I really appreciate you sharing your build information for us. Yes, I ordered the Mack intake snorkel, but it was on back order. It should be in next week. 8)
Although it was 30% chance of rain all day I headed out to the home of Timntrucks. Tim finished welding up the rear lift blocks, plates, and cross tubes for me. We test fit the M105A2 bed one last time. I marked the patient for surgery. With help from the wonderful XM381.com website I...
I bought this one from LugWrench.Biz. It's got a 58:1 conversion. Timntrucks has seen me use it on my deuce at his house. It's the coolest thing since cold beer. Well, maybe not that cool.
It's $160 plus the ride.

As found on the Tweel Wikipedia page:
"The Tweel does have several flaws, however, the worst being vibration. Above 50*mph (80*km/h), the Tweel vibrates considerably, which in itself is a problem that also gives rise to undesired noise and heat. A fast-moving Tweel is unpleasantly loud[3] and...
Thank you so much for the intake part number. The Mack part number cross referenced to Donaldson H001660, and I found one at filterspro.com ($122).
Next question, what shocks did you go with? They look like Rancho. I want a single shock front/rear, and my bobber is 13 inches taller than with...
I snagged a 24v wireless GoLight Spotlight from the SS classifieds. It should be here soon.
Waiting on a set of deuce front springs to finish the rear of the lift kit install. Then we tackle the front part of the truck for the lift kit install!
Deloit, check the 3 picture albums that Toxic has listed in his profile. He has pictures of the steps down. Other construction pics there too!
Love this truck! So, what did you snag the intake from?
A quick google search came up with Catahoula Recreation and Offroad Park. It is located in Sicily Island, LA about 120 miles north of Baton Rouge.
Check out their site.

For the past few weeks I have been installing the lift kit with help from Timntrucks and lilbob. I drilled 40 holes for the rear blocks using the 1/4" cryobit first then following up with a 1/2" cryobit. I used 3-in-1 oil at least 3-4 times on each bit for each hole. It took 3-4 minutes per...
Sorry to keep the thread on a tangent, but here's my 4 1/2 year old male Great Dane, Hudson. He's 190 lbs. My wife's occupation is a professional dog handler. Hudson is an AKC Champion, Grand Champion, and a Canine Good Citizen. He's also one helluva guard dog for the deuce!
Here is a...
Glad you got it!
One day someone will try the "drop method" to separate the axle assembly from the frame and they will thank me! Took less than a minute! hehe
I still think we need to line the entire border of Kalifornia with massive amounts of det cord and set it off. Then take a few tug boats and drag the former state out into the Pacific ocean so they can make their own crappy country with crappy regulations. **** hippies.
We torched all of the rivet heads off and removed the side plates. No luck manually removing the rear axles. I had a friend pick my truck up several inches off the ground (from the pintle hitch in the rear) with his Deuce wrecker and drop it. It took 3 drops to separate the frame from the...
The lift kit is here! Kyle at Black Rock Fabrication is truly a metal master. Heck, his attention to detail on the crate and pallet to get my kit shipped here was nothing short of amazing!
I will start back on the bob project Saturday/Sunday. I've got website business meetings tomorrow. aua
What exactly makes up the adapter? Any pictures? If it is a set of small gears, could someone duplicate them for cheaper? Maybe a group buy could be arranged.
