    VIC to Cellphone Adapter and Military Radio Digital Modes Adapter

    There are adapters for lightning cable to 3.5 mm (iPhone to 3.5 mm). This is what I use. Beware, the cheap Chicom adapters are hit and miss. Buy quality. They make a Bluetooth with 3.5 mm plug. Amazon has one for $15.99, which is $1 less than buying a lightning cable adapter ... go figure...

    Overland 5-ton camper with a 20' container (now 40' !)

    I don’t quite understand your approach to this project.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Moved my three 1101’s to the ranch. Two were at a friends farm, one in a storage lot. Tired of paying to store it, and no need for my toys to be scattered around. I was over the maximum length law in TX by a few feet (if I remember correctly). Did not like pulling this into gas stations. Don’t...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I bet it was! I saw how deep you were cutting! Good work. I welded an identical setup to a similar frame (water buffalo, same frame maybe?) to make a dump trailer. Nice solid setup.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Wow. That’s a lot of cutting for a cutoff tool!

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Installed the second (right hand side) electric brakes to the 101A2. Then pulled the bed for painting the frame, and to figure out how to adapt new parking brake cables to Dexter brakes. It’s not a straight switch. Fabrication will be done.

    M101A1 hand brake cable

    I found a handful of NOS cables on fleabay and only bought two. I figured I would regret it since I had 4 trailers at the time. Now, I have to replace two cables on one trailer and have a broken one on the other trailer. Dang.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    That’s strange. Wonder if it was a bad batch? Of course CARC Is like glue for paint. Satin sticks to it well. Even to a finish like the 1101. Satin isn’t quite as forgiving as flat if you aren’t careful when spraying it. I noticed some flat spots that didn’t get enough paint. Maybe it didn’t...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I painted my 923 satin. Super sharp. Also painted an 1101 in satin. Even sharper.

    M925a2 Power Surge

    Probably the best picture I have seen of you yet. Your moobs have really grown since I saw you last. Lay off the Fritos dude. And when did you start working at the grocery store?

    Easter is tough. Plus COVID dude ... COVID.

    M101A2 leaf spring capacity questions

    That will probably work. There is a good thread on converting to electric brakes. I may have even posted one ... I forget.

    M101A2 leaf spring capacity questions

    A Suzuki Samurai? Eh ... I think you got the wrong trailer. Best sell it to me for what you paid for it. Seriously, that’s a lot of weight. I have hauled a yard of decomposed gravel, at 3500+/- and that really squats the springs. Small bumps will bottom it out. Just today I hauled 90 gal of...

    5 Ton Rims and Tires

    Whole lot easier to put beadlocks in now, just in case. Dont have to, but can’t think of many reasons not to, and can think of quite a few reasons to install them.

    Overland 5-ton camper with a 20' container (now 40' !)

    That is true. They get flimsy when you cut them. You could use a 40’ and cut out the middle and weld the end back on The truck in that video is a 20’ container. I have a 40’ and can’t imagine wheels on that thing! I would look hard at a reefer box. Lightweight and insulated. You would be far...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Wouldn’t paint a classic car with it ... but you could. And it would stick. Paint has come a long way. With the latex enamels today, I don’t see much need in ever using an oil based paint again. The Sherwin Williams store recommended a paint for ocean shipping containers. It’s a latex enamel...

    M923A2 loosing fuel prime overnight

    I had my diesel shop replace the one rubber fuel line with a braded line on three of my trucks. They never loose prime now. I'm sure there are other areas that could cause it, but this solved the problem. About to take the 931 in for the same.

    Transmission Oil - 80w/90 vs SAE 40/50

    I have definite thoughts. Just my own observations, maybe its just my truck. I changed my fluids before driving 1600 miles home after buying one in Idaho. I suspect it had tranny fluid, I changed to 15w 40. I thought something was wrong. Took it back to the guy who did all the work to get it...

    Question from a new guy

    Find a tax office that will let you title is as 4000 lbs. A strange thing ... all my trailers happen to be that way! I know, it may be hard, but the farther you get into the country, the easier it is to find an office that will do that. Your milage may vary. Good luck. We are all counting...
