I cannot say because I'm at work but have you tried PMing Aaron (Peashooter)? I know it was in his previous for sale thread for his adapter plates but that one may have been deleted. I does make sense to get the best price you can cause they add up. I will also add that those bolts motivated...

I have installed MRAP seats on to stock springer bases. These are sometimes available for cheap. I have used both the driver seat and the troop seats. They usually include the five point belts. Easy to do and make a world of difference. Another thing that makes a world of difference is a new...

Sometimes you do have to lock the wheels. This is towed-truck specific, I'm guessing to differences in steering caster setting variations. Some trucks will not want to move straight any distance at all, immediately turning the wheel all the way to one side or the other when pulled. Others will...

Correct

I also do not agree about limited off-roading. The reason I needed widened wheels in the first iteration of my truck was because I am always articulating the suspension a bunch. The reason some of us know about ripping the stem out of the tubes when you air down is because we are surrounded by...

Dirt and other trucks...been there, done that. BEWARE!!! Getting the first one sure makes it easy to go get more. That 855 cubic inches can sure drag stuff well. Serious off-the-line grunt compared to the A2s.

Back to the OP: I did exactly as you trying to save the money for the proper wheels and such. I bought tire close to me to save shipping. I mounted my own tires using tips on this site to save cost. I had two wheels widened to alleviate the interference with the fender well louvers and...

It took me a few hours for several days, forget exactly how long. I know it was a 12 pack job though:)

Yeah, but at least in the part of Texas I live in, humidity in the air is not a big problem. Last night, the weatherman said the relative humidity was 8%.

One of the components for algae blooms is water. Treatments are great but limiting the amount of water that ingresses is also important. A well sealed storage tank and as little as possible head space are the goal. Just do not completely eliminate air in a storage tank by filling completely or a...

I have seen threads discuss the problem on here. From basic electricity training - current in a simple circuit will be the same everywhere in that circuit. If you have batteries in series (does not matter how many) the current will be the same to or from the batteries. The 12 volt tap between...

I have heard that gasoline is good at killing it. And deuces can tolerate some gasoline...

I would use it on my stuff. I have done the same in the past and have on hand, fluid that I intend to use in the future. My thought is that it is much better than DOT3 with regard to moisture contamination. I throw out opened bottles of DOT3 one year after I open them despite keeping the bottle...

While I agree that there is a significant element of danger, I do not agree that it is not easy. The replacement diaphragms I got were in stock at NAPA with part numbers MBI-DP12 and MBI-DP16 (size 12 and 16 diaphragms, may as well do both on the stack while you are there). Someone on here...

Most have marine grade plywood.

Sorry to hear of your injury. FYI to you and others - When I flipped the hubs on my deuce, I used a HF pneumatic impact hammer with a blunt punch tip to knock out the studs. The only drawback was to render the letter on the end of the studs illegible.

Don't overthink it. You only need it temporarily, it is easy to accomplish, you have no intention of off-roading, it does make for convenient access while the rest of the truck is fully loaded, it is easy to load and unload. They all sound like very good reasons to me. I would add a secondary...

I have not tried them (or even seen them) but I can say the standard offset aluminum MRAP wheels with Peashooter adapters and 395 Michelins fit the deuce about perfect. On the front, they are just right to prevent contact with the fender lip on the outside of the tire and just barely touch the...

The axe and pick mattock are available at hardware stores that look very similar to original once you paint them so. The shovel can be bought made by the original manufacturer (True-Temper I think) but the handle is about 2 inches too long (these are available at hardware stores also). From a...

Class B without the CDL. That way eliminates medical checks.
