What did you do to your deuce this week?

[DieselBob]

Very nice work on the wiring and circuit breakers AN/ARC186.

 

[SMOKEWAGON66]

Fitted new bows to my soft top frame...fits good Also put on the nifty holders that came with the new bows.

Changed the oil and primary fuel filter!

 

[RECONJON]

I very happily hung both my plates, I wish more had been accomplished but it was a lot to do week just getting the DMV business squared away. One thing I noticed, no plate light. Anyone know if they make a clear utility light lense? I figured I could replace the middle red with white and call it a plate light. That was one thing they did not look for at Inspection.

Recon, theres 24v tag lights on epay. A bit over $10. Makes good inside cab light too

I wondered what those were, never would have guessed they were holders for the soft top bows. Thanks for the pictures!

i agree Don. good looking rig! is that the one that had the camper built in it when you got it? id like to see more detail of the fender mount leds. heres my 109 before and now.. figured id show how i parted it out some.. more mods coming.

You have an excellent looking truck there. No this 109 I drove back from Florida last year, I got it from Oddball, you are thinking of 3DAngus M-109 with the shower, sink, bed and desk. Mogger67 my friend picked that one up late last fall. I would talk to Dell and ask him how he did the mods.

Blew it up.

 

[islandguydon]

Took a trip through Detroit yesterday, Ended up going through Dearborn, that was a trip. The festival was fun. Stopped by a few Detroit landmarks for a pic or two.

Mogger67 went along for the ride and was good company for a change. I let him drive the city/freeway home. He still cant get a grip of the standard shifting pattern and is a slow learning student. Before we left I filled up with mineral oil, average MPG was 11.6

 

[Welder Sam]

You're on the money Don. I did get the trucks mixed up. My apologies

 

[daveks63]

Well I changed the HH seals as I was getting fuel in the oil. Did an oil change and filters too. Went to start it up and the started is out now. I guess I am going to be looking for a starter this week.

 

[SMOKEWAGON66]

Finished my troop seats ( thanks Digger ) Also went to the Depot and got a small sample of Behr paint using the codes from another thread on here for 24087. Although I didn't notice the lady that mixed it used flat paint instead of semi-gloss so that's not right, also the codes I had were different then HD's new lower VOC paint codes so the shade is a tad different. Will have to try again with another sample soon.

 

[RedbeardTheZombieHunter]

Well Dang Smoke! Those tail lights look WAY better now that ya cleaned em up! Can't wait to see em on the truck!

 

[Docuscg]

Have been sanding on my A3 for the last 30 days. No finger prints left. Chasing spot rust from one end to the other. Thought the inside cab floor would be okay, but after a quick vacuum and then pulled back the floor mats----- there it was small rust bumps. Seems thst a little sand or dirt gets underneath the mat and can get stuck in one spot so too cut into the base paint and starts a rust spot. Also the mat holds water longer so that helps speed the process. Someting to watch out for. Had to sandblast the hood . Some young GI was told to paint it with a brush !! " THICK". Today I was masking off the side mirrors so I could prime them .... but one slipped. This afternoon I ordered two new side mirrors. Wife had a few choice words. Maybe in another week or two I can get it primed.

 

[Rambling Wreck]

What blast material did you use on the hood?

 

[Docuscg]

What blast material did you use on the hood?

Med. grit sand. Hood has thick enough steel to not warp. Fun thing was removing all the flaking off of the sealer the gov. put on the foam insulation. After I wet the foam and let it soak some, you can pull the (Latex? ) sealer off. Now hunting for a new sealer paint to refinish the foam.

Finally finished up the installation of my fans, completed some wiring and the install of my drivers flood light, going to change the bulb out to a spot.

Where did you get your spot lights on your mirrors from?

 

[SMOKEWAGON66]

Got a little more paint sprayed today. After using bondo on the bumper to fill deep gouges, Id say it turned out good. Any comments on the color? I like it.
