Priceless!![thumbzup]

Yup, not just from the cable either. We had a woman killed on the outerbelt a few years ago when a tow truck driver used a snatch block too small to retrieve a semi. I think it was rated at 10k. It flew apart under the load and went through her windshield as she drove by killing her. They...

I've always been told to drape a large floor mat or heavy blanket over the cable to help dampen the recoil if it fails. Unless you have a fairlead roller, ALWAYS pull with the reel directly lined up with whatever you're pulling. NEVER wrap the cable around itself or hook onto itself, it weakens...

Just an FYI to everyone, if you get an ABC dry chemical extinguisher, get one with a metal top not plastic. The ones with plastic discharge valves are disposable and CANNOT be refilled. I don't trust them to hold up to rough environments either. And go BIG, the ones the size of spray cans are...

Just a whole lot of poor planning in that video. The buildings should have been dismantled or torn down with the normal backhoe or trackhoe. Just because it looks cool doesn't mean you should do it.

The master cylinder has a slow leak, and the lights are iffy. The wife is already miffed that I'm buying it, and putting a charge on the credit cards for a tow truck would really tick her off since we got those all paid off.

I say old Bean, I'm quite well versed in the King's English. However from time to time I do slip into the vernacular of the younger crowd. It does keep me "hip" and "with it" don't you know. :-P

Somebody axed me if I was afraid of being pulled over driving it home. I'm not afraid of being pulled over, it's the tazed,shot,maced,incarcerated, and fined heavily thing....

Hey got your message before the thread got poofed, I got drill tomorrow so after 5 would be good to call.

I'm buying it, but it's never been titled. It was used on a farm so they didn't need one (the original buyer) The guy I'm buying it from is on leave so I have a time issue to get it moved. Don't think I can get it insured if it ain't got a title yet.

Seems like several people have the same of of a guy in a dirty brown tee with glasses and a mustache. Jasonjc, Westec, and a few others have it. Who's the guy? Just kinda wondering, is it a tribute or something? On one thread, every Avatar was the same and I thought at first someone was...

So hopefully this ain't a duplicate thread, don't want to get water boarded. :roll: But anyways, got a couple of people that suggested that I just drive my duece home, even though it doesn't have a title or plates. Some have said that they've done it. I just can't see that being a worthwhile...

Hey Franz, don't let 'em get ya down. Do it howyalike. I'm a newbie too. I plan on painting my Deuce OD green, then putting on a gloss clear coat. I want to find some chrome baby moons to put on too. And I'm going to replace the wood on the seats with oak and polyurethane it. That may get...

I wouldn't rent a furniture blanket from Uhaul, let alone a vehicle. They have some of the worst maintained equipment ever, driven by amateur drivers. I'd rent from anybody else. But I'd vote for putting the car in the bed.

I think the easiest way (barring having some heavy equipment) is to use 4x4 cribbing and bottle jacks. I have a couple of 8 ton bottle jacks that come in very handy. What exactly are you planning to do once you take it off? If you are going to do work on it, you can jack it up and leave it on...

Well I went and looked at it today, think I'm gonna get myself a deuce. It's got a lot of surface rust, but only a couple of spots on the bed and one fender are gonna need patched. It's got some body damage where the owners "friends" backed into a big tree. The bed and tailgate are bent...

OK, so got a line on a running duece at a VERY good price, of course no title. It's owned by a guy who is at least the second owner but I don't know if there's an SF-97 (?) for it yet. I'm gonna go take a look at it next week. The story is it runs good, body is decent, has a leaking master...

Stay safe over there! Hopefully they won't burn all them tires like they did to stuff in Iraq. aua

This should be obvious but, use two chocks, or if you only have one place it between duals or on the downhill side of the tires. I've seen lots of guys in the military just throw a chock down not paying any attention to which way is downhill. And don't forget to pick it up before ya take off!

That's fine if you keep your deuce in a labratory. :roll:
