thanks for the heads up, think I'll bring my digital, it's time for new one anyway [^] I've heard there is a Sparks, NV centennial parade that day and they invited MV owners [:(!] it's gonna take away from some of those that would go to Mustang, but I'll still be there

very cool, I think I need a front output seal as well, mine's leaks a bit. Gonna start putting a little extra $ away, hopefully will have it installed by mid summer

thanks for the update. Well, that seals the deal, I'm getting the kit! They're great to deal with on the phone, but I haven't ordered from them yet. I examined all my pieces in the case, I'm pretty sure my sprags are shot, no forward or reverse application. Oh well, the manual will be WAY...

Devin is right there- the only market you have is to deuce owners and bigger. I've been curious about swapping to 5 ton axles, but the 2.5 tons are plenty. Now, if I swapped on 16R 20's it would be another story :) The other thing that may kill your plan is shipping- make sure you have a...

I'm on board, always willing to help, have a full line of tools, oxy-acetylene, welder, etc. However, I'm hesitant to post my phone number or address on an open forum, even in my profile. Call me crazy, but after working for RPD financial crimes it's scary how easy it is to track somebody down...

I'll switch those tonight and doa little testing. Never though of that, just assumed the middle one would have better traction since more weight is over it. [thumbzup] I'll also test to see if the turning radius is affected, middle axle pulled vs rear axle pulled vs both in.

I'll chime in since I've done both (front axle and rear axle). After many miles of testing, I've come to the conclusion that the front shaft is not worth pulling unless your sprag is malfunctioning like mine and you have to worry about it dropping in at 5th gear. Anyhow, I noticed NO decrease in...

wow, mine really hates speed I guess. I'd say it would cruise perfect in 5th at 1600 RPM (assuming flat ground). 1800 cruises nice, and 2000 it gets a little bumpy. It'll drive up to 2800 RPM, no prob, but there's no way I'd want to "cruise" it there! :lol: Back from Idaho I kept it at...

sweet buncha loot! I gotta keep an eye on eBay more often......

awesome! thanks for the detail shots [thumbzup]

right on, I will be there come hell or high water, it's close enough to drive the deuce without worry of breaking down, so I'll be there :)

there will be a machine gun shoot and explosives demonstration the weekend of June 18th/19th. There will also be a military vehicle showing, the chance to shoot all types of machine guns, a mini gun, a flame thrower, etc., a nightfire tracer shoot and more. I spoke with Neil Connoly and he...

a good trick is to sand down the number on the frame so that the paint stays in the numbers and you can clearly read it, the DMV will want to see that # instead of a dash plate anyhow. A good trick to uncovering old stencils under layers of paint is to spray it with a mist of gloss. When I...

lookin really, REALLY good. Great job any chance of higher resolution versions of those pics, like 1280x960 for my desktop? The pics turned out great too!

yikes! that doesn't sound fair to me. Unless I'm missing something....... Staurn has a whole new starter listed at $175, so $350 for a solenoid? I'd check with Joe Young or Dave at Eastern Surplus too, should be a common takeoff part

sand I'd think it would shine since those tires have SO much flotation, they'd do great. You don't need a lot of tread on sand, except maybe paddles. Ice under snow is another story though :(

very cool! So how'd the winch do? Looks like the mud is STICKY

here's my personal experience with mud: [url=http://www.buschandbusch.com/deuce140.jpg] :lol:

I've often thought about a full cage- not something that is attached to the frame, but a full independent "bubble" if you will, like the jet boats and their ejectable pilot capsules. So you roll, the first thing that happens is it rips the little cage capsule out of the truck, and you roll to...

I could sure put one of those to use when it snows up here [^]
