No doubt! I wish I could tell Google Maps what my "maximum" speed was so I could more accurately calculate the travel time (or provide alternate routes if said speed was too slow), instead of it assuming "posted legal maximum". rofl I'm impressed. Any excuse I give will seem trivial now.

Looking closely at your picture Mr. clinto, I can also see where the edge of the bracket used to be. These measurements put it pretty close to the edge. I decided I should probably maximize the visibility of my license plate mounted by the taillight. But thanks to clinto's measurements I feel...

You are a scholar and a gentleman, and legends should be written of your bravery and fortitude. But mandatory GA Rally attendance? Ouch (Assuming the same location as 2014)

Thank you Mr. Doghead, I did read that thread too. We both know there's many threads about reverse lights. I suppose my anal retentiveness wanted actual measurements and not just "close eyeball" from various pics. I know 1/2" won't matter but still. It's my nature.

Bump for the Saturday morning folks.

I am adding the A3 reverse lights setup to my A2. Example: Mine: If it is not too much bother, would a few of you A3 owners please be able to measure the distance from the corner of the bed to the edge of the bracket? I'm not expecting them all to be the same, but I'm just after a...

Just curious, if each of you would like to share - are those of you that are ordering more than 1 set doing so for multiple deuces or are you also locking out the forward tandem axle?

Yes - thank you. Fortunately I noticed the bushing on the inside of the spindle - same style of bushing as the king pins with little grease channels. I couldn't find any spec on that bushing's wear limits so since my king pins were also fine I just didn't worry about it (and the bushing was...

Yes, absolutely, 100%! 1 set for me

Not to be raising a thread from the dead (hey that rhymed) but applicable question here. The GL-5 80W90 gear oil I have does not specifically state it is safe for "yellow" (ie brass etc) metals. However, it does say that it is for use in most manual transmissions. Doesn't most manual...

Genius.

Not sure I follow. Just keep the hose and wheel (brake) cylinder attached to the plate with the brake shoes and hang the plate from that handle on the frame? I was rebuilding the wheel cylinders too though - and decided it was the proper time to upgrade to peashooter's braided stainless steel...

A few important tips I learned from doing this (warning: may not actually be right, just my observations as I had little to no previous experience to draw on): When disconnecting the passenger/driver flexible brake lines from the hard lines, there are actually 3 points: the hex end on the...

This thread makes me just a little ill. Mixed reviews for the silicon boots - I purchased from Erik's Military Surplus. I just finished putting them on and getting the front end buttoned back up. It was my first time doing any such servicing so it took me MANY, MANY hours. I would not like to...

I finished the camouflage paint job and had a larger spacer spacer made (2", vs the old 1") for a total spacing of 3" (I reused one of my previous 1" spacers) - no more twisting/flexing the side brackets wrong like I was doing. I also had the spacers made to the correct (flush) length this time...

What, no one mentioned adding sugar in the fuel tank yet? Besides the standard chain around the steering wheel, I personally opted for the non-destructive, non-permanent methods, such as: locking door handles (mostly just to prevent curious people with little social inhibitions from opening...

It is suggested you open the Passenger window (if no passenger) to avoid bugs in the face, or worse, still alive angry hornets. :cool:

Welcome to the forum and the madness! (PS, you'll want to put your State of residence in your profile location, it's part of the forum rules and will be chewed out later if not) I'm always of the camp that very few "need" a deuce or any former military truck for work or even recreational...

Even though the paint is so nice on the light bar, my duce just isn't desert tan. I finally decided to attempt to paint it to match with my new shipment of Rapco CARC brown & green substitute spray paint. I conveniently already had the light bar in pieces to fix the ballasts issue, so I masked...

A warning/heads-up to all Ibis Tek light bar owners: In my opinion, these Ibis Tek light bars have an issue with the internal metal brackets that are supposed to hold the HID Lamp Ballasts in place. These, in fact, are made of too flimsy of metal and vibrations or jars (even from just FedEx...
