Oh i did learn something, if you put 1/4" of grease over your brake shoes they will stay in like new condition rofl Edit: rtv check. No word on the EUC for the M109 yet, I was hoping it would clear by now.

Been working on the deuce. I picked up a 1" drive pneumatic impact gun at Harbor Freight Tools for $185 and I got the 3 year replacement warranty. Apparently I missed the memo about my lug nuts are reverse thread, I broke a stud off before I got it right :doh: I need to start reading the service...

Looks like I'm having a small get together [thumbzup] anyone is welcome to come by. I will be in the mountians testing some hand loads in the morning but I will be working on my brakes on the deuce about noon so any time after then you can stop by. We can do a BBQ/bonfire in the evening :beer:

That beats paying $20 every time I need to rent one. to China Bobs I go.

Mighty mite http://www.steelsoldiers.com/mighty-mite/70132-mity-mite-found.html (I hope I did not brake any rules, I cant sell it yet) Yellow trailer http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/69571-identify-trailer.html

Update: My left rear most wheel cylinder started leaking to the point of being un drivable, I ordered 2 new wheel cylinders and 10ea rebuild kits so I can rebuild the cylinders on the M109 when I get it home. The parts should be here tomorrow. I would much rather use all new wheel cylinders but...

Just waiting on my confirmation email. . . nopics

Oh your the guy with the Ural, that was my brother you talked to. he told me he bumped into you, I think he was picking up a date in my deuce that night. I will send you a PM the next time I have a get together, it will be after the PNW ralley.

That was me (5'9" 160lbs) or my brother (6' 205lbs), I live about half a mile from there. You should bring your truck out some time, we have a BBQ/bonfire/offroad event about every weekend. Congratulations on the new truck, I dont mind at all if you post pics her.

one eye; your truck looks really good [thumbzup], that is the rout I should have went with my deuce. I'm sure I will repaint in the near future.

I went with the Krylon camouflage spray paint, the light green color. oh and definitely a muffler and tires soon! Thanks Dan, I could use one haha

forgot pics

I painted the deuce on Friday, what a difference 20 cans of spray paint makes. Its really odd, now that I have the flags on the truck I get very few thumbs up or people that come up to talk to me in praking lots. Maybe most of Olympia is anti patriotic?:cookoo:

Saturday was fun, spent the first couple hours of the day recovering trucks that had gotten stuck Friday night with the deuce. Every one went back out to play in the mud after I went to bed (no deuce to save them) I woke up with a 62 land rover, 98 durango, 90's wrangler, and a 2010 Range Rover...

I just got back in from a test drive. I installed a mechanical gage 50psi start up, 30-40psi hot idle, up to 75psi under load [thumbzup] . so it must have been a bad sending unit or gage.

I think I may be over reacting, the FDC has already been bypassed and I checked the oil more then 60sec after shut down so it read 1.5" over the full line. But I still have an oil pressure issue, the oil is on the thin side and I think I can smell diesel in it (the whole truck reeks of diesel)...

Bad news today, I lost oil pressure. down to 15psi driving and 0psi idling. The engine is making oil so I will be bypassing the FDC. runs fine otherwize.

Thanks, yea I tend to jump head first into things haha. I'm going to start shifting my focus onto the new cab now that the truck is a running/driving beast.

I left all the parts in place so I can get the cold start system in working order later. I still have a LOT of work before I will get to the small non essentials like the cold start system. Its funny, a lot of people that I know have ridden in my deuce and now HAVE TO HAVE ONE lol. I bet two...

My daughter loves the deuce, I just have to rig it up so she can ride in it on the street. I took her for a ride on a dirt road and now every time I go out side she wants to play with daddys truck. I had to cap off the cold start system today, it was leaking diesel right on top of the hot side...
