Hey!! I got a Caravan too! That's my pickup truck until I get the deuce on the road.

It might be easier to install a belt driven Hyd. pump and then mount the head to the frame further back under the bed and run it off the hydraulics. I know that's how our firetrucks are configured. It takes up less space and you could mount it where it won't interfere with something else. You...

Congrats, and welcome. BTW, it's NEWBIE.

Do I really need a spare tire? That's what I think every time I look in the mirror....sigh

Sometimes you don't have a choice in what highway you need to travel on. But if you are on a 2 lane road, you should maintain a large interval in a convoy. For one, stopping distances are longer with MV's, and two, you should allow space for vehicles to pass when safe. If you pay attention to...

It could be worse. I've seen a lot of guys' love of their lives drive off down the road.... with their new boyfriend, and half of their stuff. You'll find a new love soon.

I didn't see anyone with that name in the members list, where's his AO? Is he selling them?

Had the same situation with a '95 Dodge, only it was my fault. I had just changed the oil and didn't close it all the way, and I knew about the recall but hadn't done anything yet.

I had a '95 Dodge and had the same situation except for the cell phone. And I had just changed the oil myself. And I had gotten the recall notice, but hadn't gotten around to getting it fixed. So I ended up cursing myself and bending everything back into shape myself. Only left a...

Sigh....

Not a truck, but I let Uncle Sam have my 18 1/2 years (NG) because I value my family more.... Yep, some things are more important than money or stuff.

Not sure what I want to use, that's down the list aways. I pretty much need to go through the whole truck first and get it on the road.

I originally thought about the winch extention pieces, but decided they were too pricey since I wasn't going to put in a stock winch. It would be cheaper and easier just to buy a W/W M35 than to add the parts. I can almost buy a 24v winch for the price of the frame extentions. Thanks for the...

Pulling the wheel is the right way to do it. You can get one of those Harbor Freight appliance dollies to get it off. If you have a smooth concrete pad to take it off on, you just have to raise the axle enough to just take the weight of the tires. Use bottle jacks to get the right height, but...

I got a couple of frame sections to extend the front bumper. I'm eventually going to put on an electric winch (too much cost and work to add a OEM winch to a WO/W). I have 14" sections to put on, and I bought some 1/4" plate to splice the extensions on. I have 2X18" wide pieces for the top...

Nice avatar Shenk, makes me want to watch the Herbie Hancock video. I love that song.

Don't smile if you have the windshield down, you get bugs in your teeth. :driver:

I used a hydraulic bottle jack (8 ton) and put the tire under the front of the deuce using the frame to jack against. It took me about 30-40 minutes to get it off the rim, but it's the first one I'd done in about 20 years. I have 3 more to do.

That's exactly right, because that's what they were for, to keep troops from falling out of the truck when the private driving for the first time dumped the clutch with 2 dozen troops in the back.
