I drove the Ram and my wife drove the M923 to get all diesel tanks topped off ahead of this storm. Wasn't going to fill up the M923 but realized it has a drain plug in case I need more diesel for the MEP 803. We will be without power a while this time.
Finally got the interior back together with newly stitched seats, finished pyro Install, 24 to 12vdc converter, two small fuse blocks, one in battery compartment and one under dash, and the pump is turned way up and now time to start working it back down to keep from blowing a gasket.
Roughed in the pyrometer and pulled out all of the seat cushions to get re-covered. Bought some cordura nylon in OD off Amazon. 3 yards for $45. And it is the real stuff. I was able to do the bench seat back and letting local stitch guy do the other three.
Got my side tanks re-installed. I used Mr. Gasket 1/8" cork gasket. One roll is juuuust enough to do both sides with no seams at all. Also installed a new thermostat and a shutterstat.
Yea, the thick stuff that fills small cracks. I usually end up sanding most of it off before spraying. Good autobody guy I am NOT! But I reckon it looks good enough from a distance
I got the tan troop seats painted today and started working on some of the rough areas of the bed. There were 4 coats on the tank. A red, tan, and two different coats of green.
I did not see this started yet so here it is.
I rebuilt the two side rails and headache rack, and installed the new to me troop seats.
I also started prepping the underside of my hood trying to preserve it. Got rust popping through in a couple of spots.
