I am working on gravel, too. A few ideas come to mind. You can make a "protector" for the spindle threads out of a short piece of PVC pipe. Cut that piece open lengthwise and remove a strip, leaving you with a 3/4 circle that you can snap over the spindle. Then you can pull the brake drum all...

Well, that's still over 500 miles per year! They do like to be taken out for exercise once in a while. What's an UOS gearbox?

Could you post some pics of your setup? That is interesting.

FWIW, I replaced the dog bone ends with the Heim type joints (Erik's surplus) and the rear end is way less jumpy than it was with the rubber encased OEM type joints. I run 11.00-20 radials, at 65 psi in the rear. Here is the thread with a link to the "gringeltaube" mod...

Classifieds...guy in Cincinatti selling takeout trannys....

One would need the A3 engine side panel too, correct? It is shorter? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Glad you made it home! Unspectacular is perfectly ok! Sent from my SM-T560NU using Tapatalk

I "commuted" in my Deuce a few times. From a rural area into the city, about 50 km (30 miles) one way. CAN it do it? Yes. Is it stressful? YES. First off, you are a slowpoke, no matter how you turn it. You are slower than most commuter (and commercial) traffic, everybody is in a hurry and...

Pinging for trail updates!

That trunnion is solid steel, I think! Yes, putting 2 or 3 conduits in the boxed frame sounds like a smart move to make future add-ons much easier.

I would pull the tank off the truck. It is easy to do. Disconnect the electrical connection, disconnect fuel supply and return line and vent line, remove two bolts from the tank straps and slide it out! I would take the fuel sending unit and the in-tank pump out. That gives you a big hole to...

Shooting brake cleaner up through the fording hole in generous quantities also helps the clutch to live a little longer to get you home.

Old gasket: When you look at the gap between block and head 6 tabs are sticking out. They are designed to let the gasket "vent". Oil can leak from there (it is intended to allow overpressure to vent off instead of blowing the gasket). The fire rings are separate (not that you could see that with...

No I sent a couple emails...never got an answer. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

So, the yellow one started as a naturally aspirated multifuel that was "turboed " at some point. That large turbo is off an LDS465-1A. It is impressive, but the D-turbo (the smaller non whistler) is more effective. I'd look at the casting forward and below of the data plate for the TD letters...

Did not take long to get fuel forward! And she runs beautifully!

I wonder if pulling the truck backwards with another vehicle (clutch depressed) would have the same effect. It would turn the wheels, turn the transfer case, turn the PTO and turn the winch drive shaft?

So you got the suspension done? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

When you look at the PTO output from the front, it turns clockwise to winch in, counterclockwise to winch out. Do not hammer the winch clutch, do not hammer the shear pin. There is tension on these parts. Depress the clutch with engine off, and turn the winch driveshaft with a breaker bar...

The main reason for using the stock filter base is to be able to return to stock condition easily. No reason to not use a commercial base/filter combo instead. I am curious to know what the Forest Service did on the secondary filter side. Did they perhaps put two spin ons in series to create...
