I like the K.I.S.S. method. See my build thread post #291 here for getting rid of the Cummins 6BT shutdown solenoid and using the factory deuce pull cable to shut off the engine. See my build thread post #301 here for adding a $7 blast gate valve to the inlet of the turbocharger to shutdown a...

So what'd she weigh? 13,000 lbs?

Attended my first parade today! Went out to the Veteran's Day Parade in Port Allen, LA. Flag pole mount had no issues with the drive over at 55 mph. I put the American flag on at the rally point a mile from the parade route. Winds peaked at 15-20 mph brief gusts. No issues. Everybody loved...

I only plan on fording if it's an emergency. There is a lot of maintenance required after fun with water crossings. I'll let the younger fellers do that.

I was getting a slow transfer case leak due to over pressure, and the 1/4" OD poly tubing was starting to get a capillary action of slowly sending gear oil towards the front of the deuce. Maybe connecting the tubing for all 4 of the vents to a header at the top of the deuce airbox created a...

Todd, I had originally used a 90 degree elbow from Lowe's that had 1/8" NPT to thread into the axle housing, and 1/4" compression fitting for the crappy tubing that I pulled off and threw away. I simply threw away the nut and ferrule and slid the hose over the compression threads. I would...

Finished a flag pole mount on 10/31/15 in preparation for 2 Veteran's Day parades this weekend. The parade today was cancelled. Better weather tomorrow so the parade may still go on! Jump right to the post about the flag pole mount installation on my build thread: CLICK HERE.

On 10/31/15 my buddy John and I completed a flag pole mount for my deuce to use during parades. John opted for a pipe coupling he had laying around the shop instead of using the cast coupling I purchased from Lowe's. After trimming the black iron pipe to length we used the cut off piece to...

I made the video below for adjusting my M35A2 injection pump. I didn't have to adjust anything else. Make sure you have a boost gauge and an exhaust gas temperature gauge (EGT aka pyrometer) so you don't melt a piston. It ran awesome! I sold the engine/transmission and now I run a Cummins...

Walker parade officials left me a voicemail this afternoon stating the parade tomorrow is cancelled. So come out to the Port Allen parade on Sunday! Tons of jeep people will be there.

Uhm... 90% chance of rain around 2pm. Not looking good. I'm already signed up for the Veterans Day Parade in Port Allen for Sunday. Would any of you be interested in that if Walker is rained out?

They wouldn't want to deputize me because I'd probably use a tazer on somebody within the first hour. :D

My ex bro-in-law would go down to the local 4wd hangout on the weekends and watch the big trucks play by the creek in the sand. He had a small 4wd Ranger. When one of the heavy trucks would get stuck they would approach him to get them out. He'd mention a price (case of beer), but if it...

My local sheriff's department tried to pull that crap with me. I asked if they would perform maintenance after the deep water rescue. Negative. I asked if I would be compensated for fuel. Negative. I asked if I would be the driver. Negative. So I told them to get a boat. They got a...

Got a flag pole mount completed. Woo who!

The 24 hour cure that you found for Lizard Skin is the time between the 2 different systems that they have (not between coats). If you opt for both systems you spray the sound deadener down first, then wait 24 hours before applying the ceramic insulation. If you are spraying either system...

I guess I didn't get around to taking pics of the new brake lines when I installed the disc brake kit. The lines looked somewhat like the ones I had completed back for the bob job. See this post for information on the company I ordered them from. Very fast turnaround. They made my lines the...

Today I completed new breathers for the front/rear axles. It turns out the 1/4" OD tubing was too small that I used in my original DIY fording kit when I had the multifuel engine. This time I went with 3/8" ID reinforced tubing. I ran the rear breather to an overall height of 6 ft, and the...

I run that same alternator and love it!

It's been raining too bleeping much. :shrugs:
