There are still places that will refurbish & rebuild these. If you have one near you, I'm sure they can sell you a spring. Do you have TM 9-2910-226-34? I believe they have part numbers for everything in the pump.

The manufacturer will have recommended PSI in their catalog. If the tires aren't made anymore, old catalogs are easy to find with a web search, though very old ones, 10+ years get harder to find. Or, find a tire similar and see what they recommend for that. For instance, look at the 12R20 XZL...

And, if you install them yourself, they're very cost effective. They're very easy to install too. If anyone's interested, I recommend this site: https://www.tapeease.com//products.htm Their customer service was very helpful. I sent them a simple drawing with detailed measurements, they cut...

This may or may not help, but some people have a spare engine for parts, so you may wish to expand your search and look for a complete spare engine. When I found a spare engine, the whole was less than what people charge for the pump. Just an idea.

Didn't seem that way to me, I thought it a fair price. If you notice the seller carries a lot of military surplus. These lights went for something like $400/pair (list) back in the day (and I read a SS thread from 2011 where people were finding them anywhere from $200/pair and up), and they're...

After reading your thread, I've decided to go with the devil I know. While I'm concerned with the longevity of the Truck-Lite, any suitable (I value performance more than price) light is still gonna cost. I ordered 3 replacement Truck-Lites. I like keeping extra spare parts of hard to find...

Suppose it depends on how much off roading you're planning on doing. I'm also doing a deuce conversion and I opted to created storage above the cab while keeping the camper portion separated. I want to maintain the off road capabilities as much as feasible. I made a thread about it, under the...

Bumping this thread because one of my Truck Lites failed on me recently. Model 07370, LED. I don't know how long they lasted as they were put in by the previous owner, but I got the impression they were installed maybe 5 to 8 years ago, which isn't great in my opinion for a pair that cost at...

Thanks for this. I really didn't know what to expect when opening it up. It's one thing for someone to say, "these things aren't complicated", and they're not, but if you've never seen the inside... So, I laid several sheets of paper towel on the ground. The ball bearing had created an...

In the first pic the casing is flush. In the 2nd pic you can see that the casing is pulled out a little, maybe 1-2 mm. In the 3rd pic the handle arrow is pointing to a place that is outside the normal arc where you would turn it. and the handle is supposed to turn freely inside the arc that is...

Recently I had new wheels/tires put on and the hubs are far more exposed than they used to be. I had a shop install these almost 2 years ago. Due to my trust in them, the previous wheels having a center offset, and my never needing to adjust the hubs, I may have missed this if it happened some...

Another source for wheels: https://militarytires.ca/product-category/offroad-4x4/wheels-only-offroad-4x4/

Why go through the snow when you can go on top of it? They also make systems you can drive a wheeled vehicle onto, strap in, then take off. Should have included this, they make these things for bigger trucks too, so, put some on your MV

There are UV coatings. However, due to the issues in Texas recently, all plastics are through the roof - seems there's lots of chemical plants in a state with (usually) low electrical costs close to oil production. Metal will keep going up though at a certain point it will level off when it...

Thought I'd post a link to another source for wheels. This place has 2 differnt budd wheel types and 2 different non, all 6 x 8.75.

Y'know I was in a different place, financially, when I bought my Deuce. MTVR would be real nice for my goals. With your 7 ton off-road rating, you can pretty much use anything. Another MTVR thread here, the builder estimated the wood weight from building at 1.5 tons. I have seen those FRP...

Yeah, that is cheap stuff. I was looking at fencing some land recently and corrugated metal was cheaper than wood. Not sure how to seal it though. Most of the roof will be covered with solar panels so the material can be pretty thin, I just need it sealed off from the elements.

Yeah, the exterior cladding I'm still not sure what it's gonna be. I'll probably use 5052 aluminum for any exterior, it has the best corrosion resistance (of the 3 grades that I see commonly sold). 5052 is also cheaper, though I don't know the metals market and maybe there's a reason for this...

Not sure this is for me. I don't want to say I'm building on the cheap, because in some areas I'm spending a lot, but in some areas I don't want to spend too much either. After all, this is all going on a Deuce, not a Ford F750. I have ~250 sq/ft of exterior wall to cover. Looking at an...

I have no plans to bend any tubing. I plan to cut and weld steel tube. Essentially, I'll be building a framework. The sub-floor will be an aluminum box contained inside this framework. I plan on riveting the outer skin (material still to be determined) and the sub-floor box. Haven't decided...
