Is it a bad thing when bearings fall out on the ground? :unsure: It was wise to replace it when you did. Expensive perhaps, but it could have caused other major and more expensive damage. I think you dodged a bullet! Glad to hear all is good now.

SS rule number one. Simp is ALWAYS right. Never doubt that! o_O

Welcome back from Michigan. It Sounds like you have a leg up with your knowledge. You got some real good advice on the TM’s. I have a hard time navigating them but I usually find what I need. When I don’t the folks here are very patient with helping me.

It’s great to see a steel soldier doing what it was built for! Well done.

I did something similar. I carry an air hose on my truck for airing up tires etc. I took two male quick disconnect fittings and screwed them together. This allows me to connect the glad hand on the truck to my shop air. Now I can air up the truck before I start it. This lets me get it out of the...

For some years I’ve been cutting a bar of Irish Spring soap and leaving the pieces under my seats. I’ve been told that mice don’t like the smell of it and it helps to keep them out of the cab. I have mice on my property but I don’t see any evidence of them in my vehicles. I did have a mouse...

Thanks Drew, I don't know why I couldn't find it before... Just getting a bit thick I suppose! :unsure:

I need to change my email address on the site. Can someone help me with this?

It’s Gilespie paint I believe.

The trip IS the destination!

You should consider joining the MVPA. They have a publication called History in Motion. In there they list all of the local affiliate groups. It brings a lot to your hobby when you are involved with other local folks.

No, I would never do that… ;)

I have done what you are doing. In 2019 I was on the MVPA convoy from York PA to San Francisco. I had to jump out in Delta Ut. and get home fast. I drove back to Michigan in 2 1/2 days. It was no fun pushing that hard but I made it. My only advise is get rest when you stop. If you feel tired get...

Sometimes I push up on the wheel well just a foot or so and hold it there with a stick. This makes pulling the hood open from the front a lot easier. Most of the time I just grab the handle, put my knees against the bumper and use all my 160 pounds to pull it open. once it starts to move, it...

The bumper sticker on the front of my M934 says “ So you drive a 4 x 4. That’s cute.” It gets a lot of laughs…

Could air bags be considered? It would require moving the shocks but with air bags you would adjustment to match the load… Probably a bad idea?

How are you planning to use it? Are there other folks in your area to communicate with? Knowing how you want to use it may help guide you to the right radio. I have been thinking about getting into ham radio. Probably after retirement.

Welcome to the hobby! You will find this site a valuable resource of information and parts. Please post more pictures, we like that around here. Since this is your first MV, how long is your driveway? You have to consider your next two or three vehicles in the near future… Opps, I didn’t mean to...
