We had a great time, Andy. Thanks for inviting us. We made it home about 2:45 and immediately made my self a nice cold Green Isaac's Special and retired to the back porch. Currently sitting here in the shade with my favorite dogs.

We're leaving Canton about 10:30 and should arrive about 11:30. We'll see you there.

I just re-read the thread here and need to confirm that the lunch is at 12:00 noon on SATURDAY, right? I'm definitely planning on being there, especially since my Florida trip was just postponed so I don't even have to rush around trying to make my schedule work. I might even have time to wash...

I'll take a couple of the good tires and tubes for sure. Maybe the tires on wheels.

Saturday the 14th or Sunday the 15th? I think I can make it on Saturday.

Sounds to me like you're hitting all the usual trouble spots and taking care of business. The wiring on the deuce is actually fairly simple after a bit of study on what goes where. There's a couple of leaks on the transfer case and transmission that are common and hard to stop. The...

Assuming your lights are regular bulbs and not LEDs, open them all up and check for corrosion, broken wires, or bad bulbs. Mine had some issues with corrosion that caused intermittent grounding problems. The turn signals would work sometimes and sometimes not. I also had the flasher unit fail...

From the looks of that mud and considering that you were dragging the front axle on the ground, you were doomed in that mud hole anyway you cut it. Front axle engaged, low range and 2nd gear would have gotten further, but you would have just been stuck that much deeper. The deuce can do well...

Brand new or take offs?

Very sad news. I had only started getting to know Matt over the past couple of rally's. He worked incredibly hard taking care of folks there. We will miss him.

I had to back up and look for my post on the $20 bet. I couldn't remember which way I bet. It looks like I was betting against. Where do I send the money?

Several threads on this subject already, those hinge pins can be a real booger to get out. In some cases, the only thing that works is drilling them out. Try heat. A lot of heat. Try a hydraulic press bigger than 12-tons. My 12-ton press wasn't strong enough. If that doesn't work, break out...

Yes, I had help from Soldier B and Soldier B-.

Road tested the new cover and it seems I've got it secured properly. It stayed on at least. Other than a few extra "pop" noises when the air pressure pops the cover in our out, I don't notice any driving difference. Visibility is actually the same as I very rarely look out the back window...

I picked up a cargo cover kit from clintogf while at Zout's cookout. I found enough energy today to figure out how to install it, I think. Kind of tough to figure out the front and back thing, but I think I got it right.

We made it home, tired but safe and sound. Thanks Dave and Deb for doing this cookout again. It is definitely a Steel Soldiers tradition. I missed it when Ron flipped the burger. I heard he did it twice. If anyone got that on video, please post it. Here's a few more photos from my iPhone.

Since Operation BS has been part of this thread so far, here's a few pics of the event.

I took off work at noon with the plan to load up and head over for the FF, but I've got a few unexpected items at the house to take care of first. I also found a couple of small problems during my pre-trip inspection. One of the lower alternator bolts has backed almost all the way out and the...

The problem with Tapatalk for me is that when it starts misbehaving while I'm connected to my home WiFi, it causes the SS site security to block my IP address, but it blocks my router, not my iPhone. Then none of my devices at home can get through to SS because the router is being blocked, even...

Ron, I access the SS site and other forums almost constantly from my iPhone. I'm on the go most of the time so Tapatalk is necessary for that purpose. For me, Tapatalk or something else that serves that purpose is very much needed. I have experienced the problem a few times over the past week...
