Well got a couple of things done yesterday on the M925a2.
Fixed my PR-2 Valve (Pressure Protection Valve) which had a broken O-ring in it.
Also got my stock air horns working (wire broken inside the steering column aka not getting ground when pressing button).
I also installed a set of...
Stopped over at my storage lot and played with a new toy. (It's a DJI Phantom 4 Drone)

Tomorrow have a few small things to get done on the M925 so it will be ready for the following weekend's big car/truck show called the Sounds Of Freedom where I'm letting Gunzy...
Well since today is my day off I finished hitting the spots that needed to do from the day earlier. Then I went and put my LED rear stop/turn lights in. Still need to swap out the fronts but I need to look up what folks are doing to get the front "park" lights to also be on when in Service...
Well supposed to have a few nice days in a row so after work I rushed home and got the first coat of Behr Marquee Exterior in 383 Green applied.
Hopefully tomorrow after work I will get the second coat on and touch up some of the spots that are tricky to get into. All in all this is so much...
Well finally started to warm up and no rain for a few days so I figured I might as well get a couple of the mods I wanted to do out of the way while I had some free time this past weekend. First off I pulled the cargo cover off and stored the bows & uprights in prep for the truck to be used as...
I know we have some and worse case the next time I am down at the ranch I will snap a pic of it as it is kept in one of the sheds. We haven't used it in probably close to 20 years but my dad loved it so he never sold it but eventually sold off the team to one of our neighbors and neither my...
BTW I need to say Thank you! For bringing up some fond memories of my Dad for me today. When I was young I would love it when he would break out the one horse buggy and ride into town in it or even better was him taking my friends and our dates to one of our school dances in the stage coach...
Good eye Ahab. Yes, I grew up on a ranch so we have horses & cattle. I personally have only done two but my dad could do a full 6 horse team which is a handful! The one you spotted is getting ready to be restored by my friends who own the place where I get to keep my trucks & trailers
I like it. I ended up also putting one on my M923a2 so both have one. I have driven thru a couple of moderate rain storms and when I got back I pulled the filter cap and it was basically dry inside so very little water actually made it down the tube. It would really need to be a long drive...
Wow....Long time without any posts as I have just been enjoying and using the trucks but this past week I have started working on fixing a couple of small things to make getting thru the upcoming state safety inspections that are due for license plate renewals the end of this month (923) and the...
Well got home from Interop in Vegas and dove in and busted out a couple of tasks on the 925! Whew! I'm beat...
Installed an EGT probe and mounted the LED readout panel to the shift tower (still need to make an angled dash mount for it Like the one Those Military Guys offer for a cleaner look...
Wow I haven't updated these for a little bit but have gotten some minor stuff done on the Beast and Beast II. Let me see I went thru and did 4 tire swaps between the two trucks so now the 923 has all Michelin XZL tires and the 925 has all Goodyear AT2A tires including the spares. I do have a...
Not to worried about that as I have a sock that can go over it if worried about weather. and then it's always easy to point it backwards if over the top weather driving weather...
Well got a few thing accomplished today. Got the Beast through it's annual state safety inspection with flying colors and the tech doing it went over it with a fine tooth comb. But I knew it would so just finished paying my registration fees and it's ready for the road for another year.
On...
Well did some minor work on The Beast II in that I replaced the turn signal control, Replaced the supply fuel line from the tank outlet all the way to the primer/lift pump (bypassing the under the fender filter for now as I will be replacing it with a dual spin on setup when parts arrive)...
