I don’t know what to do. there’s no TM for this roof I can find, and it seems like a poor design for water run off in general, lots of holes, gaps at the corners, no drip rails on the sides like the original 1045 roofs, etc.
There’s like 30ish bolt holes in the roof and I’m not sure if it comes...
Mine is crumbling away too, messy stuff. I am going to try and preserve the outer layer to use as a template for cutting the new material.
I had thought about using some kind of foam but that could be squeaky. This mineral wool stuff is great for sound, repeals water, and could work...
I went out in the dark but this is what I could get:
2 shots show the passenger seat getting wet on the tunnel side. It must be soaked from the roof but I haven’t seen any obvious spot it’s coming from.
one shot is near the rear wheel well, it’s leaking real low, and the foam gasket To the...
What’s a good quality sealant?
The top inside edge if the passenger seat gets soaked. And water comes in the rear corners, behind where it could get to if it snuck in the doors.
if someone could explain what all these different types of Seam sealer are that would be helpful. I think I’ll...
I went with something similar. P100 for dust and also rated for organic compounds. Figured it would help if I spray anything but I also do a lot of wood finishing so it’ll be dual use.
now if only I had someone else’s parking lot to do my sanding in lol!!
I’d like to get some clarification on sanding carc for repaint.
would a good dust mask from Lowes or HD work? Like the kind that take filters for drywall ???(drywall dust is real fine and usually yourvacuum needs a heppa filter to filter it out)
also since the only place I have to sand this...
3 questions:
1- Does anyone know if there’s a breakdown of this top in the TMs? I looked in the 1165 parts TM but nothing came up when searching for top, roof, turret, sponson, wall, nada.
2- can you weld some of these seams and fill-the screw holes without melting whatever rubber seal is in...
It’s the 1165 hard top.
I think it could be modified it with some welding and stuff. But I’d consider selling the top or whole truck beforE I went to that trouble I think.
I got my truck over the weekend. It’s been raining and all four seats are soaked. I wasn’t expecting it to be 100% dry but I was expecting it to be somewhat dry!
anyone have any ideas? Can you use seam sealer around the turret? What about filling gaps at the rear corners? Better drip edge...
I am looking at these guns. What tip size do you need for CARC substitute? Probably that Gillsepie brand? And maybe some clearcoat.
They have 1.4mm 1.7mm 1.8mm 2mm....
And what would be considered a "heavy grade airless coatings gun"
I emailed Mickey Thompson about their Baja tire and they said it wasn’t tested/rated.
this tire came up and the price is tempting, but also because it’s a 10ply E2 load range. Most others at C range.
Just wish the tread was more aggressive...
All these filters should be right at my local auto parts store right? There’s not some magic to a military filter or gasket that I need special?
Asking because I’m a noob.
ok- I was in TB-9-2320-335-13&P. Parts manual for the 11xx trucks.
Is that book just an add on to the other parts TMs??
Basically - which ones should i download to my computer so I can “find on page” what I need in PDF form?!?!? I have the 3 volumes on unit maintenance, the 11xx series...
I’ve been waiting for mine and have a bunch of questions too.
I’d hope every bit and bolt on this thing are SAE !?
What level respirator do you need for sanding the CARC Paint!?
I’ve been looking through the TMs —things seem hard to find. I found the lubrication table with capacities of...
