Yea, I understand m16ty, but I had to cringe when reading the "You paid WHAT...." thread. Do I tell these guys what I paid? Nah...they'll tear me up. But then I started adding it up. What does a recovery cost, to start with? A day or so off work, cost of extra parts, fuel, etc. I didn't have to...

Ah, finally someone who thinks like me. I needed a Deuce that was road ready right now, recently serviced, new tires, brakes inspected, bearings, seals, batteries, belts, hoses, all elctrical, lights, signals, horn, no leaks anywhere, new seats, EVERYTHING 100 %, with bumper to bumper warranty...

How 'bout leave all the axle guts in and run a drive shaft back to the trailer.........

There is more to consider than the cost of fuel : registration is dirt cheap, insurance is dirt cheap, and no speeding tickets. Those three things alone make driving the Deuce cheaper than my Toyota. Add to that , no more running to the body shop everytime a shopping cart bumps into the vehicle...

Maybe because its new to me, but I drive my 109 everywhere. Its especially fun to pull up to the Starbucks at the mall and watch the Prius crowd pee their pants...8<)

Mine would say : "Thank goodness we have no Home Owners Association !" Alex

I chose the year myself. The data plate sez Kaiser-Jeep, which was purchased from Willys-Overland around 1965, I think. Then, like y'all said, sold to AM General around 1970. I could pick any year inbetween there, so its a '66. Alex

Another 109 in new Mexico, COOL !

I've done the rear steer thing on a smaller vehicle(Datsun pickup) , there are issues: 1. When travelling slowly and turning corners you want the rear wheels to turn OPPOSITE directions from the front. 2. When changing lanes you want them to go the SAME direction. 3. You can get the vehicle a...

Just because there isn't any good reason to get hassled doesn't mean that you won't. As an example, I had a Crown Victoria with an amber arrow stick on the rear deck. What a friggin hassle. No markings, civilian plates, no strobes, red or blue lights. The neighborr kids burnt it to the ground...

Welcome aboard the fora. Airsoft is cool, it teaches one to get the hell off the X, and thats a good thing. And ammo is cheap 8<) Your machine is the same vintage as mine, more or less : Alex

This one seems pretty effective: Alex

JasonS, My specialty is infrared detectors. Alex

Did you start out saying " Here, hold my beer and watch this ! "? Experiences like your sgive me a deep respect for mud. Alex

Thats one hell of an exhausts stack, oh wait, thats a telephone pole 8<) Congrats on your purchase. Alex

That commercial unit specs a current draw of 68 amps at 24 volts, pretty close to what scooterrts calculated. So I think the math is good. Its also interesting that for an idea that shouldn't work there is an off the shelf solution available. That is actually the #1 reason for the success I have...

Hmmm, I've seen the EV (electric vehicle) guys do it this way in AZ: It takes about 2 hp to run a compressor. Mount a 2hp DC electric motor anywhere it will fit and drive the compressor with that. The EV guys don't connect the compressor directly to the traction motor (what we call the engine)...

A little off topic: so you're poking along the interstate at 52 MPH, do you run the 4 way flashers, a yellow becon, what do we do to avoid getting rearended by an 80,000 lb semi doing 80 mph? Alex
