So this afternoon, I was out in the garage tinkering on my M332 ammo trailer, and I wanted to check the air brake system. Since my Deuce doesn't have glad-hands at the moment, I had to devise my own way to check the system. So I put together a small manifold type thing so I could pressurize the...

I went to the Depot today to get some 24087 color Behr ultra using the codes from a thread by hcso1988. The lady told me that they were the old codes because HD has went to a new lower VOC paint formula's and the codes changed. She tried to mix up a small sample can for me but it isnt right...

Ok, so I know Im going to get alot of "this thread is worthless without pics" , but I just thought Id share any how. But to be fair, I work in a place where photography/video is STRICTLY forbidden... I was just outside having a smoke sitting on the driver step of my Deuce, and about...

So having decided a few months ago to turn my M109A3 into a guntruck, i have made a little progress. After trading the box for a bed and installing the bed, i had to rebuild my transmission. While she was in the Garage getting mended, i started painting it black. I didnt do much for paint...

So i find myself in need of a Transmission Adapter. I broke mine yesterday. So i thought id check in here first before calling all the Deuce suppliers, and see if any one here has a parts truck that still has a Trans. Adap. they could pull off and sell me. If so please PM me with your number...

When i removed my Fly Wheel the other day to get it resurfaced, i noticed there was a gasket between the trans adaptor and the back of the motor. It came apart in many peices and couldnt be saved. I dont know if i just have no idea where to look for stuff or they arent anywhere to be found. My...

SOOO i bit the bullet and went to the CA DMV yesterday. all in all wasnt bad, i got a month-long moving permit for my 109, and paid all the fees to get it registered and titled. although i do hate CA for its rules and sneeky ways of getting more money out of anyone that has anything other then a...
