I've put over 2k highway miles on my deuce and it's a struggle to keep it in the lane if the road is rough. Fortunately, I live in a state (WA) with generally good roads. There have been a few instances where I've had to drop my speed to keep it from careening out of my lane and potentially...

I want to go here:

I'm thinking I'm gonna be needing some extra room in the engine bay and going with an exterior air intake. I've seen pics of the m35a3 and am concerned at what appears to be an obstruction of sight because it sits pretty high. Does anyone have a comment about the air intake on the a3 and if it...

I've already put on a new muffler (Donaldson), & extended the stack a couple feet (I plan on putting on a 7 foot camper in the box so the extended stack won't look as funny then). I don't want to relocate the exhaust out the back - life is full of compromises. I also have the D turbo. Right...

I've had a list of things I've wanted to do to the deuce since I bought the thing and I've just taken the first big step and hired a guy to rebuild the cab from the doors up. It's essentially just gonna be a copy of the existing cab with some modifications. I've decided to make the cab 4...

I'm thinking of mounting a 81 gal fuel tank from a M939 on my deuce. I'm trying to figure out the total space and I think mine might be tight. I wonder if anyone's that got one mounted could tell me the width - from the frame to the outside of the tank (that is, the tank with the brackets)...

Anyone have any tips on driving the deuce overseas? I already know that there are lots of city streets that this thing won't fit, especially in older cities. Preliminary plans are to bring a motorcycle, park and drive the bike when I get to a place I where I want to spend time. And I'm not...

Driving on the freeway today when the low air warning buzzer comes on. Pull onto an exit ramp (that's on a slope) within probably 100 yards, all the while slowing down. As I come to a stop I got both feet on the brakes because I've lost pressure. But one tank was still fine, at just under 120...

I've thought about how I might put on some bumper platforms and figured I'd post my rough plans here and ask for any input. Plan is fairly simple: 1/4 inch plate steel (I'll look at diamond plate or maybe something else when I'm at the steel yard and compare prices). I have a stick welder...

Recently flipped the hubs in the rear with a friend, though really I was the one helping him as he's a professional car mechanic. While we were at it, we cleaned everything up, put in new grease and checked the brakes, putting in new seals, etc. On one side, the center (#2) axle, oil had...

So, I'm looking at some https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/4697/Cab-Insulation-Kit and the price is right, but it's in a wooden crate and would cost $300 to ship to me. Probably still worth it, but I'm on a budget (who isn't?). I thought I'd post here and maybe catch someone moving...

Title says it all. About every 15 hours of use and the cable connectors vibrate loose. I have the original metal battery box. Can someone recommend a solution? Anyone ever try Nord washers? Anti-vibration mats/foam? A better battery connector?

I'm gonna start this by saying I'm fine with the original seat, though there was too much cushion in the back. So, I have no intention of changing it out. I recently did reupholster the driver's side seat, the canvas was ripped and decided to take the pieces to a pro. I had removed the frame...

An idea popped into my head last night and I thought I'd run some of it by people here. I know there are keyed power switched out there, but I want to go a step further and customize it a bit more. Is the power switch as simple as completing a circuit? What I'm thinking of doing is using a...

This is my introduction as a new (to me) deuce owner. First time owning one or anything like it. I'm good at learning new things and figured what the ****. So, I casually look for a while bid on a few auctions and finally find one in my budget from a member here. Talk to him on a Thursday...
