    Painting a new steering wheel

    Try a small area first, and don't leave the stripper on too long, it might soften the plastic. there is a product called goof off which I have used with great sucess for removing paint and adhesive. also removes tree sap and tar.

    Newb here, question from the wiser Deuce owners

    Also, factor in your trip time because a deuce is going about 50 mph on flat ground. It will be a LOT slower on hills. Also factor in some states require a class B licence for vehicles with 3 axles over 10,000 gvw. I would rent the u-haul, move, then buy your mv.8-)

    Looks like the civilian model. I don't see the reliefs in the sides for the shovel, axe, and pick. Did the military models have these on all years? :???: What's under the hood?
