Winching is not any different than hoisting. Make shure ALL rigging used is load rated. Dont get cheep and buy the $50 snatchblock from China when you should have the $150 Crosby or other rated block. Same with shackels, hooks, straps, etc. Ive hoisted with 200 ton cranes and there is zero...

NAPA FIL 2837 should do the trick. A word of caution, The air filter canister has no drain. Rain bounces off the fender and into the air intake. After awhile it fills up the canister enough that the filter "wicks" up the water and restricts airflow. After awhile the filter deteriorates enough...

The craftsman is a good general purpous compressor, Ive had one for about 12 years as well. It is loud so useing it indoors in a small garage is a little hard on the ears. If you intend to sandblast, use larger than 1/2" impacts, pnumatic grinders, Paint, Fill more than 1 truck tire in a...

Thanks guys, There is still plenty of stuff to do on it, but its comeing along. Havent touched the trailer yet. It needs some work...... but thats half the fun!!

Excellent!! Looked at the pics, quite a project, good luck!!!

Lots of bobed deuces use an M105A2 trailer bed (about 9 feet) to replace the truck bed. The covers are stock for the trailer and it looks good.

welcome to the group!

Guess there are to many hills around here....... Im always lugging, very few flat areas to get moveing! For some reason 2200 was stuck in my mind. Roads around here are rough and up & down like rollercoasters.

It may be simply the govoner is set to high. I believe it should cut out at about 2200 rpm not 2600. overreving the engine isn't good, even just a few hunderd can have an effect over time.

Recovry4X4 your trailer looks more natural :)

Another Pic... and details. The bed is primer at the moment. The troopseats and the bows are fiberglass. Installed Extras: Power assist steering, Electric brake controller, Heater, Fiberglass troop seats, Fiberglass bows, Lockout hubs. Not installed yet: Gun holders, Convoy lights, IR...

Here is my truck with an M105A2 trailer, power assist steering system, Lockout hubs, etc. Still lots to do, like some small rust repair and paint, but its all there and a good runner. This was MVtrucker's (Joe Young) personal truck. I purchased it from him. There are lots of little extras...

Something about a deuce pulling a camper.......... Cool, but it just doesent seem right.:)

Trucks that have been bypassed generally have more power, however they also run higher manifold temps. some believe this is not good for the engine. I have not heard of any failures because if this unless it was being abused.

I agree with ken, The pump may be turned up slightly. Also the govener is set to high. I generally try not to rev over 2200. Pushing it harder is asking for problems. Also check to see if the "diesel fuel only" is on it anywhere. Even hidden under paint. Some multifuelers where converted to...

Now that is a sight!!! People must think the Army has upgraded its tents!!!

Havent dug in yet, But its going to happen very soon.....

Ahhh yes, there is nothing like the smell of a cold diesel engine in the early AM of a cool day, followed by the wine of the turbo after it warms up and as you pause a high RPM before shifting to the next gear. You think to yourself "life is good!" Then you think........ Hmmm it's 5:30 AM why...

I've seen them from time to time for arround $500 without the cradle. Keep looking. They are somewhat elusive to find.

I like it! I have a set, just need to install them.
