I only paid 150$ for my initial registration. They registered it as a 1971 diesel truck made by kaiser-jeep. Now I'm sure if they had actually asked how much the GVW was I would have paid more, but they didn't ask, and I wasn't offering. They registered it from an Ohio title I had gotten from...

"Does it run?" Oh hell yeah, runs like a beast, you would be hard pressed to kill one of these... It just doesn't stop!

I would like to know the answers to these questions.

Someone suggested cross drilling the bolts and using castle nuts with safety wire, is there any reason why safety wire or even a locking pin would be a bad idea?

I just caught a wheel cylinder leak on my deuce today too, during predrive inspection. It's nice to catch that stuff before you have a spiritual moment on the road.

I've seen people tow a boat, behind a camp trailer, behind a pickup: both 5th wheel camp trailers and ball hitch camp trailers, but those are pretty firm hitch points and the trailers have computer controlled brakes. Semi trucks tow tandem trailers all the time, with multiple pivot points: you...

Isn't this what they call "polishing a turd"?

I like the look of a bobbed deuce with all 3 axles, the roll bar is dumb, but it's a cool idea.

Nobody makes an exact clone because the drive train is expensive and weird. However people make kits for other chassis to look similar hummers. Urban Gorilla 4x4 Bodies :: Home and then some manufacturers copied the design for other products. Toyota Mega Cruiser - Photo gallery People have...

There are different kinds of brake cleaner, we use Chlorine-Free Brake Cleaner at our shop, surely it's not producing phosgene without Chlorine. Does the Chlorinated Brake Cleaner work better? I don't think we've ever stocked it. Our brake cleaner is still ridiculously flammable, I don't think...

On deuces years don't particulary matter, they are all basically the same. You can have a 1960's deuce that is in better condition than one from the late 70's / 80 just depends on how the government took care of it. You usually want a deuce with a multifuel + turbo so it doesn't belch black...

I personally wouldn't use starting fluid, ether is a bit strong. I had problems getting my deuce to start the other day after a filter change. I put a little gasoline in the mushroom to assist in the starting process. The fumes are strong enough to help crank the engine.

I had to special order my gaskets and it took a week, but once I changed my oil, no leaks...

I think it might of taken off if they had the idea originally instead of just copied craig's and omitted several catagories. I think their slogan should be "Buy Religiously" or "Buy Neo-Conservatively". As a Conservative from Texas I think the idea of a larger entity getting in my business to...

I use Tractor Supply bolts bought in bulk quite often. If I have a weird bolt I need, or need to be absolutely sure it's not going to fail I go to Brazos Fasteners, but you can't beat TSC for the price, and usually the application I put those bolts in make quality a non-issue. Example: Buying...

Yes.

I think the only solution is to have it in Big Bend, that way everyone has a miserable drive.

How thick is the lunette ring on the M105A2? I know average ring at Tractor supply wont fit on the deuce because the deuce needs a 3 inch hole, but will the pintles they have there hold a military ring, or is the ring too thick?

I can either get a one trip tag from the tax office for 5$ or grab the trailer plate off my utility trailer. So currently at: High-lift Jack/Floor Jack w/ Cribbing Chains + Shackles Tire supplies Spare + 1 1/2" Socket + 3/4" Breaker bar Grease +oil 12v Magnetic Lights set on to lowered tail...

The FJ is rather roomy, I've gotten four 33"s in it before, I figure worst case the spare can go on the roof rack. Add a prybar and oil to the list. Check the bearings.
