What did you do to your deuce this week?

[todds112]

Checked the winch and found one side totally empty, no lube in there at all. The other side just barely had any in it. Decided to do the John Deere Corn Head grease thing. Put 3 tubes in each side. Pulled the cable out and spooled it back in a few times. Seems to work just fine. No weird noises or anything. Green grease for a green truck seems like a good combo!

Towards the bottom. That's what I paid at the local dealer.

Wish I would have had an air or electric grease gun. Wow, my hands are sore after emptying 6 tubes of it! I took the nipple end off the grease gun. Pumped the first tube up from the bottom, then the other 2 from the top. 3 tubes seemed to get everything pretty well covered in there. When or if my steering box starts to leak, I'll put it in there too.

My M35A2 winch plate says 10,000 pounds capacity. What is the most cable I can fit on the drum? I think my cable is 5/8"...

From other posts I gather it is 1/2" line and there is 200' of it.

How was it? I am looking at 1,500 mile ride and not sure what to expect.

Beat the major dents out of the hood, painted the front rims, installed new hood hold-down hooks, scored on 3 jerry cans with a donkey dong for a total of $15 on Craigslist and the dude was a normal human being, not some crack head selling stuff to maintain his habit! Two of the Jerry cans are 'Nam era, with one having the Marine Corps unit shield still visible on the side. I'm still shaking my head on that one.

Discovered the infamous rusted out j-pipe problem, so I ordered a new OEM pipe from realcustomtrucks, good price.

We used the deuce as a backdrop for baby pictures. We are gonna take monthly pictures of Gunner next to the deuce growing up.

Looks like little Gunner there is a bit disappointed he's not in the driver's seat jamming gears and making black smoke!

 

[renodogs]

Slept in it, and again tonight.

Mama caught you buying another gun, huh?

 

[renodogs]

Been done.

Ever experience any sidewall rub with that configuration? Those certainly seem to have better thread than NDT's for off road traction.

Waiting. Insurance papers to arrive so I can get it inspected, and parts for the exhaust and bumper

Not too bad. You should be able ( or I can) do 600 miles or better at a time. If you haven't done it already, now is the time to do a seat upgrade. I forgot my butt cushion and I'm still paying for it. Seat upgrade has been moved up on my list.
