Office chairs come in a variety of quality features. These are heavy duty actual commercial grade chairs...that could house the 98 lb secretary or the 310 lb secretary as a major office complex near you. I've noted they are made with metal frames and supports as well as thick plastic - no...
You are worried about something that is not a concern. We once handled a claim of a guy that had a paint bucket as a front seat. Paid it. Been there done that. So, your lawn chair is okay. And the bucket contributed to the accident.
When you get that lawn chair in post some pics when...
That’s pretty good creative writing. Just FYI, I am a 30 year insurance professional that holds a CPCU, Legal Claim Specialist, among many other certifications and business license. I’ve handled bodily injury, med pay and serious injury and death claims for decades. What you stated above is...
Bolted through the stock holes in the seat to rolling floor mount to the passenger battery cover. On the driver side I used the threaded bolts already on the seats as well to put flat plate large washers through the stock commando seat springs and they are locked in place.
They are bolted to the exact same mounts and brackets as the stock commando seats. So, we can agree they are at least just as much unsafe as what was there before in terms of the pads.
Sounds silly guys but it works so well
I got my hands on some old office chairs. Lightweight and simple.
No less comfortable than the old ones and easy to install.
I’ll get them recovered maybe over the winter. Black or green. Not sure yet.
That's a great deal! I found a new one from a vendor for $290...VERY tempting...but was able to heat and stretch and pull this back...and I also rubbed it down with some wool wax that made it look new and will repel water for a while that way too.
Here is where I am so far. I painted BOTH sides of the plywood - the top is with a deck paint that is super weather resistant. I used RV style butyl tape along the windshield header and on the B pillar roof bar. I only put TWO screws in it through the rear B pillar and will see what needs to...
I'm sick of the canvas roof being so saggy and floppy and leaky. I've seen the plywood mod and talked to my brother-in-law in the army and he told me how they wedge that in to help. They don't do anything fancy - just shove two pieces in - one on each side and call it good. I've taken some...
Just got it all buttoned up. Took longer to take apart because I forgot you don't unbolt the fan from the clutch until AFTER it is all slipped out of the truck. Went in smooth. All hooked up ad fluids topped off. Took it for a spin. Right at 200 on my current temp gauge it kicks in and...
I just came across a rebuilt fan clutch for $200 and ordered it. It comes from a reputable vendor. Just going to put it back stock and deal with it. Could be fixed under $20 with o rings. But going to take almost as much time and will still have the old clutch parts that can fail at any...
Just ran into town and have unhooked then solenoid so fan runs 100% and no fluid to the clutch. Ugh. The odor of the oil blowing back was bad for a bit. I’ve got to fix this but just no time right now.
By the way, this is a good part number. Looks to be about $9 - but there is a second one in there I'm not finding. This one is no problem at all. The other one is smaller by far.
I also found a full rebuild for the unit on Ebay for $200. But...at least for now I only need the o-rings. Like you said - $2 for o-rings or $200 for the whole kit and the better half of an afternoon to install it - I'll go for the $2!
You are not wrong. There is a reason for the way that it is. However, I do also have to wonder if there was a high quality electric in place that kicks on around 180 instead of over 200...if that early run on it would be enough to keep the area cool even as the temps around rise.
Also...
I've looked at various 24 volt fan kits. It doesn't seem any of them move the CFM that would be needed. Most appear best to be used as fan assist as a pusher on top of the cooling stack. I'd prefer to put one large one in the current opening of the mechanical fan. It would be quieter and...
I'm not feeling confident that I can match an O-ring from that TM info. I can of course take them out and go to Napa and see if they have anything to match up. There are only two on the front cup as I remember - one pretty small and one bigger one. I can also unplug the relay and just lock it...
