    M35A3 Wheel Quotation is 'in'

    I'll put that on the Christmas list.... Christmas 2020, maybe. ;)

    Looking to buy a pyrometer.

    Pretty much. I'm 6'6" but thankfully for my deuce ownership, alot of that is legs. :)

    Looking to buy a pyrometer.

    Here's what my junk looks like. This is taken from pretty much the exact place my head sits when I'm driving.

    Looking to buy a pyrometer.

    Funny... I was going to use the location where the bright indictor went, as well.... it made the most sense. :) I made a little angled box out of some 18 ga or something, and screwed it to the dash on the left hand side of the steering wheel. I also used a 75ohm drop resistor and some factory...

    Anyone interested in Air Locking Diffs for the deuce?

    Tom, you are such a tease! Hey dude, I got some Ouverson shafts on Friday for some rear steer goodness. They. Rock.

    Super Single?

    Stock width on the rears is "narrow", based on the stock position of hubs being flipped "in". Stock width on the fronts is "Wide", based on the stock hubs being flipped Out. Stock front hubs are "wide" not only because the rears are DRW (Dual rear wheel), but it also gives the fronts about 5...

    baby HEMTT update

    I don't know why, but I really, really really like that. It reminds me of an insect... the big space between "head" and "body".

    Anyone interested in Air Locking Diffs for the deuce?

    Ok, guys, if you are solid on your demand for lockers, you need to email that gentleman from ARB, state your application, and be prepared to pay up front. This is not an "If, Maybe" show of hands... it's an "When, YES!" survey. Just saying, if you're not replying to Tim, your voice is likely not...

    How many miles should I expect from an LDT 465

    In that case, you have 6 months left in your engine's life. ;)

    Anyone interested in Air Locking Diffs for the deuce?

    http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=437909 I can definitely use at least one of these lockers to allow my buggy to actually [thumbzup] steer and not just "skid steer". ;)

    Pulling a gooseneck trailer with a Deuce

    Dunno if the field will get powered or not.... I have a barely functional grasp of alternator tech.

    Pulling a gooseneck trailer with a Deuce

    Just a reality check - any alternator always needs to be connected to a battery, even a dead battery, or it will fry itself. Cheers Bob

    Hubs

    If a race spins SLIGHTLY in what it's driven into, there are ways of getting it to seat regardless. Of course, if the bore is slightly wallowed out unevenly, you will lose the alignment inherent to the original press or interference fit, but most of the time, if the race just BARELY moves or...

    M35 Top Speed increase?

    Hi Robert, Eh, pretty solitary work here... I'm making a little angled panel for the pyro. It's alot of sheetmetal work... lots of hammering, welding, grinding.... but I'm a couple hours away from being done. Man, I just wish I were more motivated today. I've had just a killer week so far...

    M35 Top Speed increase?

    The kinetic energy difference between 60 and 65 MPH isn't that much of a killer... You're only talking about a 17% increase in braking distance. For me, the coolest part about increasing the gearing is lowering RPM's AT 60 and AT 65... not necessarily trying to break the sound barrier by going...

    Hubs

    Yes yes yes!!! The hubs are totally the same ones, front to back. If you bang the studs out, either use a press (slow and steady) or use a brass headed hammer. I go two steps further.... I hold a brass block on the top of the stud and hit THAT with big hammer, to make sure I don't ding the...

    "drip gas" in a multifuel engine

    That's a bummer that you can't mix it with something like old motor oil and run it through that old beast. :) Bob

    Fun, Fun, Fun, another deuce is on the way!

    Dude I was like, "where's my pics!!!!" I'll wait until next weds, then. :) Bob

    M35 Top Speed increase?

    Again, Robert, putting an overdrive box behind the tranny is not so much a matter of cutting down the driveshaft, as it is moving the whole transfer case back a foot or so to fit such a device in there. See, the tranny and transfer case are pinned together by a tiny little "spud shaft", which...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Yeah, that's the hope - you're just dropping the voltage with a resistor, the resistance of which is dependant on the current used by the device. I should have it all done by later this week. What day is it today, Weds? Yeah.
