I got to see the rig in person on Saturday. Pictures don't do it justice. Like Rayzer's Taj, you have to experience it to understand how nice it is. Scott has utilized every cubic inch of the M109 box. Everything is laid out and organized. His fabrication skills are far superior to mine. I could...
I just had a semi-lucid thought, Scott. To add strength, you could install an eye in the top left corner of the door and another eye in the bottom right. Pick up a piece of piano wire and a turnbuckle. String the piano wire through the eyelets and to the turnbuckle. Use the turnbuckle to adjust...
Come on down to Central Florida, Jericho! You'll quickly learn that sweating is done year round. Outside air temp was HOT earlier this week. 83 with 80% humidity on January 2nd and 3rd. A cold front finally pushed through, dropping the temperature into the 70's during the day and 50's at night...
I agree with Scott. Snow is a four letter word... :naner: The blizzards of '77, '85, and '93 in large part convinced me to escape the white wrath. Orlando meteorologists have NEVER uttered the phrase 'lake effect snow', and they never will. :mrgreen:

While we're on the subject of 'lessons learned in regards to eye protection', I have one more anecdote. NEVER NEVER NEVER hit an Allen wrench with a hammer without wearing safety glasses and holding onto the...

Those metal shavings can easily penetrate skin without you even realizing it. Digging out metal is...
I'm glad I can help in some small way, Ahab. I get far more out of this site than I give. It's nice to know that my meager contributions are appreciated! :-)
The cause of the issues are in this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148131-Website-slow-loading
Try posting your pictures again, Scott.
I have a few questions for you, Scott. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you planned to build a sleeping area above the cab. Are those plans in the distant future? Will you relocate the solar panels to the roof of the sleeping area if you build it?
Scott,
I have a little different view of the problems you're facing with the brakes. I'm SO thankful that you are working on it in your back yard under a tree. You have access to plenty of tools, food, water, and your air conditioned house. You can take a break when you get overheated. You...
