklist and 1/3 of the loading. There's a LOT of grease zerts on a deuce and M105! I paid extra close attention to the dog bones, but just in case I loaded two spares. I just need to do a shakedown run to the gas station and spend my kids college money filling up the truck...

    DirtBag Fall 2011 ???

    How much do you have left to do? I have some time this week I can come over and help. If you can't get it fixed is there anything you need hauled out? My crew is headed out Thursday. You're also welcome to use anything of ours you need - cooking gear, BBQ, fridge, etc. LMK

    Design flaws? Torque rod, split rims?

    And you KNOW this because your cousin Tony works at that GL lot or you have a video feed from that lot or someone from GL told you that? GL moves trucks with forklifts all the time. Faster than jumping, push starting, etc, etc and actually driving them to the next spot. The pics you posted...

    Design flaws? Torque rod, split rims?

    This site has MANY cases of documented torque rod failures. How many of them have documented catastrophic failures?
