In the last two weeks, I added a winch to the front, Changed the 24v gen to a 24v alt, added a 12v alt, added a class V hitch and 12 volt back up lights, and a 12v power plug to the dash.

Well it was actually last week but Keith_J and I swapped 6 tires around and pulled 3 of the 4 rear axles looking for a wheel cylinder leak (we found it on the 3rd one so no need to pull the 4th) and repacked the bearings while we had everything apart. After that we took it to the 3rd Annual Fill The Deuce Food Drive.

Just finished up a week long hunting trip traveled approximately 700 miles hauled my 6x6 argo atv, ramps, my brothers atv, 3 portable stands and my gear. And the best part I think was the 14 mpg I got on the trip

I tracked down the reason I didn't have high beams on the left side of the truck. It wasn't hard to find the problem, just turned the lights on and wiggled the wires and the sparks showed me where the problem was.
Anyway, untaped the wiring loom and fixed a couple of worn areas by cutting out the bad parts, installing bullet connectors, and re-taping everything.

Besides that, I replaced the brush assembly on a 3500 W generator I picked up for $60. A new choke lever as well, and repainted the bright yellow to a more subdued black/brown scheme. The plan is to use this generator to power the christmas lights I plan to put on the truck for an upcoming Christmas parade.

I'm currently looking for some C7 christmas lights for the deuce.

And that was my day.

I keep reading about replacing fuel filters. If you drive it only a couple hundred miles a year (I check them almost every time I drive it and never have found any water or bad crap in them) how often should they be changed? Also how often should the oil and filters be changed?

For me, it was just a precautionary measure as the truck was new to me and had a long trip ahead of me. Turned out to be a good idea as they were slightly gunked up. Ive dealt with old tractors, trucks at a drilling co, and i just like to do it before going long distances. I also like to keep an extra set handy just incase

I had another productive weekend. Before and after pic's of the work. After that I took the truck to the local OHV park and let a buddy play for a while in the dirt, and then swung by HD and picked up a pallet of pellets. It's gratifying how much other folks love the truck.
