Cleaned up the front bumper and shackles. I'll swap the hardware when I pick up my Luverne brush guard in a few weeks. Also did a half-a.... job cleaning up the control arms and slapped some paint on there. CARC refits have always been a pet peeve of mine.

I'm still working on the center console. I got the repurposed transceiver switch connector done. Nothing exciting.

My dad would have slowly lowered the jack while I was under it........

Do you use the handheld U94? Or modify it for duplex?

https://asktractormike.com/product/tractor-or-zero-turn-heavy-duty-cup-holder/ Stumbled on it just searching around. I don't think I can just take the mount out. The bolt pattern is different from the sliders to the seat. There might be another set of holes though. I have considered bending a...

Popped the little hole plugs into underside of the hood, finishing up that project. Installed what I consider the absolute coolest strap on the entire truck. When you're on a multi hour convoy, you can kill time by counting the number of times it sways back and forth- Rebuilt the pintle...

I grew up in MA. How are the yearly inspections for you? Lights, glass, safety, but no sniffer?

Got the hood done. My wife works for DA, and at her building they just happened to have a bunch of expired cans of 686 matched touch up in the trash pile. I saved them. Next big project is the cooling stack and inner fenders. It's really the only place on the truck I haven't been except...

Finally fully floored. If anyone remembers the Fast and Furious heydays of the early 2000s, I was guilty of building plenty of fiberglass car parts. Since then, I've built plenty of actual racecar parts, so fiberglass is easy. This is even easier since it doesn't have to be perfect, just...

24v adjustable rate LED flasher and whatever Amphenol connector it is (I wrote it down somewhere). I put it all in a cheap waterproof project box roughly the same size as the Nartron flasher (and that fit under the dash where it should). I think I've got about $30-40 into it. If it fails, I just...

It was actually over the last few days, but I got the driver floor insulation, heater core, blower, etc, CO side floor insulation in, along with finishing up the HVAC duct/diverter. The only thing left there is the railcar tiedown decal. What a mess that's been trying to find....... I also got...

AMG #12339222 The adjustable intake vent on the RH footwell for the heater. Anyone have one kicking around?

I think those are designed for their (Predator) own bases, not the mil ones. Do they have the clips on the underside that slide under the rear of the base? If so, you can probably make them work if you want to source the tabs that rivet to the front of them for the draw latches.

Today I brought the hood I picked up on GP into the shop. The one on the truck was cracked in about 6 or 8 places and looked like it had been a hasty field replacement. No signal bucket closeout panels, footman loops, ziptied wiring harness, etc. Plus, the glue was green and the underside was...

Been lurking.... Today? When I picked up my 1097, it had been stripped of all the interior insulation. Literally, whoever turned it in had been told to "Take everything out of that vehicle", so they did, down to the bent metal tubes and screws. All they left was the chunk under the heater core...
