Grats on the truck. Welcome to the club.

The Cessna 172 is the single most produced aircraft - IL-2 is second though.

Nice work guys

I totally thought this was going to be a dating thread.

Also, people tend to post problems, not the happy day they spent running around where nothing went wrong.

haha no. The bin was empty when they crawled in there. I put in a box and a chock hoping they would climb out. Funny enough though this one time I opened a box I got - 3day ups - and in there is an entire other ups envelope. I look up the tracking number and it has been missing for 3 weeks. I...

Well on the other hand now we know the bins double as traps. Could just leave some cheese and peanut butter in there. One was smart enough to get out on his own but the other two I ended up having to corral in a box. I let them go out in the yard, maybe they'll tell the others that trucks are...

Just went out and measured my M1078A0. outer to outer, 34" width of runner, 5.5" width of frame, 2.5"

I readily tear chunks out of my goodyear knobs offroading, the rocks I guess, and I've seen this happen on unimogs as well. Not sure if it's because the compound is relatively soft but the age of the tires probably doesn't help either.

Sigh. I need to get a shop cat.

I've never driven a cab-over before except a vw bus a couple of times and I had no real trouble with the turning. It's interesting offroading it on narrow roads. I kind of had to put myself cantilevered over the drop-off once on a narrow switchback. It's kind of like driving while sitting on the...

After having put my LMTV sideways (while towing) already I'll opine the tires are the least of your problems. The air brakes, weight distribution, and who knows?? if my rear brake propro cargo valve is working properly are the things to look at. Here's my big piece of advice, a whatever runs...

One can, believe it or not, charge a battery backwards. It is very, very bad for it. If they are reading backwards, find a way to discharge them flat and then run them the right way up.

Fine business

So I've got a class 3 leak on my hydro manifold (the panel with the valves for cab tilt/etc) and a pile of parker o-rings. I need to get access to the cassettes to replace the o-rings on the leaky valve, but, they appear to be on the left-side of the manifold (facing the rear of the truck), so...

Wow! Take it easy on the brakes... I'm always nervous about mine, especially when I tested it and realized the cab unlatched light in the dash does not actually work...

I'll be there. Not sure what days... but some of them.

I have the 1000# one on the way...

Just glacing at your pics my hunch is the cargo cover can be repaired. On mine the sun ate out the thread before the vinyl and it is starting to rip along the seams just like yours. Mine is just a lot more together, but none of your edges seem tattered in what I saw. I've got a Juki and I plan...
