    AMX-13

    Very small, like my budget. I can't afford a Chieftan, a Leopard or anything "main battle" tank'ish. I could afford something like a Priest, but those are so old. This is at least a modern tank and still in use with a handful of countries. If I could've gotten it cheap enough (because...

    MRAP wheel adapters for M35A2

    There are some CAD drawings on here that have what you need, you can also look up the government NSN # for more detail. There was a post here not too long ago looking for these very things and got replies including one by me. I had custom wheels drilled so the drawings and data are good. Hate...

    Increasing the air intake in a deuce

    Did you also walk up hill, to school, both ways?

    AMX-13

    One sold at an auction in France on 4/3. Anyone here get it? I put in a bid based on the pre auction estimate (10k - 20k Euro), but it quickly went out of sight beyond my meager budget. With premium, it sold for around 51k Euro.

    Folding ladder for front bumper ideas.

    Never thought to take one. Right now the front end is in pieces. The ladder is a boat ladder, got it off Amazon.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Let's go with the tougher part - though I didn't even bother looking at paints. Maybe there is a paint that would be better. I just figured that bed liner is generally considered pretty tough stuff and can take dings w/out scratching. It's also possible that one way or another I may remove the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I don't post here much anymore because almost everything I'm doing is a major modification, but this time... So, I plan on building a teeny, tiny home in the back, but thought it would be good to put some spray on (roll-on) bed liner just as a sealer in the event when (not if) water gets under...

    BT band wagon

    Engine was cleaned today (oven cleaner), also placed the engine back into the truck. I've been told it won't come out again. Still a lot of work to do before stuff comes back together though. Found some damage from a (probably) KDP incident and need to replace a gear. Some of the pics are of...

    BT band wagon

    There's an a/c compressor mounted on the driver's side of the engine. It's looking like we'll get both alternators hooked back up. At least that's the impression I've gotten. I keep trying to get over there when they're working on it, but my stupid day job keeps getting in the way. :mad: I've...

    LDT-465 back to multifuel

    I run straight diesel because I don't have a place to store the set up. But, I have spoken to someone who had told me they mix 50-50 in the summer and only 25% wmo in the winter.

    Kinda feels like I've crossed the Rubicon now that the engine's been pulled.

    BT band wagon

    So, my truck went into the shop a few weeks ago, then my mechanic had 7 gallstones and had surgery (what a pussy 😭). In my day they did the surgery up hill, both ways. Anyways, work has restarted, but at a pretty slow pace. Meh, driving in the winter sucks around here anyways. Using...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    Eastern Surplus has the worst shipping rates of any suppliers I've used. Occasionally, I've found a part on there with a reasonable rate, but generally I only buy from them if I absolutely can't find it anywhere else. If you don't have a good list, shop around, there are quite a few suppliers...

    M35a2 Super Singles Difference & Installation

    Here's a couple of threads that talk about the flip, though maybe rotate is a better way to refer to it. Essentially, you're rotating it 180 degrees. There's a hole it it to remount it, and it's not in the center so a new one has to be drilled...
