I learned this week that building a set of chester drawers is easy. Installing the slides is a ^&%$$$# pain in the %#*&. Two all meshed pretty well with only minor adjustments. But one gave me fits and the other will require a sledge hammer to close (doubtful it will ever open without a set...

Looks like a blast. I'm going to try an make it next year (assuming we can still get diesel).

Correct, it slides out. I looked at a lot of various installs that people had done. Ambo conversions, adventure trucks, etc. The M1079 box is only 12.5" and I didn't really want to dedicate 48" x 48" just so I'd have plenty of elbow room to wipe my arse. Doing it this way it stows in the...

I've never been on that lot, but Springtown is not an active base. But it could be a federal facility of some sort, I'm not sure. If no one here knows, I would call GP customer support. They will give you the contact info (I would take any info direct from GP with a grain of salt as they are...

Well, that was kinda my point. I just don't see operating the truck w/o BOTH the lights and alarm if you have them. But as you say, situations vary so ymmv... My neighbor hates my alarm. And I keep telling him that once he gets rid of his kids and dogs (and all the others in the neighborhood...

Saw a DAF YA-328 for sale the other day. Fun stuff but it's in the UK.

Get an insurance binder until you get it home/running. Shop around if you want full coverage. Hagarty and a few others can write FMV (former military vehicle) policies if you have limited use plans (think parades, events, etc) and they will do full coverage for FMVs. Another option is to...

If I can replace something with a rivnut, I do so. Might try Summet Racing: https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/interior-trim-panel-fasteners

But why do you need a light to backup? IMO, turning off either one defeats the purpose. I don't get why would you ever want to be operating a vehicle of this scale with the lights or alarm off? One comes on, all my safety shit comes on. Unless you are on active duty or fighting in...

Yeah, one of their car designs was pre-WWII as well. They sold them well into the 80's. You may remember them from the cirrus. Heh Our LMTV cabs are a 60's design from Steyr, so I really don't have any right to laugh.

I've installed them on my trucks. With the surplus venders being so very proud of their stuff I just get the commercial/industrial ones off Amazon (same or less price, no "plus bend over - $40 shipping" for something that arrives with $5 postal sticker on it). Preco's can be found on eBay...

Facings all done. Tomorrow my latches should arrive and I'll make the actual drawers.

Had to. Dog said so...

In Texas, the title department handed me back the GP EUC paperwork and said "get a title, GP isn't a licensed dealer and cannot do title assignments". Legally, they are correct (or at least were correct as of a year ago). And GP messed up my ECU on the vehicle (it technically belongs to GP...

Nice rig. I had an 18' 1973 Winnie Brave. Loved to camp with that thing (surf contests, skiing in CO, etc). Only thing that sucked was dealing with dump stations. I even put in access to the sewer next to the driveway at the house, but I still hated dealing with shit. The Laveo is just so...

Not yet. The one that's in there now is just a Camco camping toilet.

Ah, but not needed in a dry flush !

Originally I was going to have the shower/toilet all in one closet.. But the toilet I will be installing is electric and doesn't like getting wet. i pondered a few ways to incorporate the slide into the shower wall, but since I had plenty of space on the other wall below the hanging closet, I...

LOL The toilet will slide out for use, in for stowage. It will have it's own little cover/door eventually. It's just sitting in there for now. I have to tinker with some slides and/or rollers and see what works best.
