The 8" Black Rock Fab lift kit should arrive Friday, January 6th. :shock:
Still waiting on the 2-camera & monitor system from Hong Kong. :?
In the meantime I am pondering a dual fuel tank setup. A 5-10 gallon tank will have diesel for starting/shutdown. The factory fuel tank will contain...
One of the SS members tried some warm WMO in his truck for his first alternative fuel batch and he made it about 5 miles before breakdown. Turns out the warm (HOT!) WMO caused the rubber hose inside the tank to pop off the fuel pump outlet bung at the top of the tank. His fuel pump was...
I just called EZY-LIFT and inquired about the flatbed version of the EZYLIFT 2000 for my bobbed deuce with the M105A2 bed. Regular price for the EZYLIFT 2000 flatbed version is $6,300+ and he offered me 20% off before the end of the year. That came to $5,000. Quite the sticker shock. Looks...
I talked to BJ's buddy Ross and he said he's a hard working guy. Ross also said he works fast. Judging by this thread I totally agree. Good thing he is going the three color camo because I'm going desert tan.
BJ, maybe you could help me with my bob project? Lol.
I have a 275 gallon IBC tote as well. A web search didn't really come up with any regulations for transporting oil based on container size. I seem to remember someone telling me you are okay as long as you transport in 55 gallons drums or smaller. Anybody know of any regulations out there for...
Man you work quick! I hope I have your energy once my lift kit gets here. Wanna help? LOL! Good job on the crossmember notching and boxing! It looks great.
Are you going to add any other supports for the stacked frame besides bolts on the bottom of the deuce frame? I have seen others...
Earlier this week I ordered a Gov't rebuilt deuce tranny and low air buzzer from AlfaHeaven.com. This will eliminate the current problems of popping out of 2nd gear and a lot of movement in 5th gear for my existing deuce tranny. I'll probably keep the existing tranny and rebuild it myself for...
In my own bob thread I talk about having a 5 gallon fuel tank for diesel and the factory deuce tank for WMO. I will be running a 3-way valve to a single external pump. Only 1 fuel gauge for the factory tank. I will post pictures when I'm done!
Good luck!
Where did you get your driveshaft work done? I was looking at Margot, Inc. in Baton Rouge for mine.
It looks like your driveshaft will hit the trailer frame crossmember. You take a look at that? Might get away with coping an arc out of it instead of total removal.
Based on that PDF with a maximum engine rpm of 2875 and a 5th gear ratio of 0.79 that would be: 2875 / 0.79 = 3639 rpm (max driveshaft rpm).
The chart indicates a max length of 45 inches for a 2.5 inch, 0.083 wall tube.
The chart indicates a max length of 64 inches for a 3 inch, 0.083 wall...
My local truck shop, Margot Inc., said that DOT will not allow a driveshaft longer than 68 inches without a carrier bearing. My bobber shafts are nowhere near that. Good luck!
