Thanks! I really do try to keep up with my various online projects...but I have a lot of irons in the fire! I have a couple hundred youtube videos up, am a technical editor for Zukiworld, husband and father, owner of 2 businesses, assistant fire chief on my local fire department, and more...

Sorry about my absence from the forums recently! I have been overwhelmed with emails, PM's, and phone calls from my various youtube videos and online projects. Combine that with my 2 businesses and family life, and I have been forced to let my generator hobby slip a little bit! My conversion...

No, we didn't put the dummy inside for this one!

Put the deuce to work again last night at the fire department; just a short clip, but we rolled a Land Cruiser onto its roof to prepare it for extrication training. http://youtu.be/Up9ibHeFKwI

1. About 5 psi in the rear, 10 psi in the front (give or take a few psi). Lowering tire pressure makes the biggest difference out in the sand. 2. I run about 40 in the rear tandems and about 60 in the fronts. It takes roughly 30 minutes to fill back up to these pressures. 3. Yep. I...

Took the deuce out to Sand Lake over father's day weekend; my wife shot a few clips of it out on the dunes: http://youtu.be/Re_yLNgjlMM

I put together my own kit...largely using PSC components. There is a list of parts that I used earlier in this thread. I think it would still be fine in a bobber...but no firsthand experience with that one.

It handles better than with the stock steering setup; I have a load-reactive steering valve in the system so there is some "feel" in the steering wheel, but you do feel a bit disconnected from what is happening under the truck. Aside from the reduced effort, the biggest plus is the 3.5 turns...

pics of the bases that I built are at the top of the page. No suspension in the seats, but the foam is so much better than the factory stuff, that I don't miss the spring at all.

Attached are some pics of the seats installed in the deuce (took them this morning). Hard to get a good angle inside of the cab! The're still a bit dirty from my last outing... They worked out great; the side bolsters helped keep my butt firmly planted in front of the steering wheel, and the...

Latest issue of Petersen's 4x4 magazine I picked up the latest issue of Petersen's 4 wheel & off road, and there was my Deuce! Page 64...

The frequency meter will not read accurately until you have voltage; what you were seeing was not anything of note... The ammeter and load meter won't read anything unless there is a load on the set. Since you don't see any voltage during field flash, you probably don't have a major problem...

By "deflection" I was asking if you saw any movement on any of the meters during field flash... If you're concerned that you might have burned something up, remove the jumper wire and re-install it between t12 and the neutral bus (just the way it was wired when it was stock). Return all of the...

You don't need to add the resistors; their function is just to bring the meter readings and safety trip setpoints back into spec. Without installing them, the meters will read too high...not a problem unless you need the full rated capacity of the generator.

It is most likely still configured for 120/208v three phase. The buss bar is probably riveted to the underside of the reconnection board (you'll need to remove the reconnection plate, and then remove the 4 stand-offs that hold the bottom section down, then pull/twist it so you can see the...

You didn't notice any deflection, even while holding the start switch up in start? The next step would be to move X12P16N from T12 to one of the adjacent posts, then do the cautious startup...

I distinctly remember moving leads off of T12, but I didn't make a note of it since I thought it was on the video! Proceed at your own risk, but here's what I would do: move X12EG16N from T12 to one of the adjacent "neutral" posts. Leave X12P16N in place for now. Fire up the set, but be...

Unfortunately, I pulled up my video footage from the last conversion and it didn't turn out. Not trying to withhold info at all, but I honestly can't recall exactly which leads were moved. There were just 2 of them from one terminal, but I didn't write it down and must have neglected to hit...

Didn't get any good photos or video this year; my "normal" cameraman decided to back out of the trip because of work! And, there was just too much rain to get any good video footage... My wife did snap some photos of me during the cleanup this morning. Once the underside of the truck stops...

Are there any PNW members who are going to Sweet Home this weekend for mudfest? I will have my deuce there again this year...hard to miss it in the sea of Fords and Chevys! Come up and say hi... www.themud.com...
