    Mike, You gotta admit, HE HAD a good reason, right? I won't be changing mine, that's for sure. But it just shows how understanding you are. I'll add my thanks as well. I KNEW YOU WERE A NICE GUY. SHHH, we won't tell anyone else.

    Zeligson Crane truck

    AMX70, WELCOME to the Big Green Iron family. John, it's no big deal, but one of the few rules on this website is to post where you are. That way, if you need hands on help, someone close can volunteer. And I concur with Prerunner 1982 - I too would like to see some pix. Not that I can help...

    So you say you just GOTTA HAVE a FIFTY CAL on top???

    DID ANYBODY GO TO THE WEBSITE? What do you think of the sound? I'm doing research on this for a friend who is considering putting a pair up in the back of his WWII vintage Dodge Powerwagon. He wants the look and sound, but not the real thing. And while you guys are looking this over...

    Testing your Antifreeze/Coolant - Important Antifreeze Facts

    Boy am I glad someone brought this up. I did NOT know that diesel engines require a different anti-freeze. THX so much for posting this. Hey Bjorn, I've liked you new avatar so much, I'm considering mounting my boost and egt gauges in THAT exact position, so I can see them by just glancing...

    So you say you just GOTTA HAVE a FIFTY CAL on top???

    Here you guys go. The company name is Irac, Inc. - and the owners name is Steve. REALLY NICE GUY!! Go to his website and click on the picture of the guy laying prone firing a fifty cal. It will bring up a very short video of a THIRTY CAL firing. He says the fifty is twice as loud. AND when...

    Pics and have a laugh..............

    carguy, It appears your 'redline' sticker is on what, 2700? 2800? Just curious. It looks like you are running in third gear? My redline sticker is set at 2500. I wonder why that is? Just curious. jim

    The PURPLE CAMO DEUCE

    Ok, now that everybodies had their shot, I figured I'd give youse guys a little 'before' and 'after' shots. Understand that the picture that Gary 'changed to the Purple Camo' for me was of the second variety.

    The PURPLE CAMO DEUCE

    NO, NO, I would have to change the color to PANSY PINK for it to be a frisco deuce. And I'm disappointed. NO BARNEY JOKES???

    The PURPLE CAMO DEUCE

    OK, I had Polverone Photoshop paint my deuce so I could 'get a feel' for what it could/would look like if I went with a 'purple camo' scheme. After looking at it for about a week, it kind of grows on me. I sent a larger picture back so he could darken the light purple to medium purple and...

    Mini writeup on new wheels

    I know this has been posted here before, but this thread screams for the tire calculator from one size to another. So if you were running 37's and are now at 45's... At what was previously 55 mph you would be going 67 mph at what, about 2300 rpm in the cat? Here's the site ...

    What steering gear to get to add power steering to Deuce?

    Try a Ross HF 54 power steering box. It's BEEN done on other deuces. Gringletaub (Gerhard) did an excellent write up on his. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3094&highlight=oil+grade And it looks like it belongs. Can't get much better than that.

    Crappy Deuce story

    Given my previous hobby was riding Harleys (15 plus years) that I sold due to the meds my doc has me on. It just took that half second away that you need to stay alive. A good friend had been wanting one for the past five or six years. So I told him to have his wife call me and tell me it's...

    Do you need a working in tank FUEL pump??

    I've only had two positive "I WANT ONE" from different members. That probably won't get us anything more than the price I listed above. If we want some kind of discount, we will need to place an order for more than ten. I must admit that I have left this on the side burner, hoping that...

    New Soy Oil as fuel

    Bjorn, IF all we are trying to do is to lower viscosity, then why would the lye/methanol be the ONLY way to go? I'm still considering running some form of veggie oil mixed with either/or/and Naptha/Acetone. I currently run acetone as an additive in regular diesel. Having said that, I figure...

    A very ODD electrical problem

    40grit, Good thought. I have already sanded the insides of all the lamp connectors AND the rounded contacts so there is clean metal there. I am just missing something. I don't know what. My left hand turn signal works great. And inside it was really ratty until I cleaned it up also. thx...

    A very ODD electrical problem

    Harley, Yes, I got the wiring diagram. THX SO MUCH. No, I have not gotten the right turn signal working yet. I'm hip deep in a master bath remodel that I have about a week and a half to finish before my MIL shows up. Can't have the house in disarray when she gets here. Not sure about the...

    A very ODD electrical problem

    Actually YOU will be tested the longer you are a member here. Because at some point, you will find YOUR niche in our green iron world and have the answers that no one else has. Randy and I were discussing options on the oil filter spin on filter today. He's going to remove the oil filter base...

    Diablo Build Update (pics)

    Dman, Consider FATMAT instead of Dynamat... I've purchased 200 sq ft. shipped for like $220. That's FOUR rolls of 18" x 50 ft (I think). I've yet to purchase a DB meter so I can do sound measurements before and after I install the deuce so I can report back. Here's their link...
