First, the KUDOS for this go to RANDY BARNES. He came over to my place yesterday and showed me a wheel/tire combo. It is a six lug (on 9" centers - same as deuce wheel) that is 22.5" height. I believe that it's 7" wide wheel. It's a 22.5" 6 lug 'BUD' wheel. It was used on older...

Ugg013, I just got off the phone with Memphis Equipment and they get $16.75 for the rear channel and $17.90 for the front channel. Of course, you will want to do both doors, so you can double that... At least I AM.

DrF, The guy's going to SHIP IT to you now?? So we aren't going to SOCAL now? Let me know. Major bummer as I was looking forward to 'da trip' to go get it, but nice if you can still get the deal you told us about. Let me what you need. Had a great time today. JR and Savannah are great...

Mike, I LIKE the mudflap idea. And I probably won't mount the front plate. Just leave it in the glove box. Brad900, Yeah, what other vehicle can you drive around town and the cops just wave. I have had that exact experience with no plates AT ALL. thx folks jim

My truck has passed emissions. I have waded through the lines at DMV and got my truck registered and have my Collectors License plates. Though I had to pay for five years at a pop for the Collectors plates, as long as it has these plates and I'm the owner I don't have to get the vehicle...

Lee, No offense, but you are talking about an industry that calculates whether or not a given failure will cost 'X' in lawsuits. As long as it doesn't exceed their ability to make money, a given number of customer deaths and resulting dollar losses via lawsuits are 'acceptable'. The American...

I told my wife she can BURY ME in my 1991 Suburban... My company name is "White River". Our 'children' are Great Pyrenees, which is what's in that logo. Whiter River is what they call an avalanche up in the high country. One day I saw all our 'kids' running down a slope and it reminded me...

Kenneth, While I do understand the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. I come from the 'there is ALWAYS a better, easier way to do something'. Otherwise we would all still be riding horses and shoveling... well, you know ... I LOVE all the old iron out there. And it's MY opinion that...

It appears to be the 'BROWNING' logo on the front of your 'mini hot rod tractor puller'. Is this correct? Why did you pick that particular logo? LOOKS WAY KEWL of course, just curious.

Just as an addendum. He posted a picture of that 'fab job' of the five ton winch on his deuce. It's down near the bottom on this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3850&postdays=0&postorder=asc

Lee, I DO UNDERSTAND where you are coming from. And we each march to the beat of the drummer of our choice. Having said that, the US MILITARY is currently putting Royal Purple through it's 'testing program' and have been for several months. I have NOT heard the outcome yet. BUT if the US...

Kenneth, My gunsmithing instructor had a saying that always stuck with me. "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying" And I always liked Richard Petty's definition of luck. "95% preparation, 5% opportunity" Sounds like we ALL subscribe to both those concepts...

I concur with what everyone has said here. You seem to skip over the part of "30,000 miles change the filter". Pick your number, you will still be purchasing a second filter. I realize paper IS normally cheaper. I spent $44 for the K&N and it's going to take at least a week to get here...

Allow me, if you will, a couple of observations from what you've said. 1) K&N is a GOOD REUSABLE FILTER. 2)Freeing up the intake and exhaust on a diesel will lower your exhaust gas temperature, and it CAN allow you to inject more diesel into the cylinders, which WILL create more power, but it...

Mangus, DUH, didn't even THINK about that one. thx Well, I just looked. It gives engine, cooling system and fuel. No tranny, transfer or diffs. IT DOES give the LO manual numbers for those. Learning, learning, learning... RDD, Thx. Sixbuy, I'm working on it. rdixiemiller is going to...

RDD, Now that you brought this subject up, I've been reading both the TM's and doing searches. I have yet to find how MUCH gear oil goes into the axles. As my front's are leaking, I want to add some until I have the time to check the seals (which I will have to get) and replace the boots...

IDAMAN, You've got some seriously KEWL toys!!

Idaman, NICE RIDE. Is that a 300? Love your sig pix. Brings back memories from 'back in da day'. I can't find Ola on a map of Idaho. My outlaws (inlaws) live in Meridian, just outside Boise for everyone else. So, where is OLA? Welcome to our forum. The people here are GREAT! And always...

OK, I searched the forum and read several threads that mentioned using the LED's. The main complaint seemed to be that they were not as bright. I found that odd, as every LED bulb (12V) I've compared against a normal (12V) bulb out performs in every category, including brightness. SO, being...

Kenneth, Does that means it's broken or has just 'fallen off'? If broken off, I have to replace the switch as a unit? Or can I 'rebuild' it? That's what I LOVE about these trucks. You can just about rebuild every item on the truck.
