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.
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...
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...
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.
I am removing a winch from a m35a2. I need an inspection plate for the trans. so, I can remove the PTO. Also, I have 2 deuces that I want to make the middle axle a dummy axle for highway use. Does anyone have either some spare/ broken axles that I can cut? Or, spare front axle hubs? I...
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.
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...
I am not posting to irritate anyone. I ONLY HAVE 27 YEARS EXPERIANCE IN METAL FAB. I am SORRY for stating the facts. I am SORRY I posted something that you didn't want to hear. I am on this site to help. If you don't want my expertise, so be it! I HAVE CONVERTED HEMTT WHEELS. LOTS OF THEM. I...
I just started on the interior of my truck. I added 2 accu-ride air ride bases. I can't find a seat that i like yet so I temporarily have aluminum boat seats on the bases. I dynomatted the firewall and trans. tunnel. I added power windows. I converted my whole truck to 12 volt. I re-arranged my...
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...
In atankerdads and 100dollormans defence, I build this same wheel. I have been in the metal fab business for almost 30 years. 220-250 dollars for the plate is COST!!!! I know everyone here in this hobbie would love to find a cheaper way to mod. these wheels. We are all up for new options on this...
