    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    In the manual it simply recommends to wash with soap and water. I've been using dish soap.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The old girl lost some weight this summer. My rig is primarily for camping. My M105 has been turned into the bunkhouse for 3, and the truck will be our "master suite" for momma and I. The bed got 38" cut out of it. My son and I prepped and painted the box once we got it back on. We also...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Removed my spare tire carrier. This was going to be the location of my air drier, but now with the 2nd cab being added that plan has been altered.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    What did I do? I installed my new horn button and components. I also found a coolant leak at my manifold hoses. Looks like I have a new priority job.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I'm assuming that you don't always have a chance to work on your truck like I do, so this might be an option for you if you are combating weather a lot. Open the hood, slide this puppy over the engine compartment. You'll have just enough room to work in there and not get soaked! It's easier...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Whiskey makes her clothes fall off.... The last couple of weeks I've been stripping her down. Removed the cover, and the plywood I've added for support across the roof. Then I got a chance to remove the bows, and troop seats. Also removed the antenna/scoop. Didn't get a picture yet...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I wouldn't do that! I wish I had a set of taller ones for when I do parades and events. I have an event this weekend in which I will be happy to have the cover on, but at the same time bothered by the fact that my cargo won't be comfortable.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Got under it with small torch yesterday. Heated up all of the components of the park brake. To where I could move everything by hand. No more noise! Now, just to remember not to set the thing every time I stop somewhere (habit).

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Man, I never "Poopoo" the NDT's. They are great for what they are, if driven properly. Anything but dry roads = air down!! Icy roads = stay home. They are like skates on ice. I ran my same exact tires for 3 winters in Wisconsin. First sign of snow, air down to 20psi. Then drive it like a...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Pretty sure I broke something today. That's what I did to my deuce. It's been sitting for about a month due to me doing a civilian brake light upgrade. Went to take her out today to pick the boys up from school. notes: 1) the park brake always gives me issues in the cold. 2) this...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    After letting Soldier "B" and "D" (C was unavailable at the time) do an inspection, we took the truck to my work for a company picnic that offered truck rides. About 400 people through and she never skipped a beat.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It used to be an old ice house. It is slated to be torn down soon.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Took a 120 mile one way trip to go camping. I'm slowly converting my M105 to a camper for my boys and I. Truck ran great! Camper is working out really well. Found some local spots to take some pics.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Took her to work. Longest trip since the new rims/tires. I think it was a whole 7 miles. Part with stop/go traffic. Main leg with 50 mph limit. No issues to report. Got to work and temped the hubs. 80 degrees solid, all around. I think I've actually done something right!

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I am flipping the hubs for dish in. Now the rear wheels will match the front wheels and all track the same. And everything has fit perfectly.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Although slow going, I made some progress on the hub flip friday. Hope to have more done this week. The write up on XM says "easy job with simple hand tools." Ha, bite me. Not a "hard" job, but you need more than simple hand tools.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I got the LED plate frame/lights from TMG and after about 2 weeks it quit working. Still have to diagnose.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    So if it comes time to order them up from someone, just telling them you have the aluminum 2 piece MRAP's with 11" centers doesn't mean squat. These orings were way off. Sending the set back, along with the one I removed so he can compare them and send me the right ones. He's close enough...
