I'm installing rust free doors on the deuce this weekend. The passenger door has no weather stripping and the drivers door only has 2/3s of it there. Since this was an unexpected project (long painful story) I didn't have all needed parts on hand. While at Ace hardware my wife found something we...

I've been able to check a few things off my to do list lately. When we took the deuce to the dez last time, I brought along 5 gallons of diesel, 5 gallons of gas, 5 gallons of water and my small generator. Because there MIGHT have been 3 boys riding in the back for 500 miles I had to take the...

Not mine: 6X6 OFF ROAD Motorhome Good looking though.

Three or four months ago I received a new credit card from my bank. Didn't think anything of it at the time and didn't bother to read the letter that came with it. A short while later I tried to make a purchase online where that credit card was on file and the charge was declined. It seems...

My local Army/Navy store has a used hood and tailgate for 59.99 each. I took a couple grainy pics on my cell phone - PM if you want any more info - I have no idea if that is a fair price or not.

My son got me the primary fuel filter setup Westfolk puts out as a Christmas gift. He was going to get me a 1 inch gear wrench to deal with my stock filter system, but I'm glad he went this route! When I brought my deuce home from GL I changed all the fuel filters. Ever since then the primary...

Where is the best place to buy shoes for the parking brake on my deuce? I thought someone had picked up a lot at GL, but I don't see any in the classifieds. Mine's getting a little worn.

Finally got around to installing my special shouldered winch bolts today. I had to make 2 trips to the hardware store since the lock washer is 9/16 and the flat washer is 1/2 inch. Got good ole American made stuff too. Passenger side went good, just removing the temp bolts and installing the...

When I brought my M109 (now M35ish) deuce home, I didn't like the headlights in the lower position. I knew I would be getting a winch someday (and I did) so on one of the hottest days of the year in July I flipped them. It was a simple matter of removing 6 nuts on each side, flipping the whole...

After I swapped the rusty roofed M109 box for a clean cargo bed I discovered the mounting for the pioneer rack was a little different. I've been meaning to fab something up to get it reinstalled, but have been dragging my feet. I thought about putting a toolbox there and when Phil mentioned he...

I've noticed a coolant smell the last few times I've driven my deuce. No signs of leaks anywhere. Temps in the 180-190 range per the gauge. There is a 2 x 2 in hole in the radiator that was patched by Uncle Sam and is holding well - again no leaks. I checked the coolant level after it had...

I don't know much, but I do know a TAN truck needs a TAN top. Thanks Jim!

I have SEARCHED, I have printed the pages out of the -34P and I ran the NSN and part number through google. I have the characteristics data for the bolts (left and right) but I haven't found a place to buy them! If someone has purchased these lately, can you tell me where and maybe what part...

Finally got a little time in my schedule to install the winch I picked up last month from Jim. Well, it's MOST of a winch, it still needs a shaft, levers and a PTO, but it's a good start. My son and his friend were there to do most of the work. Nothing earth shattering about getting it on -...

I am ready to start installing my winch. JUST the winch right now, no PTO, no shaft - frame extentions and the winch. One piece at a time, just like Johnny Cash. I have most of the bolts figured out, Jim gave me some great advice, but I would like to have the TM right there. Which TM (and yes...

I met up with Jim Henderson yesterday who is criss-crossing the globe in search of MV parts. He is about 2 hours away from me on this leg of his trip and brought me a winch for my deuce. Since the camper is still on the back of my GMC we hooked up the trusty modified M105 trailer to haul it...

I picked up a used Kenworth air horn cheap off of eBay (really used - still had a chunk of fiberglass attached). I also picked up a new 12/24 volt solenoid to run the horn. I put it in the cab at the end of a t fitting under the dash on the right side. Then I mounted the horn on the right...

The original plan was to ship the paperwork off to Rat4Spd and let him spend 10 minutes at the courthouse in Iowa tagging my deuce. I even thought I would get the license upgrade in the bible belt since I still pay my income taxes back there. With retirement headed my way in two years and no...

Got up early this morning to bid on a bunch of 5 tons and found out that the start date and end date had been slid to the right by one day at one location. I wonder what GL is up to now?

Yes I searched. I did not find. I have no forklift, crane, wrecker, etc. I need to drop it into a tight spot. Can it be slid off somehow? Any suggestions? Anyone in SOCAL wanna swap for a M35 bed?
