Well... 2 days of beating and welding and here we have the intake... Need to find a 3" mushroom vs the 4" deuce one were using. Still needs grinding and finishing but so far so good...

Closing up for the night....

Well, back to the grind... I have most of the cab body work done now after sandblasting... If this is looking a little backwards it’s because we’re trying to leave the front clip intact as long as possible.... which isn’t going to last MUCH longer! So basically at this point the cab rearward...

Click the link... No bolts... Easily found at Napa, Advanced, etc... I suggest using locktite (blue) as well.

IIG ... The nice thing about these is when you open them up your covering as much as you possibly can with a single radio... being that you have dual antenna mounts on the truck and can have 2 antennas, toss in the tuner and your set. Repeater function for talk abouts... and if you had to you...

Yeah I strongly recommend that you DON'T convert the truck to 12V... You get into the "one off" category and will have zero help when you need it. Problems are to be expected with a 20 something year old truck. I would say 75% of the electrical issues with CUCV's are OWNER INFLICTED problems...

Also check the starter... Had the same problem with mine and it left Kenny stranded a few times. Turned out the starter rear was falling off the nose cone assy. Installed a gear reducted unit and man are they NICE!

Well the color is dead on... The paint is Sherwin Williams Genius line of automotive paint (urethane). If you ever want to use it expect about a weeks wait for a store to get it in… It’s a flat "hotrod" base mixed to the CARC 383 Green color... After all the work I did on the deuce and the money...

Mine... So beer isn't a factor unlike Morgans!!! LOL Hummm sounds a LOT like a certain website admin I know!!! On the other hand, the GF wants a 09 so if anyone is selling one let me know. You go play with your 5 tons bub! How bout a kiss and a hug too? According to Gimp I'm in the...

Man.... the abuse... Ok so your not Office Space fans!!! (that movie is one of the greatest of all times!) Here is a few more pics! Inside sandblasted, epoxy primer and bedliner sprayed... Going to pick up the paint now... Should see some color by monday in various places!

Anyone want to start a pool on how long devilman can leave the suspension alone?:twisted: No... No... No... and no! I've already done 360's in traffic with this truck twice... Me like'a the current height... Me no like'a rolling it! Dman, i have a parts truck that i could cut those cab...

Instigator!!!

Nope... its a done deal... New project... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=27571

The above mentioned button/switch thingo will bypass it all but still may not fix the problem. Many things like oil weight, IP condition, laging starters, etc can affect starting conditions so if the plugs are actually cycling (use multi meter, check voltage to plugs, dont guess) if you have...

Wow... I got a phone call about this thread pointing out exactly how bad it is... Geesh... Guys this isn't that hard!!! Do NOT center tap a battery... dont... that plan and simple!!! CAN YOU? yes... Are you a mental midget for doing it... YES! Leave it alone PERIOD! Explination... batteries...

IMHO... That is the absolute WORST thing anyone can do to a CUCV... How many hundreds of postings are there about "I converted my truck to 12V and now its broke and no one can help me fit it" ... leave well enough alone. These systems are SO SIMPLE to work on... All one needs to do is pick up...

Pic marked up and sent... Sweet! That will save me a heap of work trying to recreate parts! On the support system... Yeah kinda... Kenny (damn him) gave me the idea of running rails up the side windows to put in a tool rack and somewhere to mount the highlift inside... Being that the windows...

33 10.5 15 stock, stock..

Forget brushes... You better get some high output alternators, those poor things are only rated for 80 -100 amps.

Military Radio Setup (RT-524 based) .. 706 covers much much much more. underhood-mounted welder setup (a lot of offroaders have this setup) Not a off roader... Zero room under the hood when Im done. Hi-Lift jack mount/dual fuel can mount/spare tire mount (exterior) 5 jerry cans / tire on...
