Installed a new shift knob, and recovered my drivers seat. I'm happy for what I got done...

Small victories add up. I bet that seat looks good.

I just finished replacing my transfer case. What a difference it makes. I think I could actually hold a conversation while driving now.

What did I do TO my deuce......
Working on the house my mother-in-law will soon be retiring into, I needed to replace the mailbox and rebuild the post/platform, fix the front porch railing and some other trim. So.... I made the deuce work as a BIG workbench.... so BIG that the table saw rode in the back and then was used there without unloading it. This house is just 0.3 miles from our own home, but it sure was convenient having ALL the necessary tools on site.

Mom's new neighbors loved it !!!

That is my favorite kind of "workbench!"
But, with a mobile workbench that high off the ground, I'm guessing there was a lot of climbing up and down involved. I'm out of shape and always feel that type of activity the next morning. I guess that means I need to use my mobile workbench more often!

Good catch!
You might note that there's a 6' fiberglass stepladder in the bed of the deuce. During most of the up & down the ladder was in place for easy access.
By the time i took this picture, I had moved indoors and had stowed the ladder so that it didn't "grow feet" and "walk away".... if you know what I mean.

Those seats look great.
What are you controlling with all of those switches in the console?
Aux lights and future 12 volt stuff
It really does look nice, Brian!

Good stuff, spin on fuel filters are on my list.
Do those WIX have drains on them?
Getting to the drains in the stock ones without getting a diesel shower is tricky

The primary has a drain. The secondaries do not.
I like them. Carnac's deuce has them, and I plan to put them on my M109A3

I'm down to 3 days and counting, going to live in mine (converted to RV) fulltime. Loading up the 28 foot trailer, down to the last 5 or so small Home Depot moving boxes. The trailer was convert from a car hauler to a mobile garage, food storage and living area (tv, frig, wood stove and command chair).
