I agree, I made a 'spider' from parts from the parts store, and I believe I had several bucks in it by time I was done makng it. I'v seen the 'spiders' for about $12-13 at Saturn, that and the fact I didnt then have ruber plugs after I built it but plain connectors. its well worth buying it as...
Heres a trick for rubber plugs on the MV's or anything for that matter: use liberal amounts of WD40 to remove them, after letting it set a bit, and with a bit of patience and a ginger hand you are likely to get them unpluged intact. Once off the rubber plugs can be put in boiling water in a pan...
I was looking in Ebay after seeing a Baby J site where they convert and Bob in different configurations. That led to seeing a couple Bobbers on Ebay, which led to the old forum we had in 08, man has it been that long? So I put an ad in clasifieds under trade and offered my Bike for a Deuce. In...
Hay Folks, Men and Woman, boys and girls, the time approaches....my offer of safe haven still stands. I'll be there, hoping that you will be as well.
SEE POST # 32 here in this thread on page 4. Not to worry their will be help if theres mishap, and an emergency place to fix or store your outfit.
I recall detailed instructions in a post here in SSS, very foolproof, detailed, youl have to do a little hunting, as I dont know the title to search under, but again they were with pictures and error proof.
Well My Deuce has the Napa muffler and looks good with it. I, however, dont know how much difference it is without one, never having been in the cab of a non-muffler Deuce. But I'v read here on the form that there is quite a difference. I wonder what the Decible difference really is between the two?
Heres a thought to add to this question, typically the info is in the dash plates as to the builder, one of several builders, but lacking the dash plate would motor brand designate a body builder? for instance my AMG has a White, would another Model brand Deuce be built with another parent brand...
Were there ever soft doors used on the Deuce, you know, like the soft doors used on Jeeps and such with soft-tops. I'v seen the doors completly off on ocasion, but cant quite recall ever having seen a Deuce with soft doors?
Heres something I did, it will only work with brass radiators though as aluminum causes a reaction. I used 'muriatic acid' after taking the radiator out and laying it flat and filled with water from a bucket that I had poured in 6-8 oz's of the mixed solution. Watching it for a fiew minuates...
I'd guess the next question about these tires is. are they 'DOT APROVED' as there could be a hassel with a 'educated' Officer, and might come into play. Thinking about it, I more often than not cruse at about 2,000 RPM?? if I remember correctly, which translates at about 45-50 mph I think...
I like the Bobed configuration with the standard 900x20's with the duals out back. Although the 'BIG' tire'd versions are surely 'too cool' as well, my preferance is a shortened Deuce bed and duals.
lock-out's
It would seem that the prices are WAY too high, with the economy and all tanking.When these suppliers decide that they ane not going to get double and 20% over cost, then I will buy, untill then mabe they will find a recipe for them simmilar to 'ROCK SOUP'
The hitch you propose might not be enough , and who knows, it might tweak your bed or something worse........the ONLY THING YO DO HERE is to do it properly.........and for that you will have to purchase just a fiew components, A small American flag, a couple of freasheners, a cup holder and a...
Thats what I said, 'I'll only drive it once in a while' Well I do only drive it once in a while..... to the corner store....in the next town.... to get a cigar and Peach Nehi, or to pick up a gallon of gas for the lawn mower, again the next town over. And ocassionally a couple towns over , a...
I got the cure, ........now their little beans and grow REAL tall, I mewn REALLY tall, I'l trade you them for a chicken or a cow, or a Deuce.....or .............my name is Jack
Pretty much the things alot, 'not all' want in a Deuce are #1 turbo, #2 winch and #3 a hardtop. Then I would say the things they want secondarily would be a heater, then bows and canvas. Once you start modifying then you enter a whole new areana, with different wheels and tires, and the option...
For the parts to protect use HIGH tac duct tape. Silica sand in 30 or 35 grit It is a carcinagin, and is highly bad for the lungs, it after time 'can' cause silicosis if proper breathing aparatus are not used, definatly get a GOOD type of mask, a sandblast hood is best.
Paint, awww its only paint, you got the truck, I'v got a notion if you got some guys to make a big scene about it sometime when you were out with it with Her, mabe she'd find green ok....wink wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean................
This .65:1 gearset your talking about, what, where, What does it come from ie. what trans origginaly or are they aftermarket? please enlighten, as I'v not heard of these gears before.
