    Truck got hit friday night.

    Friday night, he was probably drunk and didn't want to get caught so he hit your truck and took off. Take it to a shop and get an estimate and then present the bill to him. Take the money and do whatever you want with it.

    New to the site and going to buy a Deuce.

    A lot of deuces go though Hooks, TX. A decent deuce without winch will go for about $1200-$1500. With winch will add about $1000. Look for one on the Govliquidation website and you will find a few fairly close to home.

    Installing a Winch.

    Hardware is cheaper at Tractor Supply Company. You can buy it by the pound. I think it is $4/lb for grade 8 bolts.

    I ran out of DIESEL

    It is easy enough. Crack all the fuel lines at the injectors and crank until they drip. Tighten them up and then start it.

    My CUCV is running just fine thank you!

    Well, I learned a lesson about fuel tank sending units. If the gauge reads full, it just MIGHT be full. I started to drain the tank and blew on the hose to siphon the tank and fuel bubble out. Took out 5 gallons and, by golly, the gauge went down!

    Broke bolt on coolant passages on top of engine... help

    The bolt has rusted to the inside of the hole. Get a propane torch and some MAPP gas (both available at any hardware store) and heat it until it glows then give it a whack with a hammer.

    need some M1009 civi tire advice

    I worked at Bridgestone for a while. Much of the difference in tire brands is only the tread pattern. Same sidewall, same steel belts, same everything except tire mold.
