    Video test

    Sorry, we just don't have the endless resources google has for things like youtube.

    Can we upload videos given advanced technology and changing times?

    That is a concession I've made here. Given how people video in 4K and what not, the amount of space that would use could quickly make our database and system file size grow way larger than the giant size it already is. Also the post processing needed to downsize videos would mean additional...

    Windshield inner seals, does anyone sell them?

    I'm going to rebuild one of the windows. The other is already urethaned in place. But the other with the broken glass had a original seal in it. I've been searching, but I haven't found anyone that has them for sale? I guess if that's the case I'll just seal these in like the other. But I...

    Door and windshield glass measurements

    Edit: See post https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/door-and-windshield-glass-measurements.211852/post-2477393 for the measurements. Does anyone know the door glass measurements needed to replace the glass in the doors of a deuce? (I'd measure it myself, but my truck is over at a friends...

    Are all good trucks gone?

    The dispersal of trucks through the system is cyclic in nature. From what I've seen it starts with some not great trucks that sell for stupid money being the first out. To lots of great trucks that will sell for less. Then towards the end, you get the last bits they had to literally drag in...

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    I started reading that, but it's a rather lengthy document. Is there a part in there that states from the government that the brake diaphragms and/or cans have to be replaced every year?

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    Forgot to post this yesterday, but my hydromax booster came in. Happened to have a plate that matched two of the mounting holes and had a large opening for the pushrod. Just had to drill two holes and now I have a reinforcement plate to install it. The feed side of hydraulics uses a odd fitting...

    Patracy's deuce refresh and upgrade

    The cab is pretty good shape. The only rust is in the very tail end of one side of the bed.

    Patracy's deuce refresh and upgrade

    While it cost a grand to have it blasted. After messing around for several days, it was money well spent IMO. The problem now is that I'm watching auctions for a 180+ cfm air compressor. Because I want to get @Spot_ll a sideline gig going lol.

    Funny. I'm happy to see it not have 7 layers of flaking paint.

    Dunno. I have 1/4 hardline here. I replaced the rear hardline with 1/4 on mine this week. Was planning to just run 1/4.

    HEMTT Rim, Breaking loose the bead. No beadlock. Ideas to make this a smoother process.

    Duck bill hammer works better than trying to force the bead down from the rim by pressing on the sidewalls. The duck bill wedges itself between the bead and rim lip in a more parallel manner than prying outside from the lip. The interior bead lip also tends to pivot inward when you try prying...

    Yes, we have the same MC save for the resv. Use a bubble flare there instead of a inverted flare.
