Subbed. I'm looking forward to seeing how this project pans out. It's very interesting, there was an overlanding YT'er who did his M109 and it was pretty cool. Had a three part video series on his and the build process. It was quite cool to say the least.
That's good news! Make sure to check your wires on the temp gauge. When mine quit, I bought a new gauge and sending unit and it still didn't work. The wire ended up being broken internally and there was no way of seeing it. I just happened to find out when I ran a wire bypassing the one that...
I think having the extra tanks to carry more fuel is a good idea. Yeah it's nice to be able to turn a valve or flip a switch and keep going, for me, I just carried wmo mixed with gas in some drums with a hand pump and/air transfer pump, fuel was already filtered as I use specific drums only for...
My horn took a 💩. Made the button in the steering wheel fry up. Upon replacing the button, I checked the TM's. Had power to the horn, and whenever it was all hooked up, massive short at the button. I replaced the solenoid and bam, I got my horn back! Imo, sucks not having a horn, especially when...
Looks like the system never seen a day of maintenance! Glad to hear you got it running, it's amazing the IP still worked with all that gunk in the system!
Welcome to the site! Imo, it's a good community here. Congrats on the new to you truck. These deuce and a half a are definitely some capable machines when put to work. Don't forget, you can download the TM'S here which is like a Hanes manual if you remember those, definitely worth having imo. If...
That truck looks pretty darn nice! Even has the crane on the back which I don't see very often.
I wouldn't change much, maybe replace the old weatherstripping with new and fill some gaps to cut down on some drafts. That's the thing with these trucks, they will be hot or cold, the rain will seep...
Makes sense and yeah, I was heavily distracted reading the last few posts due to my son acting like a terrorist so I'm sure I missed some stuff, but thanks for clarifying, lol. I don't think you'll have any issues selling it, I think there was someone that posted not long ago looking for a deuce 🤷.
I got laughed at by my brother and sister in-law when they asked me about my kit and why I have so much stuff. They didn't think I'd ever need any of it. Road side assistance is always available they said. I was sure to throw it in their face when that crazy winter storm hit Texas last year and...
I think it all just depends on how much you really want to plan for and what size of kit you want to build. First things first, medical should be at the top of the list. It may not be the first thing or something you won't ever use off road, but it only takes that one time for an accident to...
