    I want to get a Deuce.

    Keep in mind most of the super "cheap" insurance policies have severe restrictions on usage. Never mind that you are a teenager. Its most likely not going to happen. Call a few agents and hear what they have to say. We could be wrong.

    Tranfer case hodgepodge

    I'm a fan of the brown aircraft gasket goop myself. Makes the gaskets stay in their correct place for easy assembly.

    ballistic joints for dogbone, torque rod

    Yikes those are high. The ballistic fab heim joints are a bit cheaper and rebuildable. Though you would also need to fab a whole new dog bone. Still cheaper than the boyce version.

    Opinions Michelin XZL 365/85r20

    Do you know for sure the 365 is mpt? 22.5" wheels would need to be custom made. Though by the time you found a3 wheels and had plates made it might be the same or cheaper to just have wheels made. Call boyce equipment. They would probably be able to steer you in the right direction.

    ballistic joints for dogbone, torque rod

    Try contacting the manufacturer. I'm sure they could give you an idea of their strength. Most of those large heim joints are rebuild able also.

    ballistic joints for dogbone, torque rod

    As long as they are beefy enough to handle the weight of a deuce I don't see why they wouldn't work. I have seen 4 link suspensions take a nasty beating and hold up just fine.

    Duals vs Singles

    When we say flip the hubs we mean literally flipping the hubs themselves. This aligns the rear tires with the fronts when singled.

    injector line problems

    The HH o-rings and fuel control rod o-ring are a common culprit for oil contamination. Those and the fdc. If you have a fdc.

    Opinions Michelin XZL 365/85r20

    Everyone to their own, but if I were you, I would just run 6 395's or 14.00-20s and call it a day. Though, I will admit I'm a fan of super singles in most cases.

    The 395 is NOT mpt.

    Opinions Michelin XZL 365/85r20

    The 14.50-20 is mpt. The 365 may not be. I don't know either way honestly.

    Opinions Michelin XZL 365/85r20

    The issue with a3 wheels is the bead. It is an mpt bead. You can mount both mpt tires and non mpt tires on an a3 wheel. However, 5 ton wheels are non mpt beads. So ONLY non mpt tires can be mounted on them.

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    I have hammered on my lug nuts with a 3/4" impact for a good while before I realized I was going the wrong way.....whoooops. Never broke a stud though. My experience with broke wheel studs tells me when they break they were already on their way out. Unless of course your using extreme...

    injector line problems

    Id start with new injector lines. Cheaper than a new HH. Also, make sure it is leaking from the lines and not the center bolt on the HH.

    M35A2 - FLIPPING REAR HUBS TO SINGLE OUT A DEUCE.

    I do not suggest beating the old studs out. I'm not particularly worried about cracks as much as mushrooming the threads of the stud. Get a ball joint c-press. You can rent one from most auto parts stores or do like I did and buy one from HF. The studs will press out with my crappy 1/2"...

    New-Style (Short) Airpack Teardown & Repair with Photos

    Great write up. I wish I could help with the mystery o ring.

    M35A2 - FLIPPING REAR HUBS TO SINGLE OUT A DEUCE.

    Cause they like spending money? As long as you don't damage the studs you can reuse them. You should however get front lug nuts for the rear when running singles.

    New (Short) Style Airpack Rebuild Troubles

    That plunger is actually silver. It goes in one way and is held in place by a retainer clip if I remember correctly.
