    Marengo Show buy/sell/trade

    Wow, I should check this forum more often. Anybody gonna have any axle boots for a deuce? If I hit the lotto before then I'll also be in the market for a bumper, fenders, bed, and since I'm dreaming about winning the lotto, a new, never used engine in the can with a C turbo.:whistle:

    M35A2 Turn Signal Flasher Repair...

    Would a heat gun (for removing paint) work, or is that too much?

    rear facing T case pto

    It would have to be one at least 8' wide to be worth it. Probably even a Batwing mower.

    rear facing T case pto

    You could also power a generator.

    CHOCK those tires!!

    As another alternative for chocks, I make mine out of treated 6X6's. I cut an 8' in half to make it easier to handle. I then set the blade on my 10" table saw at 45 degrees and set the fence 1" from the blade. (blade tilted AWAY from the fence) Then I run the 4' pieces through, and flip them...

    Names on your deuce

    We never did that in the Guard, but then again, if you're at the PX and your name is on the truck, or you're going a little fast down the street on base, they're going to know who you are.

    What's your Deuces' name?

    Hells Belle without a doubt!! I think I'd be honored for a relative to make that request. What would be really cool is if he had some nose art on his plane that you could recreate on the truck.

    What's your Deuces' name?

    I looked around for a thread on this, but couldn't find any so here goes. I think I'm going to call mine "Super Jeep". I have a Jeep JK, and it's a Kaiser so I think it fits. I was also thinking of "Hummer Who?", but I'm going with a Vietnam era paint job so that seems a bit out of...

    Soccer moms LOOK OUT!!!

    Generator

    It might be easier to install a belt driven Hyd. pump and then mount the head to the frame further back under the bed and run it off the hydraulics. I know that's how our firetrucks are configured. It takes up less space and you could mount it where it won't interfere with something else. You...

    Do I really need a spare tire?

    Slow vehicle safety

    Sometimes you don't have a choice in what highway you need to travel on. But if you are on a 2 lane road, you should maintain a large interval in a convoy. For one, stopping distances are longer with MV's, and two, you should allow space for vehicles to pass when safe. If you pay attention to...

    My heart is broken

    It could be worse. I've seen a lot of guys' love of their lives drive off down the road.... with their new boyfriend, and half of their stuff. You'll find a new love soon.

    The "HOOD IN THE FACE" club

    Had the same situation with a '95 Dodge, only it was my fault. I had just changed the oil and didn't close it all the way, and I knew about the recall but hadn't done anything yet.

    The "HOOD IN THE FACE" club

    I had a '95 Dodge and had the same situation except for the cell phone. And I had just changed the oil myself. And I had gotten the recall notice, but hadn't gotten around to getting it fixed. So I ended up cursing myself and bending everything back into shape myself. Only left a...

    Not for sale...

    Not a truck, but I let Uncle Sam have my 18 1/2 years (NG) because I value my family more.... Yep, some things are more important than money or stuff.
