called my willys jeep the crack ho for the following reasons
made horrible noises at the worst moment for no discernable reason
acted like the world was ending and 2 minutes later all was sweetness and light
demanded all my money and still wasnt satisfied
erratic behavior 24-7
on my truck
part A has a hole drilled in it to accept a padlock
the backdoors can be locked from the inside
same with the passenger
then a padlock for the tiremount/driver door
the two exterior storage compartments already have tabs for locks welded on.
things i have right now installed
block heater
locking hubs
12v
turn signals
wiper motors (need arms/blades)
have but havent installed yet
new powerking super traction tires
40000 btu heater
i have some of those super powerful little magnets that i took out of some old hard drives
i will attach them to those heat tubes
that way you can stick the tube anywhere ya want and they will stay
i am already thinking pointing one at the windshield
theres my defroster
BTW
i did use a 3 inch wide roll of gorilla tape and sealed the 1 inch gaps around the windshield
i dont care if it aint correct
something had to be done right now
sometime when i am feeling flush i will buy the correct seals and stuff
but its water/air tight right now
i hated the idea of water...
you can get persnickety and try to seal every air leak on one of these antique rigs. or you can take the scorched earth /brute force approach (my personal technique) and pump such a massive amount of heat into the cab it doesnt matter how many leaks you have
i have used a 28000 one in my willys and could drive around in zero degrees with the window all the way open
these items are a bit pricey at $400
but i only need to buy it once
4 year warranty
been fairly busy getting things sorted out
old vehicles HATE not being used regular
all sorts of weird crap pops up
the willys was the same way
use it all the time and it works like a top
ignore it for a few months and get ready to get yer hands dirty
doesnt help that is has been between -10f...
on the lucas website
these flaps are the suggested product to go with 9x16 tires and tubes
i freaked out when i saw they say 750x9 on them.
i dunno
