In the middle of my rear seat ‘rebuild’ and got these straps off eBay. They’re fine for me, the ends didn’t pull off with a quick test.
Nixon481 is the seller.
The weather this year has been the worst l can remember. None stop rain this month so been cleaning up the workshop and moving my spare HJ47 cab onto its new home😉 80 chassis.
Also looking at some options for fuseable links as mine were missing...
Despite what I’ve done, I had no expertise going in. Back when in ‘92, I was just a kid who’d grown up on a farm around a carpenter. I’d never done any bodywork before to speak of.
The only reason I’m clarifying this is that I want other DIYers...
I got around to installing the oil pan last night. I was really intimidated by this considering my deformed pan, but I think it turned out great. I didn’t think it was as bad as some people have said, either. I grabbed some Snap-Ups and started...
Beetle pad is a perfect fit; I have one on mine too - put it on there years ago when I needed a pedal rubber and had that one left over from my Beetle days.
It is, and it's been in need of a rebuild for a few years now. Maybe one day I'll stop driving it long enough to work on that.
Until then it's still time to ski.
Holy crap, I’ve spent way too much time reading this thread! The Mule 2.0 is going to be outstanding to say the least!
I think Canaan Loop Rd. would be a great shakedown run once finished. You know, add a few Rhododendron pin stripes down that...
This brush guard was the last one that Dave at 4Plus built to be shipped. He only sells them from his shop these days. New never mounted. $500 firm. Located in Inlet Beach FL. Text or call 7065405058 if interested.
Also working on a Coleman 424 that was free saved from the trash.
I like picking up cheap or free coleman suitcase liquid stoves and repairing them to give to friend or donate to keep rebuildable stuff in circulation. This one is only a 2005...
I’ve never had an issue with parking my Tundra. I did drive a F250 for several years.
My wife likes driving the Tundra. I don’t like her driving it though.
Seam sealer and rust encapsulating paint done on the body. Ready for final cleaning and then primer this weekend.
Frame has been fully painted with POR15. Did most of it from the underside last year, and just had to clean and sand down the tops...
I've been noticing the t case has been whining lately so I decided to check the oil today.
Added about half a jug.
Checked the tranny oil level.
Drained about a half a jug.
So I decided to go ahead and put the bypass hose back in between...
Recently:
- Installed a rebuilt early 80s Warn 8274 from forum member
- Replaced battery cables with 2ga kit
- Removed and had blasted/refinished radiator support, fan cowl, grille, and associated parts
- Replaced (dry rotting) radiator hoses...
Got this for a project, now moving in a different direction. Vin Tag is still in on the wall, shows as a 64 with a 65 brass tag. Frame numbers match the firewall vin. Could be easily registered. Tub is in better shape than most, same with the...
IMHO it was moving fast before, now it’s a juggernaut. Sept we plotted and schemed. Mule went north Oct 4th. Picked up a “Box O’ Aq” Oct 16th. It’s almost surreal. 🙃
Tub removed, flipped, and placed on a flatbed trailer. Ill be transporting it to a heated shop for paint hopefully this weekend.
Probably 9 hrs into scraping the old asphalt undercoating off, wire wheeling, scrubbing with WD-40, and sanding the...
I used a local shop my 1st go round years ago. Headed back local for the latest endeavor only because I’m changing colors. Used/using Marine grade vinyl. Color options/choices are my screening criteria. No regrets.
Happy Sunday all.
Took Whitey for a nice long drive today and she performed perfectly.
Dialed up my Mural Monday for @89nolder
Made a little speed run at the end. Deputy Sherriff pulled toward me down the stretch before I could hit 80 but...
Do you remember the end of Raiders of the lost Ark where they just stored the Ark of the Covenant in a warehouse? Think of it along those lines just not as organised.
Actually I was looking for my Vader lights and these are were in the same box...
