    So I bought a deuce

    I said that wrong... Yes we bled the airpack first. When we broke the airpack down and rebuilt it (following the directions very carefully) we noticed there was grease on the large piston, so we added some grease back on the seals and everything. was that a mistake?

    So I bought a deuce

    Got the wheel cylinders installed and replaced a cracked brake fitting. Bled the system and took it out for a spin. Stops kinda all rig. Something is still a little messed up and we don't really know where or how. It seems like the brake pedal is hard as stone to press but then if you pump it...

    So I bought a deuce

    Nevermind, we figured it out. It goes on the long springs to the 1 1/2 in cap bolt side. Rebuild the airpack and installed a new MC, invented our pressurized brake fluid pump, bled bled bled, then drove it around and NO brakes. It made noise this time, which is something it's never done (the...

    So I bought a deuce

    We were rebuilding the airpack and then this wasn't anywhere when we were finished, and we can't find it in the manual. There's a good possibility that this was in the dumpster at my warehouse and one of my awesome friends thought it would be funny to dump some random pieces of junk amongst my...

    So I bought a deuce

    I heard they did that on Xtreme. Saw the episodes and they are just as uninformative as ever! It just seemed easier to link and bag as it seems to be a huge pain to source, locate and install a front spring pack. Besides I'm going to work the truck and perhaps do the beach cruiser/swimming pool...

    So I bought a deuce

    We're thinking making the bed 8' (seen with the green tape measure). We will move the axle back maybe another foot or so. We will do a 4 link on some semi truck airbags using some Ballistic 3" joints probably. I have a buddy with a CNC plasma so we will be making all of our brackets and such.

    So I bought a deuce

    We pulled the old MC out and it was full of rusty goo, so we decided to err on the side of caution and bought a new one. It should be here tomorrow. It looks like it had been replaced before because it was painted red. I also got an airpack rebuild kit and 4 new cylinders. Once we get the thing...

    So I bought a deuce

    And I don't know what to......haha I joined a couple of years ago and have been poking around a little bit and the opportunity finally presented itself to get one. A couple buddies of mine went to pick up a truck from getting inspection and I saw a deuce in the guy's yard. We went and talked...

    Stopping in to say hi

    That's another dilemma. I might have to settle for towing it, or just go a single rear wheel and don't cut it down as much. I don't know yet.

    Stopping in to say hi

    I have been sifting through the forum looking for info on the bob. If anyone knows a quick link that has someone's build up I certainly would appreciate it. I have also been reading the manuals. I love military manuals. The reading level is amusing. I have been looking all over for some deals...

    Stopping in to say hi

    I names Charlie and I'm from Chesapeake, VA. I have decided that owning a bobbed M35 is something that must happen in my life. The plan is to finish 1-toning my Jeep and then start on a deuce-n-a-half. Where should I get started?
