    KE5AFU's M36A2 Camper/RV Build

    Removed the container in preparation for going to get the tree next weekend. Spent some time clearing cedar trees from a friends property over the weekend. Video in link https://www.dropbox.com/s/52e0ptk386uiszr/Tree%20Clearing.mp4?dl=0

    KE5AFU's M36A2 Camper/RV Build

    Got the front shocks upgraded today, the old ones were shot. I went with the Monroe 34787, but had some issues with the bushings being too thick to start the nut. I put them in a lathe and shaved them down until they fit. (About .100 removed) It was a tad harrowing to have that much weight...

    Do you have a build log going? I'd love to see what you're doing.

    Picked up 550 gallons of brand new sunflower oil today that was being given away for free. I've read on here that the exhaust smells much different when burning it, will be interesting to see how she runs. The stuff looks perfect, but I'm going to run it through a filter and water separator just...

    Well I went out this weekend to a friends land to find a tree. The plan is to create a live edge counter with cabinets that follow the contours of the live edge counter. The requirements are: must be a hardwood, must be at least 24" in diameter, can't be rotten or hollowed out, and it must...

    R.O. Unit came from auction site, was billed as not working so no one bid on it. Turns out the GFI had been tripped... I saw some decent looking units with UV on a popular auction side about $200. Looked like under the counter coupled with charcoal and UV.

    I finally had a weekend where I wasn't on the road and was able to get the new wheels and tires installed. Surprisingly the seals and bearings were in good shape, so nothing was replaced yet. I'll wait until I do the lockers to replace them.

    I was able to get some more work done today, got the container scrubbed and looking better, and scored a good deal on a reverse osmosis unit. 750 gallons per day capacity. Mrap wheels and XZL 395 tires arrive this week as well. I'm on the road for the next three weeks, so work will be paused...

    KE5AFU's M36A2 Camper/RV Build

    Well I got the container loaded onto the bed today, not doing that again by myself... Tomorrow I should be able to get the Boost and Pyro gauges mounted, 24/12v installed, finish cleaning out the container and hopefully have it all powered except for A/C.

    I built a klr 650 into a world travel bike last year, after realizing I couldn't take the kitchen sink with me, a mobile base camp became more desired. The goal is to use the remaining 3.75 feet of deck to hold the bike / have an elevated platform for recreation. Pic is last year's trial run...

    KE5AFU's M36A2 Camper/RV Build

    I bought my first deuce a couple weeks ago up in Nebraska, drove it back to OKC with a ford in the back without issues. It has the LDS-465 engine and a surprising amount of power. Plans are to turn it into an off-road capable RV with using an AAC container I purchased awhile back. I steamed...
