Check out my set up here using the socks:

I'm really happy with it. Filters 55 gallons in a few hours. Still working with the original socks. No pressure needed, just gravity. My final transfer is always using a...
I waited till I was 23 and done with college to buy my M35A2. I've had my 1963 jeep and numerous other Jeep toys since I was 15 though. I would recommend starting there. They're small, simple, easy to drive, and very fun to own. Looking back, no way on earth did I have the maturity or capability...
I bought my deuce from a guy in 'Cuse. He had a NY transferable registration and regular truck plate, no title. Transferred to PA without a problem thankfully.
Step 1 is complete: acquire second cab! No rust and $300, complete with dash, gauges, windows in the doors, spring seat, even a nice fire extinguisher bracket!
What kind of negative reaction? Precipitation of sludge or something?
I've been mixing WMO, WVO, and diesel with little regard for about a year now and I am excited to switch to gas if it improves viscosity and cold starting.
I also saw your tip in another thread to mix the gas outside the...
I had to tackle a bunch of other things tonight but I got the gears in the good case at least. Man this thing is kicking my butt.
So I have gaskets cut out of 1/32" thick gasket material and I filed down the split lines with a file then a knife sharpening stone. Should I still put a coating of...
I'm also very interested in the gas/WVO blending. Minimum octane right? I've recently gone from having access to a large amount of WMO to having access to large amounts of WVO so I need to change my operation.
Wow, that sounds easy now. Sometimes you just need to stop and take a break. Seems pretty obvious now the way you described it. Thanks! I should be able to start on reassembly tonight.
I got new input/output seals from rock auto for $7 eash, I did some research and found people using the...
It's been a little over a year and things are a bit rustier than I left them, but I bought a house and moved everything and did a lot of work to the house and other mechanical projects so now it's back to this.
Tonight I started taking apart the other transfercase with the broken casting, as...
Speaking of transfer cases, I still have to put that air shift back together. It's been pushed under my work bench collecting dust for too long. Talk about lame on my part!
Thanks for the drive shaft info everyone.
I just can't take it anymore. The deuce has been great to me in original form, but it's time to go wild. Everybody and their brother can buy a regular deuce and drive it around. I want my own crew cab 4x4 with a M105 bed. I've been reading build threads and I have a good idea of what I'm in for...
No, not those socks. Duda diesel filter socks. I use them to gravity filter my fuels, and after almost 2 years, the same 3 I have stacked in each other don't seem to be filtering any slower than day 1 after hundreds of gallons of oil. Do those things ever die?
I have had no issues mixing WVO and WMO with no regard to ratio. I run a ton of both. Only issue I can think of is in winter when the temp drops WVO can have some nasty fats and crap precipitate out so I try not to run it in really cold weather. I have noticed it takes a little while longer to...
Has anyone come up with an alternative place to mount the tool rack? I put on a second fuel tank and I wanted to mount the rack and tools somewhere on the truck again.
Back of the tailgate would be cool, but swinging down they would get smashed.
I've seen the rack on one side of the fuel tank...
