Replace your turn signal switch assembly under the steering wheel. They get worn out, start coming apart and all kinds of weird things happen with the lights. The hazard flasher switch is part of that assembly and if the actuator for the hazards is missing, that would be your problem. The...

Oh yes, there will be pictures! Lots and lots of pictures! lol Everything from the recovery to the bob job will be thoroughly documented as this is my first MV and first bob job. I pride myself on my vehicles being different from anything anyone else on the road has. Weather I'm driving by on...

Good idea Rattle! Thanks! [thumbzup]

Since we're on the subject, When I make the trip to recover my 72 M35A2, she'll be making a little over 500 mile drive. I'm planning to install a pyrometer before leaving the previous owner's place. and since he added a giant muffler to the exhaust stack, I have no clue what the EGTs are gonna...

Random Tech Tip #38,2012. Got an oil leak you can't seem to find the souce for? Here's an old trick for finding those pesky oil leaks. I read about this method several years ago in Easyriders Magazine and was originally used to find slow seeping seals and gaskets on an american made V-twin, but...

My plan is to carry a compliment of air tools and a bottle of air too oil, with a gladhand hose and a quick disconnect coupler for tire chuck, and other air tools. as well as all the other tools mentioned. I also plan to carry a small mig welder and generator, and have a bench vise mounted on my...

Sorry, My bad! OK, now that you mention it Ridge, I see this now, what threw me was the pic from the other side with the cut on the other side of the bogie plate scar. I got a little freaked out there for a minute and had visions in my mind of verry bad things happening. While I'm not trying...

WOW! Did you really cut a section out of your frame and weld it back together????? Please tell me that's not what you really did!!!!! If so, get another frame, remove the rear cross member where the pintle hitch is mounted, shorten it from the rear end and BOLT the cross member back in. If you...

With all the rigamarole ya gotta go through to drive a deuce or a 5-Ton on a class C in the Peoples Republik of Kommiefornia, it seems to me it'd just be easier to bob it and then the Chips in the white cars (commercial vehicle enforcement) won't have probable cause to pull you over in the first...

Whatever kind of hardwood you use for the buffer strips, it wouldn't hurt to give them a coat of Thompson's Water Seal. Better to be safe than sorry. [thumbzup]

It looks like it collapses down, and if so what actuates it? (how's it work?) :popcorn:

Hey LFODT2B, Congrats on the new addiction and the new toy! Now that you've had some time to play with it, wrench on it and play with it some more, are ya still planning to go through with a bob job? If so, I've done a deuceload of research on bobbing and have some suggestions. There's so many...

You have my condolences on the loss of that pricey little noise maker! Since the house in which I was raised was 7 houses down the street from a National Guard Armory, I learned from a verry young age that those guys there did what they did to protect us and our freedom. So every month when the...

Welcome aboard Rez, Waving a hand from Yucaipa Cali here. Tell us about that deuce. (year/model, manufacturer, winch?, hard top? drop side? gonna bob it?) :driver:

So I'm sitting here on this lovely Sunday morning, sipping my coffee and watching Auction Hunters and waiting for The Powerblock. This is an older episode where Alan and Ton are somewhere in MA. and snag a unit containing a piece of tank trak and a large gun barrel. They ended up selling to a...

It used to be OD Green, but it's got that "OD Green sitting out in the sun for many years" color goin on. After I get the bob job done, I'll be scrubbing her down and giving her a couple coats of fresh OD Green. As for the blackouts and convoys, I'll be leaving all that stuff intact and if any...

So would a guy get heckled, ridiculed, blasted, flamed, insulted, screamed at, beaten, drawn and quartered, tortured, spanked, or slapped with a wet noodle for showing up in a bobbed M35A2? Note: a yes to any of the above wouldn't necicarily keep me from showing up. :jumpin:

Another thing the "People's Republik Of Kommiefornia" is famous for is changing the laws when they get the feeling they're not taking enough of the taxpayer's all-too-hard-earned money! Several years ago, my brother was an OTR driver and when he wasn't running cross country, he was running local...

You will not have to worry about upgrading your DL in California. Some other states require a CDL for various reasons like weight, number of axles, or the air assist system on the brakes, but none of those apply to you. In California, if the vehicle is privately owned and not being used for...

A couple lengths of 6"X2" steel tube welded to the bottom of the bed with the mounting angles welded to them works well, and supports the weight as long as you use anything between 1/8" to 1/4" wall thickness. Don't forget to trim and put the wood strips from the original bed between the frame...
