    Too fat to fit

    Great gut mod. Mayor Joe. Thanx for the pictures too. I wondered if that would be a mod. for us tall folks. It looks like it will make it even harder for my knees to fit under the steering wheel. Maybe this mod. with a smaller steering wheel would allow me to drive the truck like my...

    Another M37 junkie poppin' his head up...

    I want on the welcome wagon too! I'm down in the Tri-Cities. So how tall of a guy will fit into /be able to drive an M37? I got into the bigger 2.5 and 5 tons because I thought they would have more leg room. Boy was I wrong. Think about the West side rally, there are a couple of threads on...

    PNW-2010-Second Annual Chehalis River Valley MV Convoy/Camp-Out

    Go green and strap down a bicycle or a small car like a Geo, or maybe a nice antique desk. A couple of lazyboys and a 26" TV on a stand might be nice. I am gonna try this year as well. To make it worth the trip I might have to do some camping on the way or on the way back. Funny thing is...

    PNW-2010-Second Annual Chehalis River Valley MV Convoy/Camp-Out

    Hammer, Keep the trailer emply, in case there is a wounded soldier along the way. Insurance always helps keep Murphy away. Unless there is going to be a wrecker in the convoy.:mrgreen:

    Need cab heat for drive home

    I like the propane route as well, easier and cheaper if you are flying in. But you may already have a portable generator that could be bungied in the bed with ceramic heater/fan in the cab. Tape with blanket/towels and/or ratchet straps to fill/tighten gap between top and cab behind the...

    Understanding the cooling system in relataion to block heaters (video)

    Thanx greenjeepster. Informative video. Even though I had one of those thermostats in my box of spares, I never had to replace mine. A look at the internals of the system really helps. Anyone looking to get rid of one of the fuel burning coolant heater w/ circulation pump that Bjorn...

    Understanding the cooling system in relataion to block heaters (video)

    To all those that have done the 3/4" mod, and to those that have done the freeze plug mod, if it cold tonite, go ot and read the temp gage in your truck and post the outside temp and your truck temp to this thread. There should be enough empirical results out there to prove or debunk this topic...

    Understanding the cooling system in relataion to block heaters (video)

    Nice video and opinions. I am not taking either side of this hot or cold topic. I do want to pose some questions. This is my two cents. :-P Won't the water in the pump heat up to a point where the thrmostat pops open and the hot water of the pump will start mixing with the cold water of...

    Aircraft Insulation in the Deuce?

    I to am interested in a set. I just got the winterization kit (20K BTU heater) from rcflyer70, was looking at the TM for the installation, and saw pics of the cab insulation kit and was in the process of looking for one.

    switching from DOT 5 to DOT 4 brake fluid

    If you want to verify the gel-ing rumors, get some empirical results of your own. Mix a little of the two of them together and see for yourself. Then be a good guy and post up the results for the rest of us. Heck while your at it add a little of the solvents mentioned and report those results...

    engine block / pan / water heaters, road trip north Saturday

    If you can't find the heater or don't have the inclination to work out in the weather, you can always fall back to a couple of blankets over the hood or top of the block and a space heater or a couple 150 watt drop lights blow the engine shining up. Maybe a droplight or trickle charger in the...

    My Bobbed Deuce is almost done

    robr, That is a purty truck. Love the tan and the bedliner. The cluster with the names in relief is a cool touch. I will follow this thread to check out how you did your tool mounts in the bed. Yep, Per Tee [thumbzup]

    New Member from Minnesota

    Welcome and nice looking a3. I am partial to the tan/desert scheme being from sage brush & tumble weed country. Did all the stuff to the left of the truck, in pic#3, come with your new purchase?

    A Deuce with some questions.

    Congrats! on the new truck. How did she run on the drive home? Everything else looks like easy fixes. [thumbzup] Bummer I couldn't find the eating popcorn smiley, cause I am ready to sit back and watch the show when the east coasters start chiming in tomorrow on the tubular holes.

    Windshield Channel/track repair or Replacement

    So I have done a fair bit of searching and reading but have been unable to find any info on the repair or a suitable replacement for the soft top windshield channel. Found quite a few threads on the repair of the plastic strip that slips into the channel. The attached TM exploded view didn't...

    Mag Drill

    I know some of the higher priced miliwauki's at the lab had an adjustable feed rate. Same drill motor as the big 1/2 corded drills. On the grip next to the trigger there was a thumb wheel that would set max speed the trigger would pull to. The Evolution Bora 2800 that I just picked up has a...

    Getting creative with Deuce front pintle hitch

    Nice job. Is your pintle a box reciever mounted hitch? Makes it a smooth surface when not in use. Next time try a modern eqyptian pyramid building trick and use a couple 5 foot lengths of 1-1/4 schedule 40 (thick wall) pvc tubing as rollers. The wall thickness to diameter is pretty strong, and...
