    Project Shanty: Bolster plus Improvised Shelter equals Camper

    I was wondering the same...could you reverse the mounting of the bed and the shelter and use the extending tongue as a variable length type front porch. I personally would like that idea. If you need to move the trailer could be compact and if more space needed easily grow a few feet. As for...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    Wow, that looks really plush...I have two Corbett seats in the M38a1. How about air or heat? With the top that could be quite the rig.

    New Guy Here

    Welcome, I really appreciate you putting up those photos. Some discussion has been put forward as to the reg. on art on vehicles. Do you care to share? Seems those Vs were pretty dolled up. I find its good to study history but always more rewarding to get first hand knowledge. :-)

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    From those shots you really get the half size bobber feel. Really wish there was a better configuration for the headlights. That is a jeep only a father would love. rofl Looking good gavan. Looks like your ready for some primer. What shape is your hard top in?

    Small tool found in deuce. What is it?

    Looks like a candidate for a reinvention when I come across a large steel tire valve off a loader. Curious could someone post up a pic of the inside of the blow gun. Curious about the valve side and how it worked. Guessing it is identical to the Schrader valves we are all familiar with.

    Project Off-Grid M109A3 w/w log

    Smaller lines with only one bend I've found using weed-eater line will keep the kinks out. Sand sounds pretty good too. I will have to try it.

    paint looks dusty

    Could be humidity based. Will cloud some finishes, but I assume that the paint is a flat so would doubt too much clouding going on. Cloudy paint? Cloudy Paint [Archive] - Autobodystore Forums

    Fiberglass Dash?

    If you need to secure the foam down nice and hard I would use some Copper wire that is pretty thin and twist it down. You can cut it loose latter and it won't rust. Looking good can't wait to see how it turns out.

    Has anyone thought about converting to an electric air pump?

    For on board air (non-deuce obviously) I use a CO2 tank. 22 bucks a fill up and for my needs last pretty long time. Its a 20 lb cylinder. Has anyone thought about using a High-pressure system as a back up? Some issues are the air charge is cold at high flow and lets not forget dangerous...

    go prepared

    keep from hanging up and puncturing the tank i.e. smallish stick. I carry: 5 gal gass fluids smallish tool box fits in a 40mm can about the size of a fat 50 with wrenches screw drives and assorted tools at least one chain maybe a hand winch or highlift block of wood water something that will...

    dump truck with hooklift hoist container system

    Palletized load system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I have seen the smaller cargo version its with a cab over type truck that is in the modern inventory. They are really cool. I think using a knuckle boom and a set of roll-off style skids would make a really useful all around cargo...

    I just bought an M38A1

    I've always wondered about the detergent blend foaming alittle in that block. Alot of splashing going on in the case. Any thoughts? As for OD being BS, that person does not understand basic gearing. I'll take a 10 hp engine to 80 mph with a >12 gear box. Now it may be more practicle to drop...

    Sweet. Thanks for the citation I pulled it somewhere and just didn't remember where. What ever rendering software he uses is nice. Yeah Gavan since yours is up in the air that pics wouldn't work. There is an 11 gall scratch and dent on that site I posted. Slightly discounted. I'm still...

    WOW!!!!! Lots of sources for rubber bump stops come to mind but weight would crush most I can think of. Dito on using the limiting straps or chain. Rubber Dock Bumper : Dock Bumpers : C&H Distributors Here south of you Northern Tool has these. I'm sure you could find a set. I would think...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Garage...ign=GoogleBase Here is a thought, the above tank is smaller and would be about right. At 9MPG range of about 90 mi. I would still put a couple jerry cans mounted on the bed but I think this would be a pretty cool look to it. Some vehicles just don't...
