Overlord, sorry for your troubles. Glad you have a place to take your Iron to. Do you know if it is a drug problem, or is it people who are not working, what is causing the issues out your way?
I have done the vice grip thing in the past, I was just thinking that if it was just a wheel cylinder, it would save a ton of work to be able to lock that section off.
I did not know that about the wreckers though.... good stuff!
Has anyone ever used a line lock front and bake to isolate the brakes in case of a failure? I was thinking this would work as a limp home measure if one should loose either a front or a rear brake line or cylinder.
I have been looking for the actual schematic for the rear wiring harness on a m939 truck for about 2 days now. Maybe I am loosing my mind, but I can not seem to find it in the TM's. I thought this should be in the Organizational level TM, but there does not seem to be one for the M-939 series...
Great write up! I just made a deal on my first deuce, and will hopefully have it home in about a month. it is an older non-turbo model, with winch. She needs plenty of TLC, but I am up for the challenge!
I would like to say for the record, that I am n need of a deuce bed. I would love to find a dropside if possible. I am in NJ, so say within.... 500 miles of here. I just bought my first Deuce, and it has a rotted out wood bed on it now.
You are oin to want a care controller, but make sure you get one rated at minimum 12 amps, the panels have a nominal rating, and in direct sun, could surpass that rated power. I usually look for a 20% higher rating than the panel just to be safe, or the panel can burn out the controller.
That seems to have worked out well... good camo job! Just curious, do you leave the chain and lock on while driving or do you take it off, I don't see much chipping of the paint around the can...
Thank you for all of the work you have done, and sharing it with everyone here. You have saved me the time and effort of trying to figure this out myself....
Nice job on the framing. You might want to consider letting in a couple of 2 x 4's on an angle in the walls, it will stiffen the rig substantially laterally. What did you use for the skylights? are they store bought units?
