    I don't fit in the truck!!!

    I am 5'10" and 301#. I can drive my Deuce just fine! Easiest solution is to replace the driver's seat with an air ride seat. I bought a set of used ones off Ebay. They are the short versions. Tall ones (base) are too high for the Deuce and take a lot to modify! THe short ones require about...

    Thanks for the nice compliment. FYI we live in Hurricane Country so it's important to secure the trailers in place if you want it to be there after the storm! Remember a little storm called Katrina?

    horn does not work

    The horn button uses the GROUND not the POSITIVE to function. Check the connection at the end of the steering shaft. That is where mine was disconnected. I accidentally grounded the horn once while installing. Never do that again!!fat lady sings

    Deuce fuel system update/overhaul

    I am probably going to get hassled for this but, I think you butchered the filter installation! I don't see why you didn't gut make an adapter plate and mount the filter heads slightly above. It would have eliminated the need to cut off the ears off the support plates. Also what happened to...

    Deuce locking fuel cap

    Here is an easy locking cap solution. With the tank fairly empty put some support under the strap nearest the fill cap. Remove the nut from the strap bolt and slide the bolt out the first hole. Use a piece of 1/4" flat stock...round the corners on one end and drill a hole larger than the bolt...

    OK today it stopped raining so I decided to finish the interior of the trailer. I needed to cap the door insulation so it does not get damaged. I had some leftover aluminum flashing roll that i had used to cap the exterior wood on my house. I used the flashing to cove the surface of the...

    Just a quick update! I purchased some 1/2" Tuff-R Rigid Insulation sheets to cover the inside of the doors. I managed to cut them out around the locking mechanisms and attach them to the doors with drywall screws. I installed 3 layers on each door. That gives them a R-10 value. I will be...

    I have to apologize in advance for not posting any pictures of the progress! I was going to take pictures today of the drywall after taping but got busy. I was motivated to get paint on the walls so I can complete the trailer project. I managed to paint the drywall in the trailer. I...
