I've had this 66" Ibis Tek lightbar for nearly 2 years (purchased from a member here, TedG). So last weekend I thought I should do something about it! I will say it really hurts to drill 1/2" holes in you truck's windshield frame (the lower holes I put in bolt sleeves, but just the 5/16" bolts...

I packed up all my gear for a near week long trip, with the deuce and my small dog. I had the whole passenger seat and floor filled up (so no air from the passenger side floor vent) and the passenger side window was only 1/2 way down. Though I did have the passenger front window tipped out...

So I'm feeling rather dense at the moment, okay - more than usual. I'm mounting a CB antenna on my driver's bed side (with the antenna tied down toward the rear). And for the sake of ease, I bought an antenna kit. It came with the following antenna tie down: It was not immediately...

And by "highway" I mean I only drive my deuce 45-50 MPH on stock 9.00 x 20 tires. The cargo cover I purchased a while ago was in need of some TLC and I've had some large rips sewn up on the front passenger corner, and the front/rear window zippers re-stitched. How has your cargo covers held...

One of my pop-up clamps that holds the air cleaner housing is broken in the center of the loop. Do you think it would hold if the surface rust was cleaned up and then welded? I haven't seen individual clamps for sale and there isn't any need to replace the whole upper mount housing.

When water is allowed to pool on the turret cover on my deuce, it will easily leak through, and I can tell much of the rust inside the cab is from many years of such leakage and resulting humid interior conditions afterward. Is a bar like this to prop up the cover just something I need to...

Title of this thread is typical of most of my undertakings - the long way of doing things. I think I fuss to much over the details when it really doesn't matter, won't be noticed, or could have done it a simpler way but I just didn't know any better! I was going to wait to post all this once I...

On my new ( to me) 1966 M105A2 trailer, the plug was very difficult to get attached to my M35A2. And in my whopping 2.5 mile drive home the plug disconnected from the bouncing. Because obviously I only had it *barely* connected. I'm scratching my head here wondering how to "push it in...

Hey all, For the life of me I cannot seem to dig up the dimensions on what is the proper length x width x thickness for the deuce's bow sides (that hold up bows and cargo cover). Many of my bow sides are the worse for wear and some could be reused with sanding + painting, but I think it'd be...

I read a lot of posts around Steel Soldiers about various battery chargers, trickle chargers, and maintainers. Many of them arguing the best solution of either dual 12v or single 24v charging. I feel that the best comment in this continuing debate was made by steelypip...

Starting in May of 2011, I knew I wanted to put my Deuce in the my town's Independence Day parade - I also knew that I tended to get just way too warm in my truck (engine heat and weather contributing) - especially while needing to man handle the manual steering. Tilting out the windshield...

Let me share with you a few things that I've learned with owning a deuce in Utah. Please note, the following are my opinions and experiences and may still contain inaccuracies, please call the appropriate agencies or visit their websites to verify for yourself. Don't forget insurance I've...

I'm a bit concerned with the high oil pressure readings in my 1972 M35A2. The engine is a Continental LDT-465. After an oil change, a split upper canister gasket (over tightened operator error), and a bunch of oil on the engine/drive way I decided that it would be worth my money to purchase a...

I do not consider myself a very "handy" person, but I really, really enjoy doing these little modifications on my M35A2. The truck doesn't require spit and shine as similar work would on new(er) vehicles, but I do try hard to think the project though and what will work best for *me*, and for my...

I've seen a local ad pop up for this enclosed trailer (see attached images) and it got me thinking. With my Deuce I don't have a lot of storage space for tools, parts (especially parts!), tow bars, and many other things. I’d have to put such things in a box in the bed, which then I’d need to...

Hey there Steel Soldiers! I know there's lots of Northern Utah towns with their own parade sometime during the Independence Day weekend, but if you happen to be anywhere near Kaysville, I'll be having my truck in the parade on the 4th. Info about Kaysville City's Independence Day celebration...

So I've finally got my hands on a cago cover from Hooty481, and got it patched up to be pefectly servicable! However, I still need to get some of the rubber ("super") rope. I think Erik's Military surplus might be a little expensive, but there's a few other things I need to get there too...
