Great. I don't show up and theres 2 new LMTVs.

I'm going to check the inner bearing to make sure its seated properly but I think its the distance. Sitting on a flat surface the hubs are the same length but the outer bearing seat is at least 2" further outbound than the original one.

Well 1 step forward and 2 steps back. I started putting the left side back together and the 1st thing I did was compare hub depth because I was concerned the spindle might be too long. Not an issue as both were exactly the same depth. So onward and upward! And that was my big mistake. I...

On the trailer behind the trailer :naner: Actually I was told we're getting a pop-up privacy tent for the shower hookup so the 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat will be going in there. I'll still use a tree.

The knee is fine. The ligaments that are attached to it and have shortened and tightened up over the last 5 weeks are what's causing the problem now. Stretching those back out and getting range of motion back can't be done by surgery.

It follows me everywhere I go. Started PT this weeks so only 6-7 years and I should be good as new.

New backing plates and drums (and bearings, caps, etc). It was going to cost about $300 per side to get backing plates with parking brakes. They would have been nice to have but not worth the money. I can buy a lot of chock blocks for the money I saved.

this was the problem with mine. Once it was cleaned up everything started working fine.

There's no real sense putting a lot of work into the shelter until the trailer is ready for it so I got started on that this afternoon (this morning I had my 2nd torture session at the physical therapist). What I'd like to do is keep the stock axle and just change backing plates/hubs/drums. I...

I have one. And a M1078. I just don't want to drive 500 miles in one of them to go camping for 2 days.

This one is only about 56" wide on the inside and 66" long inside. With the water tank and hot water heater taking up a lot of interior space sleeping inside is not an option. Besides, to me camping is still an outdoor sport. I'll use a tent to keep the bugs or rain off but still want to feel...

RTT is probably the last step (and purchase due to price). I'm leaning toward a Gordigear but might have to settle for a SmittyBilt just because of price. I've got one but have been hesitant to use it because I don't want to get the brace soaked. I might just wrap it in a garbage bag though...

I started PT on Tuesday so getting exercise IS part of the healing. Maybe but I'd like to get it down to a coat of single color.

Looks like the mast portion would be easy enough to fab. Any thing unique about the lights?

Can't do a lot until I get out of the leg brace, including climbing into the back of the LMTV where most of my tooks are, but I did do a little bit of work on the door latch mechanism. I'm going to need to pull the entire thing apart to clean and lube it good but at least I've gotten started...

That's kind of my thought as well. Not sure if they would have put any kind of insulation in there during the '50s (which I'm guessing this is from - early '60s latest) but I'd like to clean it out good before I use it. Likely just replace the rivets with Clecos.

With the number of holes I think the aluminum would be cheaper :).

The monsoon from yesterday has moved through so I was able to open the shelter up for a better look at the floor. Given the condition of the sides I wasn't expecting much and got exactly what I was expecting. Several big rot spots so both the inner and outer floor sheets will need to be...

Thank you. That fixed the pop-ups for me. And thanks to Juan for starting the thread. I would have just lived with it and cussed to myself.

Yes just something that started appearing recently. On my screen they're doubled up (same ad stacked on top of the other one).
