    Bobbed Deuce 5th wheel install

    It's the AC condenser. I have a fan on it to keep a good amount of airflow through it. I had it mounted under the bed before. I chose to mount the hitch just in front of the rear spring hanger so I would have enough room to open the generator compartment at the front of the camper and not have...

    Bobbed Deuce 5th wheel install

    I put my deuce under the knife this weekend. I pulled the bed and cut and welded some mounts for a 5th wheel hitch. The way I have it mounted I can put the bed back on right over the hitch. Next is getting power dropped to 12 volts for the camper battery charger, running lights and brake lights...

And...

    Electric windshield wiper conversion

    I need help from y'all. My deuce is once again my daily driver and I'm tired of my wipers dancing all over the windshield as I drive. I want to convert to electric wipers. What is the best way to do this? And what is the cheap way that still works? I live in Florida now so functional wipers are...

    Raging Fabrication Deuce finally getting power steering

    I'm finally getting around to power steering on my Deuce. I made the reservoir out of .040 stainless steel and a few left over fittings. I TIG welded it all with stainless rod and in an argon chamber. It came out pretty well. Now to gather all the other parts.

    New seat install in the deuce!!

    Looks good. Not to hijack your thread but I used a third row seat from a ford Aerostar. It was free from the junkyard. Went in really easy. much more comfortable than stock seats.

    So I use my truck as my daily driver and in the tree business. We have a field that we park the trucks in along with all the equipment. It's been raining a lot in Ga lately so the field was pretty wet. I needed the dup trailer the other day so I drove across the field to get it. No problem. 2...

    Winch drive shaft dimensions

    I am in a pickle. My winch is from a gasser deuce. My shaft is at high angle driveline to get remade. I need the total length. And the shaft diameter. I know it's smaller for the multi fuel than the gasser. Thanks.

    A better cup holder

    For 6 years I knew I needed something. A decent cup holder. Most of us have the same problem. Well today I got around to fixing the problem. I used left over scrap steel 1 inch wide by 1/8 inch thick steel strap and some expanded steel from an earlier project. Total build time was a hour. My...

    Locked rear axles

    I am running a rear ARB in my bobbed Deuce. I love it. I did a whole write up on it when I installed it. It was pretty easy. Just do a search under my name to find the write up. Good Luck. You'll love the added traction. I use mine a couple times a month when I am pulling trees.
