Hey Franz, don't let 'em get ya down. Do it howyalike. I'm a newbie too. I plan on painting my Deuce OD green, then putting on a gloss clear coat. I want to find some chrome baby moons to put on too. And I'm going to replace the wood on the seats with oak and polyurethane it. That may get...

I wouldn't rent a furniture blanket from Uhaul, let alone a vehicle. They have some of the worst maintained equipment ever, driven by amateur drivers. I'd rent from anybody else. But I'd vote for putting the car in the bed.

I think the easiest way (barring having some heavy equipment) is to use 4x4 cribbing and bottle jacks. I have a couple of 8 ton bottle jacks that come in very handy. What exactly are you planning to do once you take it off? If you are going to do work on it, you can jack it up and leave it on...

Well I went and looked at it today, think I'm gonna get myself a deuce. It's got a lot of surface rust, but only a couple of spots on the bed and one fender are gonna need patched. It's got some body damage where the owners "friends" backed into a big tree. The bed and tailgate are bent...

OK, so got a line on a running duece at a VERY good price, of course no title. It's owned by a guy who is at least the second owner but I don't know if there's an SF-97 (?) for it yet. I'm gonna go take a look at it next week. The story is it runs good, body is decent, has a leaking master...

Stay safe over there! Hopefully they won't burn all them tires like they did to stuff in Iraq. aua

This should be obvious but, use two chocks, or if you only have one place it between duals or on the downhill side of the tires. I've seen lots of guys in the military just throw a chock down not paying any attention to which way is downhill. And don't forget to pick it up before ya take off!

That's fine if you keep your deuce in a labratory. :roll:

Uh, NO!!! You cannot use any water or liquid for an electrical fire. Distilled water for fire suppression is ONLY used in specialized high pressure (5000psi) fog systems for electronic equipment, ie, computer main frames. Once the electric is shut off and de-energized, you have a class A, B...

The Buffalo's are specialty vehicles, so most guys won't get to be in one. Out of curiosity, did everyone have their safety belts on in the Caiman? The MaxxPros seem to have a lot of stuff inside to get hurt.

MP deuces most likely never have flashing lights or a siren on them, too slow to pull anything over. Depending on MTOE, it's conceivable that they could have a ring mount for a crew served weapon, most likely a .50cal or M60. We had a 5 ton in Iraq and a ring mount, but it was never used as...

Sounds like it would work to me, the only question is if the exhaust fumes would be a problem for the bees. Don't know if you would have them in the hives while transporting or how long of a ride they'd have. Just a thought.

It looks great except for the bumper numbers, what a crappy outfit!! :lol: (I just got back from a deployment with the 585th! ) What paint did you use? That's about the color I was thinking I'd paint a duece, kinda has that old retro look to it, I like it a lot, and I'd agree that the stars...

You could also put in some trays behind the bumper outside of the frame on both sides, and have a diamond plate lid. Any decent small shop ought to be able to fab up some boxes for you relatively cheap.

I haven't been in the smaller MRAP's, but for practical usage, the Caiman is the preferred truck in Iraq. (Although they've all been pulled to go to Afghanistan) They have a better turning radius than the RG's, the smoothest ride as well. The back compartment is much easier to put cargo in...

Just look online for a place that sells safety equipment or a place like Graingers, they should have a generic mount that will work. You definitely don't want that bouncing off your head in an accident, or accidentally discharging. Or for a cheapo mount, saw an appropriate sized piece of...

Ya gotta go were there's more tractors than cars! We have some deed restrictions, but they're reasonable, I'm technically in a subdivision but I have enough land to be called a farm. They don't mess with you much where I am.

On a bike absolutely.

Nice story! Heck that truck probably hasn't had more than 3-4 fillups at the pump. You probably even got original fuel in that thing!:D

Time for you to buy some acres out in the boonies. :-D
