I decided to connect my reverse lights to a switch on the dash also- that way I can use them as work lights. Also, if I want to sneak around or be covert, the backup lights won't come on in reverse. (Sneak around in a deuce? Dudes crazy.)

If it doesn't leak, I would leave it alone! :-)

I had the same leak issue when I put mine on and tried Teflon tape. It doesn't hold up long against the Dot 5. The copper washer on the plug is what seals the m/c. I used some white Permatex thread sealer on both sides of the copper washer and that stopped the leak.

It's been a while since I dealt with CB radios but I remember that antennas installed in the center of the vehicles roof always performed better. Installations like yours always suffered from interference from the mirror framework. Mounting to the side of the bed like the military does might...

How are you going to set up the winch for loading? I'd be interested in pics when you get around to it- I need something similar. Mark

Kloak- your cab insulation job looks 1st rate- good job! What did you use? Mark

Fred, I use Gulfway out of Florida. No garage requirement- easy folks to work with.

Steve, I bought a pair from Erik's Surplus over a year ago. They fit fine and no rust or other problems. I've never had a problem with Erik and he knows a lot about what he sells. Mark

Thanks for clearing that up, I didn't know that. Obviously that would be much safer.

What happens if you get rear ended by a car while carrying that extra fuel? Possibly a tragic fire...

Sam, you're always welcome to visit and drive it again! Next time we'll go to Alberts and do some target shootin'.

Lots of degreaser!!

Pics of the engine as promised..

I really didn't do much in there- painted some small parts and installed A/C and air steer, but I'll get some pics and post them.

Thanks for all the kind comments everybody- this is my first deuce and it took me about a year to do the work and all the upgrades. I belong to two MV clubs who put on fundraisers for Wounded Warriors, Packages From Home, Blue Star Moms, etc. it's a lot of fun and very rewarding to display our...

Thanks Sam- I got there right after it landed!
