Hey, I saw three of them like in your pic no. 5 yesterday while driving back to El Paso from Killeen. Two at Cooper's BBQ in Junction, TX, and one on I-10 eastbound just west of Junction. You had me laughing when I got to the wasps in your story. Glad it all worked out.

As for getting stuck in sand (I'm not a mudder), if you have bead locks and supersingles, I think you really have to work at getting stuck if aired down. I use my trucks a lot in deep sugar sand and have not stuck one yet. On my deuce, I originally had the stock NDT and that was not too good. I...

Very cool idea!!

I have fictitious numbers on my deuce same as John. (Serve as a license plate, reg. as FMV in TX) I have been in several parades (mostly Veteran's Day parades) with that one. The only problem I have had is with uninformed LEO's pulling me over to question the lack of plates/registration...

I say YES. The suggestion to look at the wreckers does not help as they are fed from different PTO's/pumps.

I have found that the solenoids on the A2's require FULL battery voltage to pull in (in addition to moving freely/lube). If they do not pull in, you can manually push it in with power on and it will stay, than you can start the truck. This has happened to me on two trucks and with a new...

Ah yes, the old hot rodding trick of swapping out engines with more power. When we would send a plane to Top Gun or Red Flag, our squadron would swap in the two most powerful engines out of all of the airframes we had at VMFAT-101. And we usually had 30 or so planes to choose from (largest...

A professional tint place should easily be able to knock that out without much extra effort compared to having the window out. These are not like modern cars or trucks where part of the glass that needs tinting remains below the window sill. Not worth the trouble in my opinion.

Looks good. I would mention, you should check or change the cable on the winch to new if the old one looks at all iffy. These tires are much heavier than the dinky 9.00 x 20's. The part where the cable attaches to the bottom bracket that lifts the tires is where the cable gets most questionable...

Cool to see F-4's still flying as they are one of my favorite a/c!

You can scroll down on this page to see more threads on the subject. I initially had 46's on stock wheels and had that problem. I had the front wheels widened to the outside by three inches and solved the rubbing problem that way. I eventually went with MRAP wheels on Peashooters adapter plates...

You should only need to take one off cap unless it has a locker in the front (unlikely).

That M923 looks very familiar. I think it followed me home once.

Quote: "THANKS ALL. I guess I should be on the most interesting man in the world commercial with the way I have to be tracked." Naw, as mentioned before, more like Santa with a load of goodies for the good little boys and girls. Quote: "BTW does TEXAS have HOG CROSSING warning signs? Seen...

Quote: "Given enough thrust, even a 2x4 will fly." That is the principle behind the F-4 Phantom. I had been assigned "wheels watch" when I was in the service. You were stationed out at the end of the active runway, within 100 yards of where most planes touched down. I saw all manner of planes...

CARNAC is back home.

I could be of some help from ELP to Temple since I have family currently living in Killeen and we are there often. CARNAC tends to run the I-10 or I-20 corridors.

But just barely.

Nice. I'm really liking the two classics in front of the 936, but that just might be because I already have a 936.

That is a constant velocity (CV) joint like what is on modern front-wheel drive cars and 4x4s with independent front suspension. It definitely needs a boot, more so than a U-joint.
