    planning an LDS swap

    Got the truck all stripped-down, and I'm putting together a list of parts to order. Finally going to get started on this engine-swap. Who's got oil pan gaskets in stock, and can I get a pre-made gasket for the mating surface between the block and the bellhousing, or should I just make one? How...

    transfercase PTO specifications

    Oh man, I feel like an IDIOT. Of course you're right. I knew that, I swear... I decided NOT to buy the hydraulic pump that was on the truck I got one of these PTO's off of because I had no idea what the specs were.

    fail-proofing full hydro steering

    Just posted this over on pirate4x4, but I know there are a lot of people on here that know a lot about hydraulics too, and I'd appreciate any helpful input on this subject. I know - it's not possible to fail-proof anything. But I'm building an offroad-oriented motorhome (M109 conversion) that I...

    transfercase PTO specifications

    No, I've already got a transfercase-mounted hydraulic PTO unit (two of them actually - anybody need one?). These are both the type that engage/disengage. I'm just wondering what the specs are on these.

    Airpack modification for towing

    Well, they do like to HUNT rabbits, and squirrels, and racoons, and deer, and birds, and basically anything else that they can chase. That pups Mom and Dad took down a young deer that wandered into my backyard last fall.

    Goldmine!!!

    Sweet! Thanks. Looks like I need to see what else I'll need in order to get the one I've got installed on Mah Deuce.

    which generator/s for motorhome project?

    I've started designing the enclosure and floorplan for my new M103A3 trailer/workshop, and man, it's tight. The lack of space has got me looking into engine-driven generators. I talked to the people at Real Power, but they're focused more on providing turnkey packages for late-model trucks and...

    Goldmine!!!

    Oh, and how much for the smaller of those two steering wheels? What's the diameter, and do the splines match a deuce wheel?

    Goldmine!!!

    What's that windshield wiper motor in post 36 go to? I think I've got one just like that. Was hoping it was for the electric wiper conversion for deuces, but haven't had a chance to look into it.

    Custom trailer idea using a couple of M103A3's

    I think I'd want to use the bogey and suspension from a deuce to mount the trailer axles, so they would be interconnected and wouldn't be spaced too far apart.

    Deuce Skid Plates

    I'd love to do that, but I'm turning my M109 into a motorhome, so space is at a premium. Going to carry the spare tire in the trailer, but need to mount another fuel tank where the spare was carried. Trying to see if I can find a couple of lower-profile tanks to use instead of the stock ones. If...

    Deuce Skid Plates

    I would LOVE to see some pictures of what they came up with. I'm just starting to think about this now, and I'm going to start by reconfiguring all of the storage under the cab for a bit more ground clearance. I'm going to replace the steps with some type of tubular rocker-panel guards to...

    Spare tire mount on 105.

    I've got one of the upright spare tire carriers that were used on the 5-ton tractors that I'm planning on mounting on the tongue of my M103A3. It's going to have to sit up a little higher than the top of the framerails though, in order to clear the landing gear and the hand-brakes. What type of...

    Posting Pictures

    I'm just about ready to start a build thread on Mah Deuce (I've got about 300 images so far), and I'd REALLY like to be able to post using [img] tags. I usually host all of my images on my own site (trails less traveled), but I wouldn't mind uploading images to the SS servers. I'd just like to...

    Airpack modification for towing

    I got that 5-ton airpack complete with these air-tanks. Planning on mounting the air tanks under the cab, on the driver's-side of Mah Deuce.

    Airpack modification for towing

    I started a thread, asking about swapping the airpack over to a 5-ton unit. But now I'm wondering whether I might just be able to take some of the parts off the 5-ton air-pack and put those on the stock 2.5-ton airpack. But I don't really know how these work, or if that's possible. I just want...
