    Modifying the front of my expando-van habitat

    Btw, the front chamfer is too allow cab tilt, while having the habitat positioned with the wheel wells over the truck tires as close as possible and as far forward as possible. The habitat actual has 3 wheel wheel per side even though the trailer only has two axles, but the spacing is closer on...

    Modifying the front of my expando-van habitat

    I did a lot of cutting and dissecting on the front of this currently trailer mounted habitat that will go on my M1083A1. Water had gotten in there and caused a lot of rust and aluminum rot from wet fiberglass. I needed to modify the front anyway so all of that had to go. I have completed the...

    MasterCraft seats

    Yeah eBay is full of people who lower the price but then add it to the shipping hoping you won't notice! There's no way that's $900 shipping unless it's shipping from Madagascar!

    That USPS is out of control. Of course the diesel prices and everything else have driven up the shipping rates like crazy. Just to send a flat rate small box that will barely ship a wallet is $12!

    MasterCraft seats

    I've seen some for $600 today and one for $375 https://www.ebay.com/itm/404606515520?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=mqzlvodqsho&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=sXobryLWQ72&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    MasterCraft seats

    I have seen a great swing of prices for those both on various military parts resellers and eBay. Sometimes a couple hundred dollars sometimes a couple thousand. I'm wondering if those are comfortable?

    Toad steerable? (steerable towed vehicle)

    Nice well I've been eyeing the possibility of a samurai as my tow vehicle! Love the name it fits

    Fmtv brake tools.

    3D printers are not so expensive. Couple hundred dollars for a cheap Chinese one, but I don't buy cheap Chinese crap if I can avoid it. That's a Prusa printer made in Czech Republic. And no Chinese parts. They're just under a thousand and I've had it for 3 years. About $700 if you buy it as a...

    Fmtv brake tools.

    That's 100% out of the printer. I've had very good results with this material, and using a gyroid infill you can easily fill it with polyester resin or some other epoxy. Then it's solid and hard. I'm not sure I need to though this material is so very hard and strong.

    The brake plunger seal driver: And the brake adjusting tool, or at least the guide for adjusting the brakes.

    Fmtv brake tools.

    3D printing of one of the the brake tools nearly done. The inside has a gyroid pattern which is cool because you can fill it with epoxy which is what I will do once it's done printing. Gyroid is kind of like a Mobius strip in 3D form. Pouring in epoxy will go all the way to the bottom and...

    Fmtv brake tools.

    These tools are expected to be made out of hot rolled steel. I'm going to try 3D printing them in carbon fiber polycarbonate and see how they do. You may download the SolidWorks or step file or STL file. I may offer them for sale later or if you're interested PM me for a 3D printed version...
