    Butch, Is your friend with the cut down truck with the antlers on the hood alright? I noticed that the front of his truck was V shaped and he lost a tire.

    New! 2009 GA Rally Multimedia Thread

    Butch, I am sorry you guys feel you were not welcome. This is just my observation. I was there for the whole event. I saw your truck several times in passing on the road. Your truck was brought up in conversation at the event several times in the form of "I wonder who's deuce that is sitting...

    New! 2009 GA Rally Multimedia Thread

    The rally was a blast! I would like to thank Clinto for all of his efforts organizing this super fun event. A special thanks needs to go to Richard and Mike for their "beyond the call of duty" efforts with the MKT display. We were blessed at this rally with: all you could eat tasty food, just...

    New! 2009 GA Rally Multimedia Thread

    I noticed that a couple of people showed interest in my truck bed. I modified a regular cargo box. So, I could pull my 5th wheel toy-hauler/RV with a gooseneck conversion. Here are a couple of pix.

    Closure On HEMTT Rim Adapter Plate Project

    Someone posted earlier about using thinner plate. The thinnest plate that will hold up to the deuces weight is 3/8". Rock crawlers use thinner plates. But, most of their units don't even weigh 1/3 of what a deuce does.

    Closure On HEMTT Rim Adapter Plate Project

    For the most part, the laser cut has close enough tolerances to weld together. On this wheel adapter the tolerances are fine for the center and outside perimeter. The problem lies in the 16 stud holes and 6 lug holes. All cutting tools have a lead in point. I have seen some pieces with up to a...

    Closure On HEMTT Rim Adapter Plate Project

    A large number of the posts on this tread are negative. Every adapter that is being built, that I know of, is using state of the are tooling and processes. The laser does not cut to the tolerances they claim. The laser does remove a lot of material which saves time and tooling. But, it still...
