Channel iron frame U-bolted thru the bed to the truck frame. Winch bolted to the front end of it. Tractor link ends welded into heavy pipes for the A frame pivots with flat plates welded to the top with a hole for the chain from the front of the frame to the top of the A to hold it up (planning...

NO worries. I'll get one. :-)

I'm wantin' one but I dunno about gettin' one from there to here...

Gotta have spare parts right?

That's hardcore wheelin'.

Wow, very interesting cranetruck! That is very little bulge for that much weight and low pressure. Thanks. As short a side note for those who may not be familiar, bias ply is whole different ball of wax. Tougher tire, but not as good for speed.

Saw the pics. Looks like a good setup, maybe take some pics with the camera on the ground from the side as well as front so the contact patch is more easily seen. Which reminds me of another thing to watch, the length front to back of the contact patch. Kinda unrelated, but someone pointed...

The wandering is probably following "ruts" in the pavement from big rigs, etc. Here's an interesting one I haven't seen before. How to Determine the Best Tire Pressure Another way I read was to measure from the ground to the edge of the rim with the tire at max pressure and with no...

Good posting guppy. (And everyone really) I love the sharing of tech know! Are the Fuller 6 speeds synchroed?

Yeah, not really overinflated, but more than you need. Downside = poor ride and handling = tracking/wandering. Tread might wear out fater in the center leaving the shoulder lugs unworn. What style tire are you running? ZLs are pretty nice and flat, MLs are kinda round and XLs are real round. You...

Where's the calendar?

I got plan B for ya. I live out here. There's lots of other places to go, where you don't have to be street legal. I'd love to "host" a run. Dying to go wheeling in a deuce...I know it's a drive for a lot of you but there's lots of places to play. There's also mountains closer to you guys...

IN. I'm also in need of an offroad run :-D

Yeah. Straight, flat country roads, very slowly. Don't try this at home..., you know the drilll. :-D

So what's kind of an average/max price for govliq? Thanks for helping out this noob.

I'm not a deuce guru (yet) but I run a machine and welding shop where we do driveshafts and truck chassis repair and modifications. SOP for DL length is once you get it all put together, measure form the center of the tcase ujoint (face of the yoke) to the one on the axle. Take this dimension...

What about buying a deuce from someone like hundy? his prices seem very reasonable, I can't pay 7k for a truck and don't care if it's purty, but the GL thing seems like a big gamble.

I was 22,800# here. I took it real easy. When I got on it a bit, she felt like she was threateneing to throw parts on the street. I broke a 1410 series Dana 80 pinion yoke towing a crewcab Super Duty through rough terrain uphill. Driveshaft took out the fuel tnak on it's way out. Low speed...

Seems fitting for a mil forum to have a salute smiley. www.socalultimate4x4.com uses one. I don't know how that works, maybe you can get it from there?

When I got my dodge it had 37" SSRs. When they wore out I put 11.00 16 XZls on 6.5" wide wheels that I had run on my blazer on the dodge. It was wobbly on the freeway. I also tried 325/85/16 XMLs on 8" wheels, same problem. Now I have 325s on 10" wheels = very nice. The narrow wheels will help...
