I painted the wheels on my deuce yesterday using Krylon Rustoleum flat black spray paint. I think it turned out pretty good.

I would be more than happy to trade my wood seats for fiberglass. Just need to get to Washington state to make the trade. :-D

Congrats on the new purchase. I hope you will post pictures. :-D

Is there a way to lock the front differential to prevent slipping of either tire when climbing up a steep hill or driving through mud? I'd think equal speed between tires would create the best traction offroad.

Oh I see now. Lockout hubs on a deuce means the front wheels are spinning independently and not turning the front differential while the truck is in RWD. This saves on fuel because less components are turning. Does that mean the lockout hubs will lock automatically when the truck is engaged in...

Excuse the dumb question, but I would like a little clarification for us noobs. Here's the way I understand it. Lockout hubs on a 4x4 truck usually let the front tires freewheel unless the truck is in 4x4. My dad's 1991 Ford truck requires you to exit the truck and lock the hubs manually. When...

I won't be able to make it this time guys. Sorry.

LOL @ being housebroken and domesticated. :-D

Here's a link to that page. Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite Welcome to the site! You will find it's very helpful and the people here very knowledgeable and friendly.

Sounds like you have air in the lines.

The more I read on this site, it looks like the problem may be with the outer seal causing the inner seal to leak. So maybe all that needs to be repaired is the outer seal. I could probably do that myself. OTOH, it looks like the brake drum may be contaminated due to the leaking gear oil.

Just discovered an axle leak on the passenger side of the inner wheel on the mid-axle. It's a bit more than I care to tackle, so it's going to a local repair shop. Hopefully the guys will be able to fix it for me. I tried to find repair instruction in the TM's but the only thing I could find...

A little bit of everything, eh? Thanks for the quick response. I'm downloading the TM right now.

Simple question from a painting noob. How is camo applied? Is it done freehand or are the various colors taped off to keep over spray to a minimum? Also, do they spray it on, or is it painted with a brush?

Lucky! Mine came with an old piece of gum. :yuck:

Congrats on the purchases! Looking forward to pictures. :-D

I was thinking the same thing. As for which one to get, sounds like you already made up your mind to go with the M54.

PM sent.

Better to buy it then let it go to scrap.

I have an A2 that had badly cupped tires on the midaxle. Check for any unusual wear. Might need a couple replacement tires.
