I love that picture! And it shows this truck carrying AT LEAST two spare tires. Of course, driving with that sign in place must be challenging. LOL

poppop, If you need help with resizing pictures, send me an email and I'll try to help. What type of software are you using to resize the pix with? Worst case, send them to me, I'll resize them so they can be a little bigger and send them back. jim whiterivr@msn.com

Dennis, Are you running regular sized tires? When I go 60, with my larger tires I am actually doing 68 mph. So, is that speed correct with regular tires or are you going faster? Thx. jim

Dude, In the current LMC book for the Blazer/Jimmy on pg 113 on the bottom half, you should look at parts 7,8,9,10 for the 81 - 91 4wd Blazer/Jimmy. Hope that helps. jim

Well I've posted this request once before. DOES ANYONE have a spare bridge plate. Don't need the numbers, just the round plate. Thx. jim

Well, took her out for a spin. Other than having to keep the passengers window up, much quieter. Even with the window down, I think it was quieter. Gotta get that DB meter and find out. jim

OK, I loosened the top of the exhaust pipe, the one that has the ninety degree bend at the top. I actually removed it and THEN started the engine. Much quieter, BUT exhaust smoke level started about the top of the hood and went straight up. No big deal sitting in my driveway, but I'm...

Starting on page 112, there is a five page spread on a deuce that Boyce Equipment loaned (sold?) to the Diesel Power magazine editor. It's long on pictures and short on words. AND not all the facts are correct, but he was close. I already sent a nice 'atta boy' type email to the editor who...

According to RandyLBarnes, who is a diesel mechanic for a trucking company, the CORRECT method is to tighten the axle nut ALL the way down until the wheel does NOT move. That seats the bearing properly. Then loosen the axle nut. Tighten down to 'finger tight'. THEN one quarter turn after...

Robert, The strange part is my passenger side mirror brackets ARE already bent like that. I always thought it was a little weird, but figured there used to be a muffler attached. I have NOW perused the NAPA website. I looked at Ag mufflers, HD Truck mufflers, and Universal mufflers. Found...

www.harborfreight.com THE WHOLE 3/4" set is about $40! http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=3994 Yeah, the quality MIGHT be a little iffy, but you get 21 pieces and you are bound to be able to use some of the other ones as well as the one for the budd wrench.

If I had an M109 with the box on the rear, SURE I would consider it. But that 110v is gonna be a killer. You KNOW it's gonna want mega amps on start up... Can't wait for dman to get his done. Should be a clean install we are all envious of. jim

I've seen a picture of someone who took a solargizer charger plate and covered it top and bottom with what appeared to be 1/4 or 1/8 plexi. Cut it a bit larger than the charger plate, sealed the sides with what looked like clear silicon sealant. Just had the two wires that went down into the...

I'm waiting for a little warmer weather and a few spare days. I've got the rubber gaskets. For the deuce I got mine at Saturn. Doesn't look that difficult to install. Then fix a rear seal leak. And install new front axle boot. I've got them also but haven't had the time. When I was...

If you don't have the TM CD from Robert (rdixiemiller), then you are missing a bet. He has a TM just for the Multifuel transmission.

HRD, +1 on the stock rear window being WAY too small. With the vinyl top on it's not as big a deal, because vision out the back is limited. BUT with no top or folding seats/side slats mounted, vision out the rear isn't bad. IF you remove the tail gate, the vision is better still. So, unless...

DM, YOU KNOW I love your work. But that window just looks too pick up truck. Could you have taken the two non moving pieces out and then had them cut down so they would be rectangle (square?) and then modified the down arms to bend flat? Yes, it's a lot of work and I'm NOT SURE it would be...

Jose, Your English is much better than my SPANISH. Love the look of your truck. We LOVE lots of pix. Feel free to give us the grand tour of your truck. And don't forget to ask for help. Though you are far away, you are still a member of the family. You know, the Big Green Iron family. jim...

Kenneth, Is that YOUR truck? I like the passenger hand grab above the glove box. Did it come that way or is it an add on. I could really use something like that and haven't found one yet. jim

jcd-m34, Welcome to Steel Soldiers. That a really nice looking truck. I particularly like the headlights. What causes the yellow tint? Is that for Spanish highway driving? Again, welcome to Steel Soldiers. Where in Spain are you? North, south, east or west? jim
