    Road Trip DFW to Chester IL DEC 26-JAN 9

    Today the box was set. The truck was started for the first time in a while. Big smoker at 7 degrees F till it caught and ran. Lots more little details.. The temp was too low to paint so we heated the rattle cans and the hard top so the paint would spray and stick. Someone knocked over a can of...

    I really love the pizza. Fresh and hot and the steam rising as you open the box! The sauce is the best -home made and hearty, the dough is made right there and is just right and not at all greasy like most pizzas, and there is no skimping on the very farm-fresh and toppings including the cheese...

    geez it is freakin cold here. 7 degrees this morning once the sun came up. Today the next major component will arrive and be set in place. Also, the rear deck of the lift gate will be replaced as it was rusty and bent due to a few small cars destroying themselves into it over the years it was...

    Today, finished up the generator install, and added a lift gate. (video) more wiring and some fuel line plumbing to do, and some work to repair and clean the gate, as well as add yet another major component. The drooling lamp is lit. ;-)

    The shelter and diesel genset on the M35 truck are planned to be removed and traded as part of the deal but the truck itself will be complete and won't be stripped. It is planned to leave it here and put it up for sale. At this point however if someone wanted the whole truck as equipped, sans...

    Road Trip DFW to Chester IL DEC 26-JAN 9

    I ended up easily removing the socket by trying brute force (what did I have to lose?).. It can also be put back together, even 20 years old, as I did exactly that once it was free of the frame hole. It has to be twisted to fit back in, and then it is easy to hold it in place while screwing the...

    Road Trip DFW to Chester IL DEC 26-JAN 9

    That is exactly right, plus a couple more items to increase the functionality and ease of use. We have spent a lot of time planning it out except a few items which could not be planned precisely because we did not have everything in one place. This is why I am really glad to have Brian's help...

    Road Trip DFW to Chester IL DEC 26-JAN 9

    Today marked some good progress. Removed the 16.00x20 tires and LAV rims from Brian's wrecker and put the 11.00x20's from the M818 on it for the time being. They are not that great, have some checking, but he wanted rid of the 52" tires. If we are lucky Gimyrobb will show up Monday. Tomorrow...

    Deuce tranny in a 5 ton

    I think someone sells a kit to convert the 5 ton transfer case to air-shift. That is, it can be put out of gear so the front is free.
