    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Nope this is pretty standard looking wood, nothing special in the figure or pattern that I've seen. Though I will have to resaw some of it so I might find a few gems. I'm making a double-wide tatami platform for a friend. hoping to use a new to me Japanese joint that doesn't require screws.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yep to Hard and kiln dried , got it through Hardwood Industries, regional wood wholesaler. I get to shop there because we've got a woodworking group that has finagled an account. Starter definitely. The weight wasn't really resting on my turbo, that was snug but more of a Just-In-Case safety...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    New starter I replaced the petcock on my secondary fuel filter housing. Ended up using a Schrader valve for a couple of days while waiting on a new petcock to arrive. 1/8" NPT Air tank drain is what I had to search for on the big A. Also replaced the starter on my m35a2c yesterday with a...

    PNW Info Thread!

    Who's got an MV and goes to Riverside Topsoil in Snohomish WA? I had some dirt (26 yards) and tailings (26 yards ) delivered to my house. They were giving the dirt away free, just had to pay truck time. ($135 per truck and transfer trailer) x 2 trips. Mentioning the extra info incase...

    Im no rocket surgeon but my LED can lights like my 803 much more than my 10k Northern Energy civilian generator. No flickering or brownouts with new loads being introduced

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I installed some ZIPnuts for my license plates (front and back) , replacing the self tapping sheet metal screws I'd used originally and started planning how to run the wire for the backup camera. The camera lens was masked before I painted it with RAPCO 383. I will lightly scrape the IR...

    Need headsets to communicate w passengers in 5-ton

    I bought this on Ebay for $79. Works awesome with just a 9V battery. It has a aux power input that'll accept 9-30v, I just haven't wired a plug up to the truck yet...

    Life Expectancy of LED headlights

    I've got those lights from TMG in my truck, fit well and are much brighter. The light is a bit cool white , if that matters to folks.

    How many gallons Behr paint for m35

    Agreed that spray definitely looks better, my choice was expediency as the fall brings the rains here in western WA as I want a fresh coat on the top for the winter rains. @pigpen, I waited 3 days between coats, but that was primarily due to my available time to work on it rather than...

    How many gallons Behr paint for m35

    I'm most of the way through rolling on a second coat on my m35a2c, I'm at almost 2 gallons used so far and that's the exterior of the body only, ie not the underbody or underbed.

    Height of pintle hitch on M116A3 Picking up new Genset Mep-803A

    I towed mine with my deuce, which is definitely too tall, but I didn't even notice it behind me, tow's great. Good luck with your recovery.

    Height of pintle hitch on M116A3 Picking up new Genset Mep-803A

    My dataplate says 25.1" Make sure to read the TM, and check that the Ebrake is unlocked and ensure you connect the ebrake chain to your car. I've been told the 24v lights in it will work on 12v, they'll just be dim.

    Read the fine print too. Theres a $750 deductible you have to pay in any dispute, that may be worth more than whatever isnt as pictured/inspected. Ive got a thread on some recent tires I bought that you can peruse if you want. If its not explicitly listed as there and working dont assume it...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I started my paint job, rolling on a coat of paint to get me through the winter. Just a couple of days of rain up here and I'm noticing the horizontal flat surfaces increasing in rust. I want to pull off the body and media blast the frame etc but that'll have to wait until spring as I don't...

    The Centipede aka my new 1988 m35a2c

    @Jericho, I can't take credit for the design that's all TMG's, though I agree it's a nice one! I did get the other 2 toggle covers on yesterday, being the first day of football season, I didn't get anything else done on the truck.
