Clepto's Bobber

[Cleptomaniac]

Oddshott my buddy and i spent 3 diff days but prolly 30-35 total man hrs. But i think it would b wise to have some help or someone that is close. Their are lots of heavy parts and if y get stuck under something.... Just not good.

Yea i have shot a Uzi also very fun!!!

Well I spent the day working on the aDeuce and got some more done Worked on drilling some holes for the bumperettes that i never finished and went to Napa to get oil filters. Pulled back in to the shop and the brake pedal went to the ground One of the brake lines came loose and drained a ton of fluid so i decided that the little brackets were a good idea to put back on
so now the brakes are good and the bumperettes are on corectly!! The oil was horable!!!
And i put some Lucas in and WOW it is so much quieter

Here is the Deuce plowing in to a pile of snow

So how long did it take you to get out. Looks like you were digging through the snow pretty well (at least down).

 

[Cleptomaniac]

I didnt on my own i had my buddy pull me out But it was fun We were taking turns doing that!!

You are a lucky bastard if only one guy talks to you. I only have one neighbor and my wife asked if we can buy their house when they move so we won't have any. Living in the country is great.

that right there is the finest wifey quote i heard in a long time.


the bobber looks great,im at least a year off starting on mine.

Well had a little problem yesterday. My brake lights weren't working!! So after some time on here and some time witha wireing diagram I figured out the air presure brake swith thingy was out. So some more time on here and I ran across a old post where a guy got a old 80s break switch and made a bracket, wired it in and wala brakes!!!! So being the redneck I am and the looming blizzard tonight and the thought of not playing in the snow..... Well getting a ticket for no break lights I went to auto zone and started work. It was realy easy!! Just made a c shaped bracket put the switch on it and bolted it to the truck. I think it is better than the oe. Will post some pics later.

[Cleptomaniac]

Well i got a heater orderd BTW the temp is going to be in the 60+ Saterday

[Cleptomaniac]

Well I managed to squeeze in a little time on the Deuce to day and so I managed to get two 12 volt plugs installed, a keyed handle (need some green paint), and a keyed start Still waiting on my heater should be here on the 17th

Also was thinking about a remote brake fluid res. and am working on puting the brake res. off the M105 trailer on the fire wall under the hood. I know you cant see threw but it will look like it belongs on the truck. Spent some time trying to find out what gasket to use. Could not find much localy so i called Permatex and they said all their prodects are good for Brake fluid.

 

[srodocker]

where did you get your handles from?

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Handles came from ACE Hardware like 15 dollars or somthing. Had to Cut them down about 1/2 inch but they work good

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Ok FYI I suck at sewing My seam riped out on the front of the soft top and couldnt find a shop that wanted to mess with it so.......... I got some glus that is suposed to work for this kind of thing and am trying to sew it back togeather. I can gurantee it wont b to purdy but i think it will hold up ok.

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Well yesterday i got to meet Miker and Plumkrazy. Mike has some great mods on his trucks and also got to see (lucie) Plums new M35 with gun ring soooo jealous!!!!! Any way had a blast getting to hang out with some more "krazy" people Here are some pics of Lucie (i may not b spelling it correct) When we took the ammo boxes buy my boys were ready to put a gun on and take off shooting and driving

 

[Cleptomaniac]

Finaly got my top repaired (not too pretty) but think it will hold!! Have a shoot to go to tomorrow. And am going to have about 1hr 15min each way so going to check fuel mileage and see how she handles on the road We will see...

 

[dwjmoto]

Very nice I'll post some pics of the full auto shoot when I get them uploaded I'm lookin for a ring for my deuce if anyone has one floating around.

Firemedic230 the rims are factory (trying to decide what to put on 10 lug adapters or mod hemmitt) but the tires are 395s and I got them from a guy in Norman. I can pm you his info if you like. Bobbing one is not bad am thinking the next time I'll cut down the bed and use front deuce springs. Not 105 parts. I realy like the looks of the cut down bed but this is my first MV so I am still learning. If you have any questions let me know I'll try to help any way I can.
Also Mike has a nice sight XM381.com and he is here in Edmond.

good lookin build ya did, hey would ya PM me the guys info you got the tires from is he a member on here?
