:lost: Thanks, one of many misunderstandings today.

The SS website is undergoing major changes right now. We have a new classifieds forum. There used to be several trucks (if not a few hundred) listed in there for sale around the country. In the change the classifieds got cleared out. I am asuming those trucks that are for sale will start to...

Its not the spare. I had .98 tons (according to the scrap yard), thats just shy of 2000lbs in the bed of my bobber and it didnt even squat half an inch.

I'm not trying to change your mind or disagree with you here, just giving suggestions......... If you're going to cut the frame of the truck then why worry about making a modification to the suspension that is easily reversible back to stock. You can knock out the rivets and remove the whole...

You can get a set of snapring pliers ( http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/retaining-and-lock-ring-pliers/pliers/hand-tools/ecatalog/N-96y ) They can be found at most hardware stores or sears. Or you can try 2 flat blade screwdrivers. Place one in the slot where the ring is split. Twist that...

If you go back and look at the pic (your pic that I added the arrow to) there should be a snap ring where The red arrow is pointing to.

thats it. Thanks:razz:

Exactly what I was going to say. That stuff will only coat the tire not the rim. Some of it may drip off the top side once you stop rolling but chances of it ever getting into the exact spot the o-ring may be leaking, slim. (very)

Not 100% sure but is there a c-clip (or ring clip, can't think of the name right now) on the big circular pivot point? The kind that you need those special pliers with the points on the end the fit into holes on the clip to spread it apart enough to slip it off the tube? (boy, that really makes...

Trust is something that is earned, not bought. I know what your saying but I see it this way, I'm on here enought to know who I can trust without question. You see them on all the time and you know their names and reputation at a glance. If I see something in the classifieds that I want but...

I know you A3 guys hate seeing me post in your threads, but........ Please swap those front tires to the rear. There have been several tires come apart front sitting flat for long periods of time or being moved around the yard on flat tires. It appears that the tires come apart from the...

DH is right. We have over 30,000 members but if you go the the member list and start looking you'll notice that the majority of them have zero posts and haven't signed on in months/years. They sign up one time because its free (and still is if all you want to do is lurk/look at pictures) to...

Ok lets put it this way. Its not stock as in it was ordered by the military from the factory that way, nor is it part of any modification or parts kit you would find in any manuals. It may have however been installed by the Army unit that last had the truck. There are alot of shop built boxes...

Or solved a few. The world is over populated with stupid people as it is.

Exactly. The springs on a stock tandem are very stiff and meant to absorb small bumps on the road. The articulation for off road manuvering comes from the axles pivoting on those center bearings. You lock those down, you lose all the articulation. That would be one very rough riding bobber.

That truck is now owned by a SS member.

That "guard" is not stock. A cargo cover may fit over it but with the sharp corners it will rub hole in the front of the cover in no-time. Personally, I would cut it off.

Ahhhh! Don't let me lose my subscriptions! I won't be able to tell who I have and have yet to agrrivate on here. (insert razz smiley here, since the smiley's are currently AWOL on my end) Seriously, Glad to see we are NOT on a rudderless ship as some have thought. Can't wait to see some of the...

Ah, my daily drivers for the past 20 years have all been Jeeps so I know what you mean. :razz:

Don't you think that might be just a little important?
