    What to bring for camping trip?

    Just a reminder, about the tent not the truck. Park on a slight hill with the tailgate down, if it rains that bed will hold water and you'll be soaked.

    Need help at Ft. Jackson, SC

    When I went to pick up my deuce the cost to have it towed off base was $250 for the wrecker to show up (one of the big semi wreckers) when I talked to the towing company that GL recommended they quoted me $450 to pick it up for me and flat bed it to my farm in Upstate SC. Normally it would be a...

    attempted theft

    Want to deter criminals plant some nice hedge rows with the really stiff holly bushes that will rip the **** out of your clothes with just one path open for the driveway, one way in one way out and anything else is 5ft tall extremely painful very thick bushes. Then just run a crush wire system...

    Lockout hubs

    Ok, I've been doing some reading and just so I'm tracking, Lockout hubs for front axle is a no brainer, going to do that, now adding 1 lockout hub to the middle axle will make it turn better and not fight the rear axle. So since most places sell in sets of 2 for lockouts, if you put a lockout...

    My anniversary present

    Quick question: Do you know what brand/type battery disconnect that is mounted to the back wall of the jobsite box? I really like the box setup and plan on doing it in my full sized deuce, but have been having trouble finding a switch that is rated for the amps that a deuce puts out. Thanks...

    Deuce fuel tank dimensions...

    Thanks for posting the tank dimentions, I'm planning on putting the tank in the bed inside a job site box and this helps in planning being that I'm half a world away from my deuce right now.

    increasing reliability and offroad performance

    Thanks for all the great suggestions, I agree that rocks or stumps protruding from the side are alot more hazardous and likely than high centering, and I like the idea of using a jobsite box for the tank and batteries because then you don't have to worry about securing the batteries and fuel...

    "Do not park in gear"

    Ok, since it was brought up and not really answered, HOW does a deuce run backward. I mean what actually happens mechanically, there's no turbo on the exhaust so it won't compress the air and will to valves even work that way. I'm not very familiar with multifuels yet, so can someone explain...

    Jumping in or falling to death

    I'm always asked, but what do you plan on doing with it. "Whatever the **** I want."

    new to deuce question about loading it

    Here's my 2cents worth, when I bought mine at Ft. Jackson, they had a rule that you had to have it towed off base because some idiot didn't check the brakes and drove off the lot and into a building. So to have the semi tow truck move it 2 miles was $250 and then it might breakdown on the 2 hr...

    Perfect Truck & Perfect Gentleman

    I had this same problem. If you slide under the truck under the drivers side step and look up you should see what's in the attached picture (ignore the red arrows, I used this picture for one of my other questions) in the Yellow Circle. Check the connection and the wires, if one is frayed or...

    looking to get my first Deuce

    The big question is do you have a place to drive and store the deuce that is out of sight out of mind? Luckily my GF is close to graduating vet school so she loves big trucks. I'll admit that Governement Liquidation can be a hassle to deal with I won 3 auctions before the EUC got done right, not...

    Roll bar

    First off I AM NOT A ROLL CAGE EXPERT OR AN ENGINEER if there are issues with my idea than someone smarter than me, PLEASE SAY SO I don't want someone getting hurt off my ideas, that and I might do this myself. Here's my 2 cents since I was also wondering about a rollcage. I've seen...

    increasing reliability and offroad performance

    I used the winch within 4 days of getting the deuce to pull the tractor loaded with a 1,000lb bale on the front and back when it got stuck, then to get myself unstuck about 2 weeks later, definately keeping it. The use of the spare to prevent high centering sounds like a good idea, but I still...

    Govt liquidations. M35A v. suburban, cucv, excursion, trailer need Bug out vehicle

    I would recommend the CUCV (old blazer style), however, if you decide to go with a Deuce just let me say that you can find answers to any question you have here, and the people are really quick with responses. A camera is your best friend, take a picture, post it (with an arrow pointed at the...

    increasing reliability and offroad performance

    I believe my description of the tank move might have been misread, I'm not trying to turn it sideways, I'm thinking that I could rotate it 90 degrees so the back of the tank is at the fram rails and the front of the tank is lined up with the side of the bed and raise it up as close as possible...

    Recent Mods & Repairs

    Just a quick question on mudflaps, has anyone removed the steel mudguards with the hanging rubber and just put one long hanging rubber flap down so they just move out of the way instead of the possibility of getting bent? I don't plan on mounting anything to them so I was just wondering if...

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    I looked at the Roda Deaco and really like their setup, does anyone have the diameter of the air intake between the turbo and the engine, I still plan on putting it as close to the engine as possible and don't have access to my deuce for a measurement. 1970 AM General M35A2. Thanks for all...

    Engine Questions

    As a very late response, the rpm issue had to do with the injector pump. The half moon shapped rocker that holds against the max and min screws kept slipping because its splined hole was worn and kept slipping on the shaft. Link below has a better description, though not up to my usual...
