Sherpa winch. I believe black dog customs make the plate. Steve/RWH has the details.

EUC required revisions. As of today the revised EUC has been accepted and will be submitted to the next level. I’m excited.

My signature line contains a link on how to “restify”, (restore with modifications), PCB/EESS with schematics and explanations. Undertake at your own risk.

I’m considering Webasto. Expensive BUT tried and true. First, in with the new glow-plugs

I think at 7” oversized, that would be too much of a tight fit, even with a 4” lift.

Some close ups of the window tolerances.

Tang… You posted a link to a file on your personal computer that cannot be opened by anyone but you. Tang8u Was trying to send you the file from Neihoff regarding alternator and regulator checks. Before before you go through that checklist, I would pull up every one of the rubber grommets and...

Hated my windows. Now I like them more. I don’t have the proper stuff to melt and bend plexiglass so instead, Eric and I fabbed up 1/4” thick by three inch steel bars. We placed them parallel and welded at 14 degree angle. Then cut the plexiglass down to size and attached. Finally I then...

SW hit it on the head! Chains on an engine is as old as Model T, and adding a crank balancer makes it even sexier. I also say weld yer own and pay $50 re.: the tool displayed. 1/4 inch thick square tube outa do you right.

Wait, you didn’t just press the “Easy Button?” rofl If you have a cherry picker, odds are you have the skills where you can weld that easy.

Wood is a tried and true substrate for custom work. Covering with fiberglass and then leather or pleather is a widely accepted customization technique. I think this is excellent work… but I might consider knocking off all the corners. They will cause pain and they will tear through most coverings.

I had something similar, and it turned out that my smart box Genius Box was not entirely screwed in properly on both the hood and dashboard sides. At other times, I have seen people have problems because they are not in either park or neutral. I am certain that you have done it however I would...

Forgot to post this. On my way to work on my M1165 in November, amongst the tens of thousands of close friends that I traveled with, I met a legend. Great guy. Easily approachable. Totally supports his fans! Totally makes himself accessible for pics.

Wow. $1,300 rear drive shaft… I will attempt to straighten somewhat and/or bring to an axle and driveshaft repair shop.

You are reinventing the wheel. My signature line has a link to a workaround that was inspired by a similar workaround in the 5-ton forum.

Just read up on the EcoHubs. Website is solid BUT YT videos really make the units understandable. The hubs are elegant in their simplicity. Brilliant. I like the idea of removing the parasitic outer spider gears in favor of direct drive. Seems more practical than 3.07 front and rear gears based...

I will ship her 500 miles to LittleRock CA. There I will work with my partner in crime (and the original “jobless loser”), Eric HummerH1. This unit is destined to be a camper, relief vehicle, and I will purchase a several hundred gallon water container and Honda water pump to turn it into a...

I appreciate the offer but you won’t have time. I’d love to air up that dead tire. I’d like to know if she holds air. It’s will make getting her onto and off of a large trailer a bit less complicated. Not sure what I might want pictures of, too ignorant to ask at this point in time.

Austin (beltfed34) is absolutely terrific.

I can make the plug with 1/8 inch steel and my plasma cutter or maybe I should just go sloppy with a square 4’x4’ steel panel of cold roll, like I did on my M1165. I have square 1/8 Aluminum sheet for several of my flying nun roof M1151 slantbacks.
