Today I completed new breathers for the front/rear axles. It turns out the 1/4" OD tubing was too small that I used in my original DIY fording kit when I had the multifuel engine. This time I went with 3/8" ID reinforced tubing. I ran the rear breather to an overall height of 6 ft, and the...
Put in a transfer case lever shifter boot. No more hot air gusts from the floor. A/C just got colder! :D
Check out my build thread below for more details. I only put highlights in this thread.
Next up, a flag pole mount for 2 Veteran's Day Parades next weekend (Sat/Sun)!
I got tired of feeling hot air rushing past my right side sometimes as I drove down the highway with the air conditioning running in my deuce. A brief search of the interwebz led me to BunkerofDoom.com where fellow Steel Soldier moderator OPCOM provided pics and a part number for a Mr. Gasket...
I'm typically grinning ear to ear the entire time I am behind the wheel of my bobbed deuce because she's so fun to drive. Well, today I grinned just a little more...
As I was driving to work this morning I rolled over the 1,000 mile mark on the odometer of my Autometer GPS speedometer since...
Not sure how much a turbo rebuild costs, but you could probably pick up another takeout turbo from somebody. Back in the day I paid $150 + shipping for a whistler turbo with no issues.
Wow, I forgot what it's like to walk up and work in an M35A2 engine bay. For the past 3 1/2 years I've had to use a 6 ft step ladder to get up to my jacked up bobbed deuce engine. :D
Keep the pics coming! A few videos wouldn't hurt either.
Below is the link to the entry form for the Walker Parade. I faxed my in today.
I have no idea what time to show up for the Parade. Anybody remember what time we should get there? 10am at the high school parking lot?

2015 Walker, LA - Veterans Day Parade (CANCELLED)
Now that my bobbed deuce is done I'm looking to start the parade circuit. A few years ago I attended this parade and I rode with JuanPrado. I had a blast!
The city of Walker's website says the parade starts at 1pm on 11/07/15.
Would any other...
I didn't use all of the sound deadener (maybe a little over a gallon). I did take time to shoot every single bit of the ceramic insulation 2 gallon bucket.
Well, I still have to wear ear plugs. Free iPhone app says max 97 dB while driving with the windows/floor vents closed. My windows need to be adjusted to seal better, and I have a few firewall holes to plug. I can attest to the insulation working really well, but my hopes of ditching ear...
