    Winch and Bumper Project

    I put 4 group 31 batteries on the weight trays next to the winch to provide dedicated battery power to the winch. I have the front batteries isolated from the ones in the cab. I already used the front batteries to jump start the truck when my main batteries were weak. (glad I installed a NATO...

    Winch

    Nice job. Wonder what the cost would be. What winch did you use?

    Shouldn't the control lever and wire housing be on top? (bottom is mounted to bumper plate)

    Winch and Bumper Project

    That was not a complex project. Can't believe they messed up such an easy order. That piece could have been done at home with 2 pieces of angle and a flat sheet with the rectangle and holes cut and drilled. You should ask for a partial refund for the mess up. Installing the plate on the...

    Funny you should say that! Just finished priming and painting the plywood yesterday. I used Glidden Exterior Primer and Behr Exterior Flat Paint. Here are the pictures:

    Goldneagle's M116A1 Generator Trailer restore and modification thread

    I think the 2 main factors at work in your example is: 1) too light of a trailer 2)Never secured the Bobcat to the trailer. Even if the load was moved further forward the weight of the cargo would probably still have blown the tires. Not securing the equipment could have caused the Bobcat to...

    goldneagle's 1985 M1008 recovery and restoration thread...

    I have been having issues fastening my seatbelt in my truck since i updated the seats and center console. The "female end" of the seat belt is not stiff like in today's cars. It requires me to hold it with one hand while twisting by fat body in order to insert the "male end" into the receiver...

    Goldneagle's M116A1 Generator Trailer restore and modification thread

    Another update on my trailer project. I fabricated and installed the front wall. I picked up a sheet of 3/4" pressure treated plywood and some 1/4" pressure treated wood strips. I had the plywood was cut to the proper dimensions (64" by 26" tall). In order to make a snugger fit of the wall...

    Actually the rear stabilizer leg is there. Had to look way under to see it. Must be the angle that keeps it from showing up in my pictures. I agree with you about using it so the trailer doesn't tilt back accidentally.

    Holes drilled out of tires. Can use them as bumpers, vibration dampeners for equipment, and other applications. The tires get drilled so they can be used as bumpers on tugboats. String the heavy rope through the holes in the sidewalls . I was sorting out the different sizes. Need any?

    Homemade canvas/tarp top for M1102

    Why not just use EMT electrical conduit or Chain link fence pipes? Also can re-utilize a tubular car port or shelter frame.

    Here are some closeup pictures of the jack I used. It is a really smart design.

    Wow that is a nice setup you got there! I think an A3 upgrade is more work than I want to do at this time. Might be cheaper to replace the axle with an electric brake CIVI axle. I already have electric brake controller on my CUCV. My main purpose for the trailer is for moving the MEP002...

    Goldneagle's M116A1 Generator Trailer restore and modification thread

    Thanks for the compliment! Would be nice to have a spare tire for the trailer. Right now I have one SuperLug tire and one NDT type tire that has serious cracking in it. Looking for another 9.00-16 SuperLug tire and another complete spare. I do not have the bulkhead or cargo setup for the...

    It will be towed with my M1008 or heavier vehicle if it ever goes on the road. Thank you for the info.

    Goldneagle's M116A1 Generator Trailer restore and modification thread

    I have a M116A1 trailer I just finished restoring. I am getting a MEP002 5KW diesel generator that I plan to install on it. I am also getting a 55 gallon fuel tank from a M931 tractor. I want to set up the trailer so it will tow properly. How much tongue weight should I have when done...
