Well, I FINALLY had a long chat with the officers at the Colorado Highway Patrol office here in Denver. They said AS LONG as it was a privately owned vehicle and it WAS NOT used for commercial purposes, I could run recaps on the front. Having said that, I await the report from Randy Barnes...

On another topic, rizzo said something like "you aren't looking at this problem correctly". While I was driving down the highway the other day, that statement became an epiphany. I've always felt that if the tranny was a six speed or an eight speed, life on the highway would be much nicer...

Hey RICE, I've got one for you. When I went in to transfer the title for my deuce, the guy at the desk said my truck weighed 6400 lbs. I said, "Uh, I think it's more like 13000 lbs". His response was, "Not according to THIS title" and held up the previous owners title. Not being a person...

4-stroker, YOU should produce these on a custom order basis! I bet there could be a market place for these!! EXCELLENT WORK!!! jim

In Colorado, we can drive any vehicle over 25 years old with collectors plates as long as we like. colyork, THX. I'll have to talk to them and see if they can sell me insurance out here in Colorado. jim

colyork, Well that beats me hands down. Could I get the name of that company for next years insurance? Either pm or email me. Take your time, as my insurance just took effect for one year. jim

jw4x4, WELCOME! Glad to have SOMEONE to keep Kenneth in line. If he steps out too much, give us one of 'those' stories I'm sure you keep for just such an occasion. Again Jerry, welcome. jim (w)

Colyork, I don't know who you will use for insurance. I used Gulfway Insurance out of Florida. We have an agreed upon value of $5000. It cost me $283 a year. MY PLATES are collectors plates and in Colorado you pay for five years at a time. That was a little over $525. But the plate says...

houdel, I like the way you approach this problem. I will start looking for the right sized O-Ring. I'll get with Randy Barnes and see what we can come up with and report back. I'm getting ready to do the 'super single' conversion, so now is the time. jim

John, Welcome! I was exactly where you are now, back in November. I finally got the wife to agree to let me get 'a new toy'. It was actually her idea so I would 'get out' more. ANYWAY, I looked. AND LOOKED. Talked to everybody. It's like this. If you purchase a deuce from a company that...

This is an excellent topic. You caused me to have to go out and actually look at my battery box. I have both style of cables. Coming into and going out of the box, the cables are marine style bolt holes. The jumper is a car battery style. So I guess that it is simply up to the guy who...

xyzzy, Congrats on your M1008! I've been watching the weather and it looks like the mtns have been getting pounded for the past week or so. That makes this the PERFECT vehicle for riding around Aspen. I'm sure you'll get plenty of thumbs ups, salutes and waves! Welcome to the green iron...

Ken, I should have been clearer about the J pipe. When you say 'wasted', exactly what's wrong with it? I'm considering some 'mods' and didn't want to cut up my good one. So a 'wasted' J pipe would be perfect for me. IF you don't mind salvaging it and just putting it in the pile. I WILL...

Well guys, I'm going to add another one. I've started leaving my transfer case in neutral. I am going to have to drill out the hole a little bit so my lock will fit. But unless you know exactly what you are doing, jumping in a deuce and starting it up isn't that easy. And if you leave the...

Ken, ABSOLUTELY. Did you ever contact Todd Cantrell about your radiators? I know he had two running trucks that he's cutting up. I got a fuel tank. He even found a guy who is a deuce owner who is willing to steam clean it (at my cost) before shipping so Hazmat is no charge, according to...

Kenny, I could use the turn signals (even if they don't work) and the turn signal covers. ANYTHING electrical. Plus the two engine side cowls AND the J pipe exhaust. If you can spare the window frames (doors and the front window) I'd take them also. Only if you can spare it. I'm collecting...

I've been wading through the mud that is the DOT website. It's pretty bad, as they don't just say. PLUS, I have read that if it's earlier that 1972 (it could have been 1974), the rules don't apply unless it's for commecial usage. I'll go by the Colorado Highway Patrol and talk to a buddy of...

M1075, If Randy doesn't have a digital camera, I do. When he comes over, I'll get lots of pictures from numerous angles. I'll be happy to send them to you so you can pick and choose. Let me just say that his Super Singles look GREAT. 315/75R/22.5. They are BFG's (I think) with an awesome...

Chuck, About shipping the troop seats. Just call DHL. THEY are trying to OUT DO Brown. I've got a fuel tank, a pair of air tanks and a lot of little bits and bobs coming from NY. They were even willing to ship the fuel tank, as long as it had be drained a month or so ago. Granted, they...

I'm vascillating. I have YET to mount the four wheels/tires I purchased. The main reason is I don't know if I HAVE to have new or retreads for the fronts. That and I just can't make up my mind. And then Randy had one of his tire suppliers tell him he had seven Michelin 12R22.5's at 75% for...
