When you park your Deuce on a inclined driveway........

[Deuce-bigalo]

OK - If I was to get something like a deuce, I would have to park it in the driveway. I would likely back it in. Here's my question:


For those of you who have deuces, if your only option is to park it in the declining driveway (backed up the incline), do you strickly depend/rely on a/several wheel choks? Is there something else you can do to prevent someone getting in and trying to (hypothetically) pop it out of gear [!] and watch it roll out of the driveway into the house across the street for fun?? :nono: :freaked:

I know there is a parking brake , however what else do y'all do to ensure it STAYS in it's spot?



Thanks!

Lower your outriggers?

I use almost soley the parking brake. I dont even like to leave it in gear as it starts way to easy in gear...

A 12"x12" piece of wood ? Metal? How does that set up?

NEVER leave it in gear. all the manuals say dont. it can and will start too easily.

RDD, I was just wondering if I understood you correctly.



How does that set up? means:

If it was a 12"x12" piece of wood, is it shaved at all to give more contact to the tire? Do you place it there on just one side or do you have two? One for each side?



Just wondering.



Thanks!

 

[red devils dude]

O it's just a peice of wood you know rectanglur and theres just one.

Would you want to try pairs of chocks chained/padlocked together on both fore and aft sides of a wheel (sort of like a Denver boot) to prevent them from being removed by wayward hooligans? probably unnecessarily complicated, but the best I can think of at the moment...

 

[Deuce-bigalo]

I don't know. Kids can get into anything and if they wanted to raise some hell I would hate to see the deuce across the street the next morning.

I didn't know you weren't supposed to put it into gear when parked, unless I'm missing the joke (4 day week and they all feel like Mondays!)

I see what you mean Opie, don't want to go overkill - just wondered what y'all had been using if there was a similar situation to mine!

Thanks for the responses so far guys, I think it's BEER TIME!! AUGH!

Do you have access to pet rattlesnakes that will keep the neighborhood hooligans out of the cab.
You can use wheel chocks, or a piece of 12x12, or 6x6. I have also seen wheel locks that fit between the duals and they use pressure against each wheel to lock them. Hang tight and i think i know where i saw those... brb............

 

[red devils dude]

pond a post 4 feet in the ground and chain the truck to it

 

[Wyattearp]

Okay here is the information as i have these in mind for my deuce, wheel chocks are okay but these babies should work wonderful.
Go to this site: www.genosgarage.com look under towing Accessories they are called ROTOCHOK...

I am a member of the www.turbodieselregister.com site and Geno's is our go to for filters, etc.

I leave the fuel shut off pulled out.. how could it start?

Hey, that one would work pretty well to keep mice out of the cab as well [] []

 

[Lee Alessi]

the fuel shut off wont let it start, but all it takes is the one time you forget, or it wears out, or fails or whatever. i just use the ebrake and a wheel chock

 

[mangus580]

I like RDD's idea!! Chain it up like a dog... [^] then hang a set of balls from the back... and put a beware of dog sign in front of it...
