why does my new avatar seem to be very small, and everyione else's is full size? I tried 80x80, 160x160, and full size. All same result. When I switched from the customary mean kitty to the truck, it shrunk.

Geez that is a lot of load! I hope you get it all and can show us some pics of the new rail once installed! - with a loco on it of course.

off the shelf you would have to order something like a CXT with the extra axle. While you were at it, you could then delete all the fu-fru junk and leave only the a/c and heat. That would be the basic IH "rental moving truck" cab package. Although I would keep the power windows and door lock on...

the wash.. it will take a while to do that load, heh.. ;-)

Finally made it back to the Bunker of DOOM. Woo-Hoo! adventure=accomplish! Unfortunately when I ast down in front of the computer and almost finished entering this post at about 7 PM, I fell right asleep - Sorry about that, was a sort of long day. Probably a good time to make some notes in no...

Them burgers and brats were kool! There is no hitch. The idea is that the box doors are big enough to load an ATV or whatever, so no trailer is needed. The video is of the inverter welder making interesting sounds like only a malfunctioning high power inverter can. Maybe Brian can better...

Today the operating rod and handle for the lift gate was done and also a chain was installed to allow the get to be locked. Mud flaps were put on and braces for them were started. The heater was installed and seems to work well. A 12V lighter socket was installed for the GPS. As the day drew to...

and..

more pictures..

Today was quite a red letter day, seeing as the lift gate is now fully installed. The missing link was the 'deck' that goes between the box and the gate. Brian and Gimpy made this of 1/4" steel plate and massive C channel braces. It seems indestructible. the entire thing is closely toleranced...

They are 16.00 x 20's - Goodyears. Hope they are fun! Today we worked on the generator mounting and did the final work to secure the box as shown. Time is running short, and we will complete as much essential work as possible. Some of the pics there are of the front brackets for the M109 box...

There will be a mud flap in place to protect the grille. The machine is only for use when parked. There will also be a protective panel there.

till 0730.. MOOOOOHAHAHAHahahahahahaaaaa... Jacob and I started early, but it was not long before Gimpy and Brian showed up as well as Al. Today the items done were: Fitting the box mounting bolts and springs, some welding and making of brackets for the box, installing the 12/24volt battery...

Great news!! Thanks!

Geez.. I just called Brian and looks like the issue was a vibration and loose wheel, and is broken lug nuts at this point. I figured he would call me to help, but he said he thought I had already turned in. Brian is almost there and will call us if he needs anything else on the scene. So I'll...

BTW Where are you Gimpyrobb ? You OK?

Today while Brian was at work, Jacob and I gutted the nasty old hillbilly style cabinets in the box (hard to believe the military did that work!), connected the lift gate power lead, installed the generator set ground and cranking cables, installed the hard top with new bolts and a bead of...

I support your effort! It is unlikely I can join this summer one but it is a super goal.

OK well Jacob had to sleep late so we are going now to Brian's. He is at work days this week and we have many preperatory things to do before he comes home, so that he can do the next steps such as bolting the box on. All work on the beast now is going to be outside.

what about ether on these? It did start after some cranking maybe 2 minutes total divided into 4-5 sessions) (amazing batteries..) I need to explore NHC-250 threads.. I can check the glow plug for continuity and voltage. I did not note a "whoosh" as mentioned in another thread. I did not find a...
