Certainly compared with a modern pick-up with anti-lock brakes you'll be getting something different with a deuce. It's almost 7 tons of fun. Just today I was in stop and go traffic and traffic started to speed up and stopped just as suddenly, I was going about 20 when everything stopped. I...

Title says it all. About every 15 hours of use and the cable connectors vibrate loose. I have the original metal battery box. Can someone recommend a solution? Anyone ever try Nord washers? Anti-vibration mats/foam? A better battery connector?

These things were in the military long after they stopped making a specific model and it's certainly possible it's been modified by them before it left.

Nice, economical solution.

Little late to this party, but this is how I have mine mounted and also the way they appear in the literature (assuming Michelin cares which way that is).

Besides temp, do the insulation/mats also help with quieting noise from the engine?

I haven't installed Swampdonkey's lights, but I have read the thread. While SD's solution looks great, the only other pics in the thread don't appear to show the same results and this has made me reconsider his solution. The lenses are clear, from the Humvee and longer I believe. The point...

Short notice, but there's a Vietnam Veteran Car Show in Bellingham on Sunday (the 23rd). I had my deuce at another classic car show this past Sat, in Lynden, when I was handed a flyer for this coming show. It's not an MV event, and after e-mailing the coordinator it looks like mine is the only...

I can't answer your question, but just wondering, easily raises it how, like with a lift strut?

My 1100 mile trip when I first bought my deuce I got ~8 mpg. Almost all freeway speeds around 55, sometimes as high as 58. I've read other threads about people getting as high as 12 mpg, though 9-10 seems more common. I've been running straight diesel. My trip did include driving over the...

Search ebay for "mrap adapter plates" This is where I got mine, identical to the ones mentioned elsewhere here, as far as I could tell. I bought the bolts from Tri-State Fasteners.

You can do it on a budget, if you have access to army surplus tires. My set up came in around $2k and I think if I did it again I could do it for less. To be on topic, I read on Friday about a classic car show in a neighboring town on Saturday, called to see if they'd be ok with my classic and...

I'm gonna start this by saying I'm fine with the original seat, though there was too much cushion in the back. So, I have no intention of changing it out. I recently did reupholster the driver's side seat, the canvas was ripped and decided to take the pieces to a pro. I had removed the frame...

I don't know if it'll fit the deuce, but doing a little bit of research here, I found 2 threads where people said they took the bed to the crusher and the weight came in south of 1600 lbs. Another thread about the M1078 had their bed at 2360 lbs. Even if there were some issues about what...

I have cable valves on my truck, they're a budget solution. $18/pair at Big Mike's.

My center offset rims don't rub. I have a couple of spare ones if you're interested, we're close by (I'm in B'ham) if you want to consider it.

GCR (a big truck tire chain) charged me $500 to repair/swap three 395's and dismount 2 others so I could dispose of them. They were gonna charge me another $100 for disposal, but I got a better deal myself from the local dump ($20/each). The wheel type are the green ones in the pic and another...

An idea popped into my head last night and I thought I'd run some of it by people here. I know there are keyed power switched out there, but I want to go a step further and customize it a bit more. Is the power switch as simple as completing a circuit? What I'm thinking of doing is using a...

In addition to solar, had you considered wind as well? Not instead of, but as accompanying.
