    Door hinge

    I used an impact driver (the kind you hit with a hammer to make it turn) with a Phillips bit that was properly sized for the bolt head slots. After a couple of lighter smacks with the hammer to shock load the bolts a little, I smacked them harder to break them loose. Every one of them came out...

    Tow bar mounting options

    I did the same thing to tow mine with our motorhome. I had to raise it 4" or so . I went with a Blue Ox 6" drop / 4" rise hitch. On mine I use a Redi-Brute tow bar that plugs into the receiver for the surge brake built into the tow bar to work. The Redi-Brute has to be close to flat or it...

    Tailgate repair patch panel?

    Robert, Sorry, but I didn't take any pics. I installed the pipe clamps about 2" from each end then evenly spaced across the rest of it. I placed the 1"x2" strips about 1/2" down from the top, under the pipe clamps, then installed the "C" clamps. The "C" clamps I snugged down to hold them in...

    Rust(proofing) a new build?

    I used 3M cavity wax in the inner cavities everywhere on mine after I redid it. The spray cans are 18 oz. cans, which are a little larger than normal spray cans. I also bought the wand kit that fit the nozzle on the cans. The wands are 3/16 or 1/4" OD. One is 24" long with a 360* tip and is the...

    Concealed rear seat

    I've been thinking about building something along the same lines as that for mine. Now I'll probably have to add that to the to do list. Mark.

    Shipping DElays

    Yep. Ordered a Detroit TruTrac from Summit for my truck (Dana 60) around the end of July knowing it was out of stock until Sept 12th. Got a message that Eaton wouldn't be able to supply it till mid November now. They did want to know if I wanted to cancel the order or wait to get it in. Since...

    Then and Now

    The photo on the left is how I remember it when I was working on the Navajo Generating Station in 81-82. All I can say about the recent photo is WOW! That was some great water skiing or fishing on the lake after work back then. I too have pictures from back then somewhere around here. Thanks for...

    Lets do it again....what the hell is this?

    The second device is a spring bar from a weight distributing hitch that looks like it's been made into a pry bar. The skinny end would have 2 holes that a U bolt and a piece of chain bolts into for the tension on the hitch. Both tools are something that has been re-purposed to meet another need...
