With 3 cores I was still out 275.....Be sure to get the red label ones not the blue label marine ones. I've read that econo powers are like 40-50 each but couldn't source them in my AO.
Also battery related....replaced the group 31 batteries that were in my deuce when I bought it in 2016. Interstate econo powers. Probably would have made it one more year had I ran the truck more over the winter. 12.5v on bat 1, 11.25 on bat 2, and that's after charging overnight. Put...
Just took mine out for a drive. Sat for 3 months due to work/life etc. 65 F out so started w/o a problem. Nice sunny day so I decided to get some pics and put 'er in TOTM contest this month.
Fired up my deuce today. Had to charge up each battery for about an hour a piece. Not bad considering its 25 out and it's been sitting for 3 months. After 2 minutes of crank and wait it fired right up.
"Santa claus" present delivery to a local school tomorrow. Pics to follow in the uses for...
Mines got one of those. Works great. Not too worried about theft though. I've left her running in several parking lots for 20-45 min and no problems yet. Let alone someone trying to start her from scratch.
Took my deuce out to the department chilli supper on sunday. Hauled all the gear...
Yup. That's algae.
Just got back from fueling mine up for the winter. Had let it get down so low that I had to put 5 in it just to leave the house. Good to rotate that stuff out once and while.
Big chilli supper tomorrow and I'm hauling the bulk of equipment and gear from our squad building...
Managed to get some shipping crate/toy boxes painted up and put in the truck this week. Also added in a different horn in place of the stock twin air horns. Sounds more like a "truck" now, ha ha.
I got the bed lights from superbrightleds.com. They are 2025 lumen each and are capable of 12-24vdc. The sides are square 60degree and the tears are round 30degree. I originally bought these for a boat project but sold the boat. It's a bit overkill, but I paid under 100 for the 4 on sale.
Got exterior bed lights installed over last couple days. 27w LEDs, flood on each side and 2 spots facing rear. I can actually see backing up now, LOL. I also managed to get the LED healights aimed today as well.
Headlight upgrade
Last week it was the cargo bed lights. This week it was headlights. Had a car nut/Jeeper friend cleaning out his garage. He found these knock off JW speaker 8700 LED lights (multi-volt 12-28vdc) and handed them off to me. Haven't had a chance to see the beam pattern at...
Put 25 gallons of fuel in mine (56 bucks) topping off the tank, then drove it to work for the first time. Only had it about a month and loving every minute of it.
It has been well taken care of for sure. Runs like a beast. It's had the spin on filter adapters already done, 11 20 GY 177/188s, 2inch hitch receiver and a bed crane put in. My only plans are reupholster the seats, bedliner the inside cab tub, install reverse lights w/switch mod, add the...
Pics as requested. Purchased this from another SS member. While doing my research I found that another SS member was the 2nd owner after DRMO released it. (The first photo credit goes to him). Still trying to track down the rest of the history. I initially planned on buying a beater and...
