    Running oil in a Deuce?

    my 2 cents says #014 viton O-ring for yer manifold heater injector nozzle. The buna-n O-ring thats standard in the fuel nozzle may disintegrate eventually with your alternative fuels mix. You don't have to replace it, but having a 25 cent replacement piece on hand is worth it--when switching...

    Pickup at Hill AFB, Clearfield Utah

    here's an idea for ya, I've spoken with the guys at boyce equipment before regarding a tire purchase from them, they offered to get them shipped up to me through a local outfit, I'm kind of fuzzy on the price, but I seem to remember them being in the $100 range to haul up to the snake river...

    Pickup at Hill AFB, Clearfield Utah

    I've picked up a couple of large toolboxes from there earlier this year, the young man who loaded me out was friendly, not in a hurry, and competent with a forklift. I think there might be a recovery service local to Hill that will grab your goodies in an orderly manner, for a fee (of course)...

    Removing the tire from the wheel

    WWTSD? If Tom Sawyer were there, he'd be auctioning off your wheels with bald tires intact to the highest bidder. Think whitewashed fence...and children who have no duece wheel/tire swings under their trees. If you don't do it for yourself, please--think of the children.

    Utah State Tax Commission - Fuel Tax Frequently Asked Questions - Fuel Taxes this might steer you in the right direction. You may not be considered a supplier, but I think that the small things we do to prep our fuel might categorize us as distributors, i.e. refining and compounding. Looks...

    Budd nut from ****

    which capacity is cut in half? payload, or gross weight? Truck weighs 13k lbs, 10k on-road carrying capacity. That's 23k lbs. By removing 4 tires, let's assume that you're reducing capacity by only 40%. So we should be ok to carry 60% of 23k lbs, or 13,800 lbs. If your truck has a winch, it...

    Budd nut from ****

    when I was looking to single out, I had 3 options: buy 3, 5, or 7 tires. I know I'm probably going to catch all sorts of guff for owning up to considering all 3... If you buy 3 of the super singles you're looking at, you can put the bigger tires on the front, and still have a spare for the...

    Budd nut from ****

    I tried singling out the 9.00's, it seemed like it caused the singles to wear out in nothing flat. Save a few dollars now, pay a lot more later. From experience, I suggest you look at other options.

    Budd nut from ****

    It looks like a common theme on the thread (and in my life) is a waaay long bar, and some weight. How long of a bar could reasonably and safely be stowed in the void under the bed, between the frame rails? (Try not to picture me doing a weird pole vault jump off the bed, trying to break a...

    Acceptable price for WMO

    a cheap way to get an estimate of water presence may be to draft a bit off the bottom. Have a small pipe with a latex glove rubber-banded on one end (the top, dry end). dip the pipe "straight down" into the barrel, try to get the open end all the way to the bottom (where water will settle) and...

    Acceptable price for WMO

    one tip might to put 50cents, negotiable. You'll definitely jump at the chance to pay for some honey-colored lube that may have been deemed "contaminated", but you want to be able to go down if you've got some wicked milky swirls in black or brown oil, that you know contains moisture or...

    Overland Park Ks bans Mv's at home

    Don't know what kind of police cars Overland Park uses, but if I were to fight an infraction like that, here's how my defense would go: Stage 1: Me: Sorry about the misunderstanding, but my 1965 Jeep was made for the fire department, according to what's been told to me. Prosecutor: It's...

    Stupid Insurance Agent

    I think you hit the nail on the head. Many companies differ what they will cover from state to state, as well as vary in premiums, even down to which zip code you live in. I can't imagine that Allstate will say no to waayfast and yes to me, so it looks like I might need to do some investigating...

    Please don't be this guy(pics inside)

    guy in the video should have a spare timber to replace the one that he's smoking. Or (just maybe) a spare tire. Is that right? Was that wood smoking as he was cruising down the road? Sounds like the headlines for a darwin award... Guy lights himself on fire by catching wooden trailer tire...

    Deuce paddle wheel?

    dang robert, you might be just the man I need to talk to! do you have any pictures of your setup? It seems like people can never agree on which setup to use, I think it's mainly due to geography. Out here in Idaho, it seems like only 2 things will get you stuck (barring getting high-centered on...
