looking good [thumbzup]

thanks guys [thumbzup] It took 16 cans. Somebody had used brush paint at one paint, but it wasn't CARC. The spray stuck wonderfully to the CARC, but on the brush stuff it took 3 coats. Took 16 cans total, mostly because I haven't done the axles, and I did the frame, springs, inner...

hmmm... those HEMTT's are the size of, like, 3 deuces right? [^]

Keep the exhaust stack covered when not in use. A 2-liter soda bottle or small coffee can will save your pipes from rust. :lol: , I mean, it looked like I drove it through the Bayou

there's a zillion options- and it depends on the end use of the truck. Are you looking for show or go? If you plan to drive this thing at all, ESPECIALLY off road, there's no way I'd sepnd more than a few hundred dollars to have somebody else do it. I spent $2800 to paint my truck Lemon Glow...

pics of my freshly painted M35, I think she turned out great:

Monster Man, I LOVE MY 'BUSA!!! It's actually my second one. First one, a '99, was stolen after I had done a LOT of modifications to it...lots. :banghead: Cruise along at 140mph and whack it and the thing would squat, try to rip the bars outta your hands and flatten you eye balls as it...

sweet, that pic of the wheel on the bumper next to the old MINI tires (wow, never thought I'd call those mini), that's bad. You have to let us know how long the combat wheels take to change. Other than finding them, the only drawback I've heard is that they take about 4 times as long to...

yup, you're correct, it's a bullet race muffler, about 16" long wleded into the top exhaust tip portion, then about 6" of extra length was left in. This really mellows the engine, it'll never be quiet, but it makes riding with the window down (or top) possible. The brake is a pinion parking...

By-passing the density compensator will not increase the efficiency of the engine, no difference in mpg's. The fuel delivery may increase some. I don't see any reason for bypassing it unless it is a source of trouble. Increase fuel delivery with adjustment screw instead and benefit from the...

oh no!!! :freaked: didn't check back before painting it, sorry! It did turn out very well though, the olive looks just like the old color canvas, I'm thrilled! I ran out of Olive for the winter fornt though, so it looks odd. And it's a shame cause my vinyl top is new, but like I said...

I'd think it would be a problem in a fuel injected vehicle to a certain extent. Fuel injected cars are running like 50psi though, and with return lines (I'm not sure the deuce has any) so that's probably the difference. With carbs it's no big deal because the float bowl compensates for all...

cool, thanks. I think I will stain them even if it wasn't original issue, I think it would look pretty cool. Easier to paint, but I'll go a little extra and stain and seal them and that's a pretty slick truck DD!

my 18 cans of Olive Semi Gloss 24087 just showed up and I'm-a-gonna be paintin' this weekend (weather permitting!). [thumbzup] I know it might not be enough to do the whole thing, but I can save the interior for later and the undercarriage will all be black, I think it looks better. The...

they should be cleaned or changed at least, I'd say, every couple thousand miles. There are three on the deuce, and for good reason. If even a speck of dust gets in the injection pump it is destroyed. When rebuilding, it's done in a dust free room with rubber gloves and the whole bit the...

never seen a figure, but mine is diesel only, and for the trip home with all axles in and front hubs engaged I managed 9.5, with axles out and front hubs off around town in lots of traffic I think I'm getting 10+ (haven't done a real precise measurement). Not good, but significantly better...

very cool, it's a small world, huh? I rememeber that 6x, it's sweet! I should also note- water is bad for the engine (REAL bad), I acknowledge that, but desperate times call for desperate measures :yeah:

not really anything- but most anything flammable. However, you should never try to run the truck off pure gasoline, kerosine, alcohol, or anything else, always cut it with diesel. I am not sure I would even run straight biodiesel. A warning plate on the dash advises not to use aviation...

I should have mentioned- the article I got that form is required reading for ANY deuce owner: head over to www.IdahoMotorPool.com and download the PS28 article at the bottom. Also while you're there browse aorund [thumbzup] t's from PS Magazine, a preventive maintenance journal sent to...

hello Franz, welcome to Steel Soldiers. You have quite a collection of vehicles, great job! I will keep my eye out for M35 gasoline parts, as they are hard to come by here as well. I'm sure they are there but I have not been looking closely. Good luck in your search
