How about a washer made of polyethylene plastic for a bearing of sorts, like what they use to replace the grease on camping fifth wheel hitches.

I use a long pry bar for mounting the wheel on to the axle studs. The process is similar to using a shovel but allows the additional capability of being able to turn the tire so the hole in the wheel line up with the studs. No need to jack up the second axle at the same time this way. When I...

I have thought of doing something similar to PWM but locating it where the tire hoist is like gimpyrobb's idea. That way, it is not in the bed.

Detour but I think they still fly Phantoms as target drones out here on McGregor and/or White Sands missile range. I saw one get blown out of the sky some 12 - 15 years ago out at McGregor. O.K. I have to stop as I seem to be overcome with allergies all of a sudden. Back to topic...please note...

I think John Deere tractor oil is green. That would go with well with green machines:)

It does not require a CDL in TX. It does require at minimum, a class B license but not commercial unless you intend to use the truck commercially.

Helomech - I understand what you have been saying and agree that generally, you would be correct. I also have extensive experience in electricity, both stationary and vehicular and would have been prone to stating just about what you have. However, it has become apparent to me since being bit by...

I am really hoping to make this.

That is so cool!! thanks for posting. I had the pleasure of meeting a WWII vet last week while shopping at Lowes. He noticed my "Marines" ball cap and said hi Marine so I extended my hand and responded with "Semper Fi". He was wearing a WWII Vet ball cap so I asked him about his time in. He...

If you order from Rockauto, there is always a discount code available, usually for 5 % off. If you need it, I can find one and send it to you.

O.K. then, I'll try to be more helpful. Both my deuce (on 395s) and my 5 ton have bouncing issues at certain speeds that I can affect with tire pressure. Airing down usually will work to reduce my vibration below 40 mph. But I have to air down quite a bit so I limit this to when I will not be...

Then just speed up or slow down:)

It is a buttload (pun intended) more comfortable. the foam is much denser so you do not completely compress it to the point of resting on the base like you do with the stock seat. Plus, the foam is contoured to "cradle" you. I do not know of another color choice but it would seem easy enough to...

Hey Aaron, did you catch where I had posted my MRAP seat install quite a while back? I cannot find it now but here is a picture of the troop seats I installed three across in my truck. As you can see, the space underneath remains usable and the seat bottoms do fold up. I can get more of these.

There is a gathering at Elephant Butte lake coming up that is listed in the upcoming events section. Lots of beach and hills there for our trucks.

I think the sound you are hearing is air from the spring brakes. When you engage the parking brake, you release air from the spring brake chambers, causing the spring brakes to set. The sound you hear is that air as it is routed to the intake pipe. The regular service brakes take air pressure to...

Bed is just under 5 foot high.

I used regular ramps (6 foot) and come-alonged them up when loading at home on my deuce. Backed up to a hill and used the ramps to bridge to the hill when we were out in the desert. Unloaded them using the same ramps but used rope to gently lower the quads as it was easier that using the...

When they do rub, they rub on the outside curve of the bed reinforcements, not on a sharp edge. Just polished the metal some. I imagine it would be worse with quite a load on the truck but mine barely rubs with three quads and some coolers in the back. And that is that I know I have articulated...

What I think should be considered but has not been mentioned is the length of the drive shaft from the t-case to the front rear axle. Double u-joints was mentioned and is important but you also have to have enough length adjustment as the rear walking beam articulates. The shorter the drive...
