Finally after the long crappy winter of plowing the butt ton of snow that we got I finally got to work on the camper. I got all the screens repainted and rescreened, the walls have been painted in the sand color from GCI, and I replaced all the quarter round around the top and have the...

I second the method recommended by recovry4x4. It is the easier and safest way to haul three. Just make sure you use the pegs. that keeps anything from sliding and twisting. Also I would recommend taking the tires off the trailer that is turned up side down to keep in height down if for...

One thing that I will say about the herculiner is make sure you at least double coat the drivers side floor. I did it on the inside of my 77 CJ7 when I redid it and after a year or so a spot where I kept my feet and rotated it to the brake or gas pedal wore a "hole" in the down to the bare...

I did a overflow tank on my m35a2 last summer. I bought a universal overflow tank from Carquest that holds a half gallon. If I recall correctly it was $17 for everything including bolts and hoses. I drilled two holes under the heater brackets and painted it with a little OD green. Not that it...

As many of you have seen I have been working on redoing a M146. It is just about to the point of the window part of the rebuild. I want to know if you guys know were I can get some parts for this things. I need a few screen frames, 2 blackout shields, and a couple windows in general. They...

Quick update. Got the ceiling painted, lights up, 24v light painted and up, and started paintin the sides. I am going to use the desert tan but the metal pieces on the door latches and the screens are goin to be painted 24087 semigloss. I feel like it is coming together very nicely. What do...

I would agree 100%. I did the inside of my '77 CJ7 when I redid it a few years ago. I did everything right as did you and it peeled off every time i turned around. on the other hand I got the inside of my 91 f150 done by Rhinolinings and it has been the greatest thing ever. I did get one...

Quick update. Got the ceiling done. All plywood is up and has two fresh coats of paint on it. Thanks to my lovely and pregnant wife. Got 3 out of the 4 lights up but that last one went a little S.N.A.F.U.!!! It should be taken care of this weekend, along with the electric panel, extension cord...

Got the insulation complete and got one sheet of plywood back up. Ran into a problem with rehanging the wood so I have to get some new screws and try it again next weekend. I finally got some pics of the electric and the "spotlight" setup that I made for the lights shining on the ladder when...

Just an update. I Coated the roof with a rubberized roof cement from home depot. It was Henry brand which let me tell you was some sticky, gooey stuff. I used the mesh backing roll that was from the same company on the main seams between panels, and just coated on the rivited joints. Should take...

I was thinking about either one of them or a M820 with hear and A/C already in it. but then the old man gave me a reality check about them havin problems with the expandable sections leaking, the A/C being three phase and stuff like that. so I got the 146 that still leaks and have to redo all...

Update. Got the wiring done to day. Well 98% done anyway. I have to figure out what end I want on the power cord and I need to hang my lights when I get the ceiling done. I am putting QTY. 4, 4' Dual tube fluorescent lights each with toggle chains so the can be operated independently of each...

I was thinkin expndable also but then i had a reality check. I want to stay dry while using it and with moveable sides that are 40 years are that is just asking for a leak one wy or another. I am goin to get my wiring, insulation, plywood, lights, and roof cement tomorrow hopefully. and can...

Here are a few quick shots of it. I have gotten the ceiling out of it already and started to attack the wiring but need some things first. Then to round up some insulation, plywood and paint. Next day I get to work on it I will get some more pics and update my progress.

I saw in the other topis with the redone 146 that the guy used SILVER SEAL to seal his roof up. Do you guys know where i can get that or know of another good prouct out there. i found a bunch of possibles but want something that has a proven track record. Thanks again.

Well got my ceiling torn out tonight and there was a lot of water and stuff up there. A little more than I wanted to see anyway. But oh well thats part of the fun. I am goin to put foam insulation up with finish plywood and a few floreusant (tube) lights and keeping the 24V lights down the...

I recently got a M146 enclosed trailer to pull behind the M818. I am goin to turn it into a "camper". Nothing crazy just a bed, some heat and a/c a little carpet and sanding the floor to do stained hardwood. With the exception of the floor everything will be able to come out to return to...

The ones from Rondo are the new old stock ones that are not LED. They have regular bulbs like 99% of the trucks out there. I have not seen LEDs for less than about $130. I am looking at getting some for my M146 trailer. so it would be nice to get some cheaper ones.

I have plans that weekend already but if this seems to take off count me in for next year.

Actually I believe that it is the copper washers at the bottom that I am goin to need. I think the rubber on top is to keep dirt and moisture out of the injector port. Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong. So anyone know where I can get some new copper washers??
