The signal switch on the steering column was the culprit on my A2 for my brake light issues. The single switch interrupts the break lights in order to have the bulbs flash while holding the brakes. It caused the tail lights to stay lit up, regardless of brake switch condition. The contacts...
Hey Section8!
I made my own adapter plates for HEMTT rims using CNC equipment. I still have the DXF file handy, for a fellow Canadian the best deal you will find anywhere.
Also I've made a few friends in Washington State and Oregon. Rims and Tires for decent price and minimum shipping costs...
So I think the clutch in my deuce might be toast. Off the top of my head I believe it may have been contaminated with oil. It was a rapid decay, over the course of a 50 km drive the clutch went from slipping in 4 th and 5 th to now slipping in 2nd and 3rd gears between the 1500 and 2300 rpm...

I also got my cargo cover installed. The super rope was brittle so I had to use bungee cords for the time...
I had an engine knock on my Deuce. I isolated the bad injector by doing what bigbird1 sudgested. It wasnt until I started to pull the injector did I realize one of the bolts on the injector hold down had come loose. Allowing compression to bypass causing it to "knock"
Hey guys,
Just checking in.
Took the truck out off roading again, always a hit in among the 4x4 groups. She yanked out a number of stuck trucks.
The deuce was asked to haul portions of a retired Military Bailey Bridge for group of people building an off road trail network. No sweat.
