    Just post up a picture of the wrecker from the front passenger or front driver side or both.

    What to look for in a salvage yard but not want to find

    Don't feel bad, snakes are the devil. Jeff I don't have any pics, as I normally just shoot them with my .40 or my 12 gauge.

    Would a trading section in the classifieds be useful

    Personally I would like to see a trade/ barter Only section, with no cross posting to other classifieds allowed of course. But what we want doesn't matter, change does not come easily.

    Dim brake light.

    No, you have some other issue. Either the lights themselves or wiring.

    Drove the Deuce...Some questions

    I'm betting the vibration is either from an out of balance tire or a tire with some water in it.

    M1070 recovery

    That's just how it works man. If money is involved, it will make zero sense. And yes, swift drivers are known nationwide for being terrible. That is why they are called steering wheel holders, not drivers.

    M1070 recovery

    Fix it. It isn't that bad. Way more work to part it out than it would be to just fix it.

    M1070 recovery

    In Louisiana if someone rear ends you it is automatically their fault. No ifs, ands, or buts.

    should i buy a 2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    I would say 14' max length. That should be plenty unless you have a family of six or something.

    should i buy a 2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    Yeah I don't see any reason it won't do what you need. The disk brake conversion will be good because calipers aren't nearly as likely to fail as wheel cylinders, so you'll gain some reliability and safety points to. Parts for them will be more available commercially too.

    should i buy a 2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    I wouldn't go over maybe 14' long for the box. I'm still sticking with the S280 shelter being the way to go for you, bu it's your horse. Ride it the way you want to.

    M1070 recovery

    Find a muffler shop and have them cut it open and hollow it out. If that isn't an option, go by a carwash and remove the muffler and use dish soap and the wash wand there to clean it out. We used to use dish soap and a pressure washer to clean out particular filters when they started putting...

    M543A2 Maybe

    Willie, I don't have any pictures of it nor do I have my towbar right now. I loaned it to another member to tow a 929 to Jacksonville with. Not only that, but it has been raining for the past two days.

    Old Garage Find: PE-75 Near MINT Genset!

    22 amps is pretty impressive for a six horse one cylinder gas burner genset. I think that is pretty close to what the mep003a genset puts out on 120vac.

    should i buy a 2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    You would be wise to spend a couple days reading down the lists of threads on the deuce in both this section and the deuce modification forum. Most of these things, including the rubber tunnel idea were covered in some depth very recently and some of our membership gets irritated quite easily...

    Oh not necessary, I use the standard wrecker whiffle tree and medium towbar. I only tow MVs.
