Help yourself! Moderators are pretty good when roasted over a low heat for a week or so.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I was wondering why I couldn't get the smell of marinade out of my mind...... :banghead:rdixiemiller said:Help yourself! Moderators are pretty good when roasted over a low heat for a week or so.
I am going to have to see what it's going to take to keep this beast in place. I think the parking brake idea w/ the chain or a tube over it with a chain welded to it would be a good start. I imagine 3 choks total. Two in the back on each rear inner dual and one in the front. I guess you can't be too safe, especially when the houses on my street aren't that far back from the side walk. The deuce would make a great addition to my home, just not to the home across the street!!!Monster Man said:I park on a 10 degree slope-
backing in is a nightmare, partly cause my driveway is only a foot longer thanthe deuce, so it's very hard to see if I'm about to hit the house (don't tell the neighbors, but I have done that once)
also, backing up causes much more wheelspin and is harder to modulate the throttle. It's best to go up in first low so you can go as slow as possible, I drive over 2x4's so I know I've gone far enough, and have a chock in front to stop me if I go too far. Then, parking brake on, let here slowly back into the 2x4's, then put a big rubber chock under the front. I wouldn't EVER trust her without at least two chocks, I've had it start out into the street on several occasions while I was exiting the cab.
My parking brake is covered in oil from a seal leaking on the driveshaft output on the t-case, so it's not much help, but it does a little. I have to apply it as I'm coming down the street to wipe the oil off (I've got my pinion brake ALMOST working) I've found that the e-brake doesn't do anything when backed in, in other words it won't hold it forward as good as it does in reverse.
will these fit the toolbox and are they keyed alike?Recovry4x4 said:Yes, speaking of them locks, I might have a few extra US stamped American locks. New surplus in the box. I'll post if I have any extras.
