Instead of trying to weld up the sprag transfercase, or install a REB kit, why don'y you just dump the sprag case all togather, and swap in an air-shift case in its place?
Air-shifts go any where from $150-300. Not much money in my opinion, for all the work you won't have to do, for trying to...
This winter I picked up a good condition cargo cover for my trailer. I haven't gotten around to do anything with it till now. Turns out it has an extention sewed onto the bottom of it. I only bought the cover, I didn't get anything else with it. I attached a picture, of the actual cover that I'm...
It sure is.
I had a new battery dropped off, for the Deuce this past weekend. The Second battery should be here sometime this week. So as soon as it arrives, I'll throw them both in the truck, and test out the convoy light for you...........I mean..... I would, if I could, test the light out...

Instead of just rolling the full 55 gallon drums off the back of the truck and letting them crash directly to the ground, and hopeing for the best. Place two stacked car tires (with out rims) on the ground where the drum will fall. It'll give it a nice soft cushion, even with a 3' drop.
I had met him before, but I do not presonally know him on any level. I believe he owns, his own Diesel shop now. I think it's called Merchant Automotive.
