thanks guys

so, I have snapped my winch cable and have gotten to the point of removing the brass ferrule out of the hook cable end fitting for the winch... unfortunately in removal it became... well... impossible to reuse. That being said, anyone have a source on these? My search both on this site and...

unfortunately the welding wasnt me, I do not possess TIG welding skills at this time, however I have been enlightened to stainless MIG welding, I figure I can produce something the same strength and external appearance, but welds on the inside will appear a little bigger. looks like a welder...

dont take it rock crawling... you will be building new steps and if lucky your fuel tank will only get dented up.

by the way, here are a couple pictures of the underside of the steps installed on the deuce, if I had a wide angle lens I could have gotten it in one shot. Like I mentioned earlier, all the support on the bottom is just an extra piece of stainless bent to a 45 and then tig welded in 1 inch...

With the enlisted review board going around, I have been forced to think more and more about jobs outside the navy, and after seeing the responses in this thread it has gotten me thinking that same way. Who knows, I might just get into the business of fabricating deuce parts.

I can take pictures of the bottom of the steps, but they will be installed pics, they are basically a 3 inch strim of the same stainless steel, bent to a 45* and TIG welded in 1 inch strips along the edge.

I would love to build more of these to sell, however I can catch a lot of **** using uncle sam's equipment and material for "monetary gain" I just do not have the tooling to build these on my own. If you have a box and pan brake, TIG welder, and a drill (drill press preferably) it just takes a...

tools for the trip... You should only need standard tools, I would say both a wrench and a socket set from 3/8 on up to 1 1/2" along with a few crescent wrenches (small, medium, and large) Make sure you have a breaker bar, extensions, swivels, and a cheater pipe. ensure you have the tools...

so a few weeks ago, work for us in the airframe structures shop was dead. I knew I needed a new battery box as mine is nearly non existent due to rust. I also needed new steps as I had mangled mine while trying to go rock crawling in the deuce with my offroad club. Our LPO (Leading Petty...

NAPA 3511 is primary fuel filter NAPA 3512 is secondary fuel filter There you go, just to get you started. Now please use the search function next time. :beer:

I had my deuce winched out of a mud pit by a 3500 ram with a 12k electric winch on a single line pull, seemed to work just fine, so it stands to reason that it should work just fine mounted on a deuce in place of the PTO winch.

sorry, dont mean to hijack, but thats a classy cargo cover there, do you have a thread somewhere with more details on it?

I have been running around for a bit with a nice little noise that can best be described at the time as a carrier bearing going out. I had a friend who runs an offroad shop ride with me trying to help me pinpoint the source of the sound. Nearest we could figure is it was the transfer case. I had...

I ran with one dead battery for a while and apparently had a fairily loose terminal, It blew out the terminal and damaged the wire clamp. I figured this was just as good a time as any to get new batteries. Instead of using original equipment batteries, I bought a pair of commercial batteries...

I kept the bushings (solid bearings), they are the same as what you have pictured, and my pivot hubs have the grease fittings as well. And a bit of clarification on the position of the solid bearings, upon removal of the dust cover, the outside edge of the outer bushing was flush with the...

I figured as much as well, but just for peace of mind I bent down 4 tabs.

I unfortunately did not get a picture before I jacked it up and took it apart, but I just ran out to the truck and measured the distance between the spring pack and the frame and found they are about 1 3/4 to 2 inches apart. when the spindle nuts backed out the spring pack started to work its...

So a couple weeks ago I was talking to a few coworkers about how the rear suspension worked on the deuce. as we were standing next to the truck I had noticed that my leaf springs were farther away from the frame than they should have been by about a couple inches. I removed the dust cover to...

this unless you really plan on running A LOT of 12v goodies, then I personally would go with your scenario 2a.
