I spent a day working on my trailer and getting lights wired for it. This is the Rock Crusher trailer with the dual rear stabilizer legs. I have the crusher off the trailer and disassembled for painting. I am changing the taillamps and using standard LED lamps in place of the LED military...
How about an M1010 body to overland trailer? Then you could almost stand up in it and sleep in it. Bonus is I am in Pennsylvania and have 4 to choose from.
I probably didn't change the water pump. I live by if it ain't broke don't fix it. I only change water pumps when they leak out the weep hold. Besides genuine GM water pumps are long extinct. The stuff that says A C Delco is just offshore reproductions and I don't care where it is built. If it...
Painted the underside of the hood again. Now I think it is too flat. I should have undercoated it with Rusfree.
I am stuck in one place and spinning my wheels here. Back in the day I bought semi flat black paint and it was a perfect match. I think matt black should be the same. But NOOOOO.
The thread title says CUCVRUS repair projects. But this is destructive projects. The M101 trailer got attention last week when someone wanted a leaf spring. I ended up selling the entire frame and making more room in my fence line. Everything worked out. I still have the springs, axle...
Take the headlamp bezel off with 4 - T 15 torx screws. Using a 3/8" swivel socket you can access the 3 right park/turn lamp bolts and service the bulb. Closely check the socket. it has a small thin grounding leg inside the socket that breaks and grounding is the issue. You also have a ground...
I just parked this picture here quickly and headed off to work for the day. As you can see I was designing a license plate holder and lamp attaching point. I think this will be the place. I am using standard automotive/truck parts I pick up in my travels thru life. I spend a lot of time thinking...
After thinking about the front clearance lamps over the past several months I have decided I am not going with this design. It is a great LED lamp I just think it is not protected and will be suspect to damage quickly. It has a glue pad on the rear of the lamp. I was surprised that I had to pry...
Not much to report. I did some final scuffing and cleaned the hood with the DX330 wax and grease remover. I painted the hood after taping the edges and left it in the shop while I went out and mowed grass and worked on my trailers. I was out till dark. Long day. Off to rest and back at it again...
I hope this Built in a Barn unit is doing well in Germany. I hope the repairs came out great from the accident it was involved in. Take Care and Be Safe.
This picture showed up on my Wife's Facebook as a 2 year reminder of completion. The Goodyear MTR tires make the final touch. Take Care...
After being in the Susquehanna River for 2 weeks this is what I found on my camera. The camera was found and so was Nemo. Win, Win.
I spent most of last night fixing the unknown left door dent from last year. I also installed the painted hood hinges.
After that I lowered the truck on the jack...
I worked on my project last night for a few hours. I scuffed and clean a pair of hood hinges and painted them. I will need to lower the front end from the stands to get the hood installed. The M1009's at a nice height to work on but a bit high for paint and reassembling the body. I will try and...
I still have it soaking in a bowl of Rice. I think it is fine. But after 15 days in the river I am cautious. It is probably a $200. camera. I received it as a gift. Glad I found it. It may be outdated but it still serves my needs. I don't need the latest and greatest. But I do on the daily...
WOW. Ohhh what a lucky man he was. My Brother offered a fishing trip yesterday afternoon. I went along. We went to the same place in Conowingo Maryland and fished. The water was low and where I was fishing, I decided to look around for my lost camera. I knew where I was when I lost it and...
I finally received a title, VIN tag, and license plate for my M1102 trailer. I bought it with a mishandled SF97 that was worthless. It was bough 5 years ago and handed from owner to owner. That was not legal. I took the trailer to a Pennsylvania vehicle enhancement shop and had the trailer...
No pictures. But it did happen. I managed to get the fenders aligned and properly shimmed. I still have the body semi floating on the frame as the cab mounts are all loose. Next up I will be getting the hinges and hood reattached and aligned. Being that I had the body lifted from the frame all...
