    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Welcome back! Sorry to hear you had to give up your truck. My wife has a 2012 JK she bough new. It’s been a half decent vehicle once Chrysler got their cylinder head issues figured out on the 3.6. If you have any clock spring related problems, check with the dealer, it will most likely still...

    Looking good David! Your probably going to want to X brace, or triangulate, at least the bottom arms in some way. You’ll be amazed at the pushing power of these trucks.

    FYI, non-ferrous. Typically no iron content in aluminum, except contamination...

    Not a great location if that tire ever kicks up something big or blows out, also don’t think bolting the air dryer to the frame and the bed is going work out well...

    Have you ever driven a vehicle with a spool, or selectable locker in the front?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Wow! I’m glad to see you made it home without hurting anyone or yourself! You had way too much slack in your cain! The idea between the chain though the pipe tow bar, is to keep the chain as short/tight as possible to limit the amount of slack and make it as close to a rigid tow bar as possible...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    If I’m guessing correctly how your going to use this, unfortunately your bolt is in a bending, not shear scenario. If you could sleeve a snug fitting pipe inside or outside of your tow bar tube then weld a lug or something on that for your chain, then your bolt would be in a double shear. Not...

    Be careful! Not sure how your end product is going to work, but even a grade 8 bolt will have very little strength in that situation.

    Not familiar with the deuce canisters, just farm and heavy equipment. Are they caped on the end like some, is it possible to instal them upside down? Just a though, but I dont think you could get the housing back together on the closed end ones I’m thinking of upside down though.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Thats probably a farm thing, nothing to do with weight. No CDL required in Indiana for a farm vehicle regardless of weight.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Dang! You looked at that spring pack too hard! That Ford spring is the bottom over load, it’s only meant to contact the main pack when they are loaded down. But they wont quite work as intended with your pack, more or less just a 1/2” spacer. I would just ditch the bottom spring on the other...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Can you get longer pins? Typical shackles are made from forged, and tempered alloy’s that are meant to resist deforming. Once they are tweaked they are considered junk...

    Use caution when buying your air fittings, the elbows in those links don’t appear to be DOT fittings.

    Soooo.... I guess the “pictures or it didn’t happen” comments will meet the same fate as the popcorn emoji??? I’m sure it can be added to the **** list for the auto sensor. Maybe we need a site glossary/instructions to help keep the callused and sensitive users from inadvertently offending...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Try “european truck trials” or “europa truck trials”. It’s a wormhole, I don’t think theres just one good link.

    Sorry, I posted the wrong Prothane part #, if your not into the Devo Hat look, 19-1317 looks more like the Mil part.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Check out Prothane 19-1318, or Energy Suspension 9.9103, $10-$15 a pair on Amazon, Both brands have online catalogs with lots of cool options.

    To put a strap on them, and use them...maybe?

    3/4" EMT, light weight, bends fairly easy when you hit something and can easily be bent back if not kinked.
