    Finished my winch install

    I finally finished the install of the winch onto my truck. It took about 8 hrs over 3 days and I got the cable on last night. The PTO was the hardest thing to install. And it works great. Here are some pics. They aren't step by step cause I got to excited after the first few steps to take more pics.

    How do you change PTO boots?

    Well I ended up with the old boots tearing. So I used a small screwdriver to dig out the excess from under the lip on the PTO. To put the new ones in was prettyy easy until the end, I had to use a screwdriver to gently get the last bit of the part of the boot that goes under the lip under it. It...

    M105 on Penske trailer?

    I did some measurements today and the Penske auto trailers have 79in of uesable deck space and the M105 is 75/6in from tire sidewall to sidewall so I have a few inches to spare and I am going to load it on backwards (I have a pintle on the front of my duece that should help with that). And the...

    To Winch or Not to Winch a No-Winch M35A2? Opinions

    I actually am going to start putting a winch on my truck this week. The only bad thing is my incessant need for safety, so I had to go out and buy grade 8 bolts to replace all the ones on the extensions and bumper. But I can't wait to get it on, I know it is well worth it to have one.

    Deuce and CUCV from GA to CA (prices?)

    Actually thats why I am asking. I am doing a DITY move (I've done a couple with the deuce) this one is substantially longer (2,000 Mi) and I want to make sure all the options and bases are covered/known/researched before the move itself. I am fairly confident that my deuce will make it, but...

    Deuce and CUCV from GA to CA (prices?)

    My deuce and M105 weigh more than the alloted 16,000. Not to mention the CUCV. Thanks for the heads up though. Any info I can get is welcome.

    Deuce and CUCV from GA to CA (prices?)

    So next year in June/July I am moving from Ft. Benning, GA to Las Vegas, NV. A friend of mine mentioned that instead of driving the deuce and towing the CUCV I might want to look into having it hauled/backhauled from here to there. (hauled to possibly Ventura, Ca, or Murrieta, CA instead of...

    CUCV Starter Supplier

    From what the description of vehicles it says it works with it is most likely 12v. All the Auto parts suppliers I have been to so far have tried to give me 12v starters. But I am going to take back the 12v starter from one supplier my mechanic put in (still under warrenty) and see if they can...

    Oil pressure problem?

    I have a 1970 M35A2 that I have had for about 5 years I have had the current engine in for about 3. I changed the head gaskets about 2 yrs ago before I moved to GA. When I first start and drive the truck the oil pressure needle is in the middle of the gauge. It stays there for about the first...
