pulled the trailer bed off my bobbed deuce and modified a 14' flatbed off an old dodge d500 truck to fit. cut 4' off the end and turned vertical to make the cab protector. I'm still trying to figure out how to finish it out. haven't decided between expanded steel, or maybe lower half with wood...
I bought this one, and am happy with it. So far I have only used it to remove/reinstall the front tires and it worked fantastic. It is heavy and feels well built and even comes with sockets and a case for a good price...
well, that explains a lot. that card must have fallen out of the hole in the side of my shipping box. I was very confused since the instructions said nothing about grease either way. That's why I contacted C&C. Had I seen that warning note, I wouldn't have even thought twice about it.
oh man that sucks. I hope C&C will help get it sorted out for ya.

Step 1: remove old hub. 3/4" socket
Step 2: clean mating surface

i was especially interested in the fabrication that went into putting a hummer body on top of a deuce chassis and drivetrain. Had to take a closer look at the underbelly of this beast. Very impressive way to make a hummer street legal.
I was just hoping I could find a set of zipper boots today to throw on there and hold the oil/grease in long enough to make it to the show tomorrow. At this point I've decided against it and have started researching for the best overhaul kit.
As luck would have it, my front axle seal blew and spewed fluid all over the Inside passenger tire. Gonna have to order up a front axle seal kit and hope I can make it next time. Still hope to come by, but won't be bringing the deuce.
if anybody knows of a local source for zippered boots, I...
