    Deuce double rescue - NO PICS

    I got you on SPEED DIAL my friend and I would have called if my dumb azz would have stuck the little 2 1/2 ton.

    Deuce double rescue - NO PICS

    Just returned from pulling out two stuck vehicles with the deuce. No one had a camera and it was pouring rain and dark anyway. Let me set the stage: We are on our 5th day of rain here. The area has hills and dirt and gravity. Some of the roads lead into those hills and they turn to chit real...

    I would say we should just lock it now that Rat has his Christmas present, but I was thinking of editing the 1st post with a list of post numbers that actually include useful information.

    Scouts get New Deuces

    I also use the deuce to teach the auto maint merit badge. The boys love it. They put on coveralls and we crawl all over and under it. Then we compare it to my 2008 GMC to see how things have changed and stayed the same. Of course that's only after I go through about three hours of...

    Scouts get New Deuces

    I FILL the bed of my deuce every year (including straw bales down the center) for the Christmas parade. Other than that, I don't allow them back there for anything. At our local camp I use it as my tent (parked right next to the bathrooms). When we need the Scout trailer (converted, donated...

    #1. It doesn't get below 75 here. #2. This just arrived yesterday - Tennier Industries Modular Sleep System | 8465014456274 | Uncle Sam's Retail Outlet Rat laughed at me because he got his for free. Of course he had to join the Army (which got it's azz kicked by NAVY) to get it. No electric...

    Converting to dual alternators

    Um, I guess I'm back on with the alt. If you look back around page 3-5 you'll see pics of it INSTALLED. So, yeah, I'm leaning that way. The reason the winch isn't installed in the bed is because I'm still having back pain and Soldier B is doing court ordered time with his birth mom for...

    Converting to dual alternators

    IF I were to use just a battery and a solar panel (we all know by now that I'm long past that) and IF the battery died before I could load all 3 ATVs I would simply - drive the big ATV up the ramps in 4 x 4. Turn it around in the bed (PITA to do BTW) and send it's winch to bring up the other...

    Dog, this thread has been so hijacked that we won't be able to find it with lo jack! And in all seriousness (is that still allowed?) dual alts look kewl.

    Converting to dual alternators

    I just got back from Mark's (aka 100Dollarman aka Hundy) and we talked for about three minutes on this subject. Mark has and has had a lot of wild 4 x 4s and buggies and Jeeps and Rock crawlers, etc, etc. It was his Jeep and winch that did most of the work rescuing WW's truck from deep in the...

    I should have just went with a PTO driven gen set and be done with it. No additional batteries. No Harry Potter, no trains, just chitloads of money.

    The Deuce as my backup generator

    The repair shop trucks had a PTO gen set to run the welder I think. Not sure if they would put out the power you need though.

    NorthStar PTO Generator — 13,000 Watt, 24 HP Required | PTO Generators | Northern Tool + Equipment Lmk if it works. You should be able to mount it underneath somehow.

    The Deuce as my backup generator

    PTO generator. Mount it under the truck. Northern Tool has one that will do what you want but probably costs more than you paid for the deuce.

    Scouts get New Deuces

    We have a trailer that the charter didn't want to get involved with so it's registered to the troop. I checked with my insurance agent and they say it's ok for me to tow it with my civy truck. The local venture crew that just folded was chartered by a different organization but they still gave...

    I like to think DIRTBAG is a lot like what a Blackwater Inc party after hours in Iraq must be like.

    Are they owned by the troop or charter? My deuce is claimed by the troop right up until it's time to spend $. :D

    Nothing is outlawed at DIRTBAG. Even the stuff that is outlawed in Cali is legal at DIRTBAG.
