The new paint needs a little age to blend better. I'll touch up the black and then give it a good wash after it cures for a couple of weeks.

Made a bit more progress on rehab'ing the driver side mirror and mount. Welcome to my paint shop!

Mine makes a couple of popping or thumping noises when turning, but no gong noises. I think the noises mine makes when turning is simply the rear axles shifting laterally and then returning to normal during and after a sharp turn.

I like that pivot crane. I need one of those on my truck. One thing I learned is that getting anything heavy into the back of a deuce is not an easy task for one man!

That's exactly what it is. It's a very good penetrating oil.

Finally! I got both door hinge bolts out. Heat, water, PB Blaster, pounding, and repeat until successful. Man, those hinge bolts fight to the last 1/4 inch. I thought I had them beat when I got them to move a little. No such luck. The last 1/4" of movement was as stubborn as the first. Now I...

You're a sick man.

I think Joe is off by about $60,500 on his price! I'd really check that engine out too if he thinks it runs on gasoline as well as diesel.

That sounds like a great experience. I never heard of it before. I'm definitely checking out the website.

Yep.

I intend to be there with my truck. I just wanted to make sure this was a separate event and not the same event that was planned for August. Clinto, I agree and will do what I can to support causes for animals. Now I really have to get my door hinge/mirror rebuild project finished!

So, this in addition to the Gainesville Touch-a-Truck event in August?

Well, yesterday I had very good luck removing my driver side mirror. I need to clean it up, repaint it, and reinstall with new hardware. The hardware came out pretty easy with a little heat. All of it with the exception of the door hinge bolts. Those bolts are seized in the hinges and I cannot...

Yeah, I don't know why I forgot the 3-way switch. That's what I get for posting while driving. I assume "c/bs" means circuit breaker? He still doesn't know whether he has the air switch or a hydraulic switch for the brake lights, so we don't know if air pressure was a factor or not. I guess...

Pretty sure NAPA won't have this one. They're about $40 from a few sources. Try Erik's Military Surplus. I don't get why touching 2 hots together on a single source, common ground DC system would cause a problem. I would think your buddy shorted the supply (hot) to ground and that...

I took the old one in to Royal Brass and they made on for me in about 15 minutes. I think it cost $12.

Put the Hulk graphics on the doors. Paint the truck OD Green. The graphics will look good against the dark green background.

My son, LOKI85, and I took the soft top off of Betty and drove over to Clinto's place and spent the afternoon there. We met 3rdaavbn there. He and Clinto had just finished swapping in a new engine and getting the winch installed on 3rd's deuce. Very sweet running engine, too. LOKI's been...

Yeah, I picked up that handle from my modded FJCruiser. It's army green and from the front people say it looks like a ninja turtle. Tie a red bandana to the radio aerial and its Raphael! Like I said, I figured that you had the tools and the know-how. The brake light system on the deuce is...

Thanks, Heath. I saw that at TSC yesterday but wasn't sure it was the right stuff. Clinto, I'd love to ride out there today but I have so much to get done here. 2 bikes to fix as my son has turned in to Mr. Destructo, 3 vehicles to wash, and who knows what else. Ain't it funny how the stuff we...
