How hard is it to swap out the end of the winch?

Finally got around to installing my special shouldered winch bolts today. I had to make 2 trips to the hardware store since the lock washer is 9/16 and the flat washer is 1/2 inch. Got good ole American made stuff too. Passenger side went good, just removing the temp bolts and installing the...

That is the 6 digit serial number. They are a shore based tractor with the Navy or Marines. Sad thing is these came into service about 5 years after I joined the Navy and are gone already. If you can tell me which base you got it from I can call the local AIMD or MALs and see if they hung on...

I have some in SOCAL but shipping would be a killer.

RAT4SPDs was quick, but not that quick. Though it seemed like it when he was telling me how great his truck was to drive. The one he bought AFTER me and had home a month BEFORE me. His was due to some of Brandi's magic. DH - Insert snarky comment - "HERE".

Where's everyone who chimed in on "Ghost Riding the Deuce" ? :)

I love the part in the Des Moines ad that says - "It's almost impossible to get one of these stuck......." I should send him a pic of Frodo's truck.................................... :)

Letting the bidding wars (and back rooms deals) start! :)

It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

In addition to this - make SURE you have it insured if you try to drive it! Be ready for a major breakdown - have a good tow company lined up if needed. Or just pay a professional to pick it up for you.

How about a box off of an old UHaul truck? Pretty light weight. Plenty of different sizes.

Why ask why? If we started asking "Why?", I might not be able to come up with a reason for a lot of stuff I do - including buying a deuce. The brother says he needs opinions for his bug out vehicle, that's all. Lets help him build the baddest one out there! I would say drop your box on a M36...

Phil - aka BarneysZoo - has A3 rims on his bobbed deuce and they look great. I think he picked up a spare at the SOCAL Dirtbag event for 100 bucks or so.

Makes CA seem pretty friendly..........................

What's "rain" ? This is SOCAL. :) We'll see how dry it stays in there. It's under the bed so that will offer some protection. I have a rain cover from an old backpack that fits, but I don't think it will hold up to 45-50 MPH. It's still a work in progress.

More work from today -

When I brought my M109 (now M35ish) deuce home, I didn't like the headlights in the lower position. I knew I would be getting a winch someday (and I did) so on one of the hottest days of the year in July I flipped them. It was a simple matter of removing 6 nuts on each side, flipping the whole...

There is enough room to get at the nuts. The pics don't show it clearly, but there is enough space - not as much as with the rack though. Let's hope the 11 new tires the truck came with hold out. :)

The aft end of the box is supported very well I think. The forward end may indeed be the weak link. I don't plan on putting anything heavy in there - just nicely organized wrenches and screwdrivers and such. Then again, some of those wrenches are pretty heavy. Time will tell - if it doesn't...

So why are you posting about it on your computer which is made overseas or at least MOSTLY made overseas? Bottom line - it's MY money (or the wife's) and I earned it by helping provide you with freedom of speech - I'll spend my money as I see fit - sorry if it rubs you the wrong way. You...
