Thanks, Rustystud. I am taking your advice about being employed in a MV/ Surplus environment, and "mining" it for all that I can, while I can.

Yeah, I need to get pictures and actual measurements for them, for sure. Will do so Monday, when I get back to work. Anybody know if you can log in from more than one place without logging out of primary first?

Any updates on the headlights, wclark4000?

Sorry for the delay, been at work. What I was referring to as ground clearance should have been approach angle. I have ALOT of bad/awkward/steep break-overs to deal with on the farm, when crossing the creeks and some of the other rough spots out there. i spent today actually working on the Pet...

Hey, Privatewrench, we still have 2 more at the shop. Both are CARC green, with the foam inside. I am looking forward to putting it to use soon! :naner:

I found a tool chest/ storage box for me Deuce at work. It's roughly 6'x'20"x3' and is made from Aluminum, with a foam lining, as you can see. Now, I have somewhere to store my "road gear". I also got MOST of the air leaks taken care of as well. I just need to replace the line that goes to the...

CHIEFSONN, in my limited time in owning a Deuce, ANY wheel time is GOOD time! I manage to drive min around the yard at work about every other week, and I still get excited about it. I still have to begin to work on the brakes, so that it is safe to drive, so I feel your pain, brother!

Well, both of you definetaly came up with a good idea, here. I wish that it would work on my Deuce, but, I will be needing the ground clearance, most likely. Something about working on clearing off an old farm, and going wheeling out in the woods/creeks/hills out here comes to mind. Question...

I started to re-plumb the air lines on my Deuce. So far, the compressor to regulator is done, as it somehow developed a hole in it close to the firewall, on the side AWAY from the engine (I have NO idea how that could happen, when there is literally NOTHING for it to touch) and got the fittings...

I would also love to have the parts list to try and start putting a VIC system together. My boss is holding a set of NOS headsets for me that we "think" are the correct ones, and having the NSNs available would make life ALOT easier for everyone, I think.

Actually, tobyS, she COULD drive it, once it started rolling. The lack of P/S is the only thing that keeps her OUT of my truck. I think that she wants me to NOT get the 5 ton because I already have 19 vehicles, 3 tractors, 1 motorcyle and now the deuce to keep me busy.

Yeah, gang. I liked the 923, def! I don't *need* it and the wife has already nixed getting it, but, well............ I thought that it was funny that I was a better driver in it than the Boss, and he got to drive them daily while doing some, um, contract work overseas, back when. He thought it...

I *finally* got a chance to install the Gabreil shocks that I bought a while back. NO GO!!!!!!!!! The mounting stud "steps" up in diameter, and, the "stroke" is WRONG! Like not enough COMPRESSION stroke. Also, while still "banded" by the factory twist tie wire, the shocks were already filling...

I *FINALLY* got the chance to see about changing out my shocks for the Gaberials. NO GO!!!!!!!!! The stud mount steps up in size, AND the "stroke" length is wrong, with full compression being the biggest issue, as in NOT enough of it. Crap. I also took a drive on the dark side today.....

It can't be that much over sized, whatadeuce- my Skookum weighs in at around 105lbs!

Hey, rustystud. I checked the Skookum website, as you suggested, and it is very nice to know that I now own a 100% American made piece of gear that also has a solid history of use. Based on what I saw for E-bay listings, maybe I should feel bad about only paying $400 for mine... Nah. I love...

^THIS guy gets it. Heck of a ride, ain't it? I had an aluminum wheel come off of my BII, driver front, as I went into a right curve. THAT was an eye opener! The steel "wear" inserts in the wheel had come loose and allowed the lugnuts to back off, with expected results. No damage to anything...

Well, maybe things have changed *more* than I recall in the last 4-5 years than I am aware. Still, solid practice to NOT tempt trouble by running re-caps on the steer axle. I came off of the road about 5 years ago, fwiw.

You *really* should ditch the RETREAD tires on the steer axle. If you loose a 'tread, a blowout is going to be next, usually within the next 1/2 mile, not to mention that DOT says *NO* to retreads on the steer axle. They are okay on the rear, however.

I like to think so, rustystud. i looked Skookum up on line, and, just WOW. The prices are a bit nuts, to say the least. I got this beast for $400, so, I guess that isn't too bad, all pricing considered. The pulley turns smoothly, and the OD, almost CARC feeling/looking, paint is in really nice...
