Well, it's been close to a month, and I gotta say I love this truck.
The looks I get are priceless. I love how everyone stops to take a second look, the four-wheelers give you a respective nod, and even the law slows down to rubber-neck.
After spending some time behind the wheel (including...
Good looking trucks! I especially like that first one, seeing as how it's sitting beside my garage as we speak. Strong runner, and the Air-o-matic was a nice surprise!
RE: Turn of motor before turning off battery switch
Did any answer to the generator question arise? I am curious to this as well... I think my generator is out and I don't wanna fry another if that is the case.
Sounds like you're excited about it. It's an addiction... that's for sure. I've been a deuce owner for less than a month, and I already want another! Where in TN are you?
After driving some tonight, I've noticed a couple things:
1. Parking brake needs adjusted in a major kind of way! Won't hold at all!
2. I've got some oil dripping from somewhere on the left side of the engine. It's not major, but it's enough to make me wonder if I've got a leak somewhere. Oil...
Re: RE: Finally...
I'm shooting for Vietnam-era OD Forest Green (997b perhaps?) with the white star/unit markings. Cab will get some sound insulation, but will remain mostly stock. I'm going to add a 12V system for trailer brakes and some in-cab accessories. Then possibly a khaki canvas...
My lovely wife actually agreed without hesitation.
She's pregnant (our first), and is due to give birth in about a month. As soon as she recovers, she plans to take it to the mall to go shopping for a day... you know, just because. She's always wanted an H2 *shudder* and when she saw how big...
I like the rollback on that International... that divot looks like it saves the front of the bed from a lot of dings!
Good looking trucks! Looks like they really kept them in great shape up there. Any problems with rust on the frame or anything?
I bought Mike/Rob's deuce for sale from the Classifieds section this past weekend. MAN this thing is a strong runner! I went the entire way home (roughly 330 miles) practically without downshifting out of 5th! I figured I'd have to pop it down into 4th for some of VA's hills, but this thing...
Looking for dual-voltage for a Deuce. Just an idea as an opportunity close to home has popped up following me not getting anything at Smyrna. I definitely want to go with a dual system eventually, but weighing options vs. dual alternators and fabbing mounts. Mainly wanting 12 & 24 for trailer...
I apologize... I don't know what made me think they were in the CUCV?
Perhaps just blatant ignorance. :lol:
Thanks guys! I will keep an eye out on Ebay for one soon.
I've been searching for the alternator in the CUCV, and I can't seem to find it...
I've looked through saturn, memphis, and just about every other surplus site I could think of.
Can you get them in the civvie market?
Re: RE: Thinking About Getting a Deuce. Couple questions...
Didn't realize I was on thin ice, I apologize. :(
I figured I'd post that only because it had no bids on it; however, the auction closed at 7:00 this evening anyways.
Well, I'm back in the game... I figure, when is the chance going to come up again for me to get one in this condition, with this kind of miles, this close to home for this price.
I'm going up, and the executive branch (aka wife) has given me the go-ahead.
Besides, I finally got paid...
Wow this is discouraging. Every lot I bid on, I'm outbid by the SAME FRIGGIN' PERSON!
I hate corporations that take this out of the hands of the enthusiasts. Probably going to Mexico or some other national government that has never done anything to help the us. :roll:
