    What Are Velcro Strips for on my Deuce?

    I had a truck recently in the yard (M109) that had velcro alongside the bed and fenders located (and sized) just right for placing the rectangular red/white reflectors specified by the FMVCSA for commercial trucks these days... I figured that somebody wanted to make the rig more visible when...

    A question for people with M37 and bobbed deuce.

    I don't have a bobbed duece so I can't really make the comparison that is asked however I have several M37's and M35's and have looked at (and driven) several bob jobs that friends have... I really like the fact that my M37's can get into a standard size parking space and that the bed is low...

    Lookin for 11.00r20 michelins

    I like those Firestones. Drove a truck (M109) that had them mounted on it recently. They look like a copy of the Michelin XZL tread pattern but with a harder rubber compound (or at least it seemed like a harder compound based on the ride charactaristics). FWIW: I've been getting my...

    Haspin Food

    I'm sticking this in it's own thread right now just so that it doesn't get mired in all the other info about the rally... I'm still planning on cooking... We had talked about having everyone Paypal me funds before the event so that I would have cash to go shopping, but since Paypal charges a...

    needed: detailed pics of convoy light installation

    It's the same as an ignition switch so, hopefully, finding a good used one want be that hard for you. The "usual suspects" also have then new in stock. Don't forget that the "by the book" instalation pulls power from the dimmer switch so that you can't turn them on without having the...
