Talk to Juanprado, he has some G177 mounted on 5 ton rims stored at my place. I know he wants to sell them. He can deliver to the rally.
I got switches for 5 ton. (start switches, battery power switches, on-off switches and fan switches. I also have all the gauges in the instrument panel...
I got the metal lid cut, primed and painted. I attached a piece of 3/4" plywood (sized to fit in the opening of the console) to the metal lid piece with 4 flat-head wood screws. The 4 holes in the metal lid were counter-sunk to allow the screws to fit flush. Tomorrow I am receiving the bamboo...
I have some used MT and MT/R versions of these tires used in various conditions. PM if interested. I can take pictures and quote costs. juanprado can deliver depending on quantities.
I ordered a bamboo drawer organizer to use as the top of the center console. I decided to go with a drop in lid. I will use a piece of 3/4" plywood the size of the opening to the console. I will attach the plywood to a piece of sheetmetal that is 1-1/2" longer and wider than the opening. I...
Today I managed to install the radio/CD player, speakers, power outlets and fuse panel. I also drilled a 1-1/8" hole under the console and installed a 3/4" Romex connector. I will feed the external power wires through this opening. I also wired all the components and the fuse panel.
When...
Thank you for the nice compliment it means a lot to me coming from a master fabricator. And thank you for visiting my humble thread. It was overweight as soon as I got into the truck rofl
Just the facts behind the build:
The sheetmetal of the center console is about the same gauge as the...
Had a computer crash this weekend -so today was the first day I could work on the center console.
I took the console to my friend's shop in order to fill in the welded seams before painting. He had some compound that is finer than Bondo and volunteered to apply it on my project. He...
Today I cut all the openings into the console I build yesterday. That included the opening for the radio/CD player, (2) 6-1/4" diameter holes for the speakers, (3) 1-1/8" holes for the 12 volt power outlets, (2) 2-3/8" holes for the cup holders, 12" x 10" opening for the storage compartment...
Well today I finally got a chance to work on the center console. I took out the saw horses and sheetmetal and started to measure and draw cutting lines. Once I had some lines drawn I brought out the new plasma cutter and started to cut the sheemetal (using a straight edge as a guide). The...
Last Thursday I sat down and resigned a center console for the truck. I had taken the dimensions earlier in the day. I plan to make the center console fit around the bench frame that supports the bucket seats. Got a nice drawing done. The center console will include a radio/CD/mp3/USB and SD...
Update 1of 2
About a week ago I decided it was time to remove the worn bench seat and install the bucket seats I had purchased for the M1008.
I started by removing the items stored under the seat. I then unbolted the 4 bolts holding the bench seat in place. Once I removed the bench seat I...
I have one for the M939 series with tensioner/spooler for $1200 if someone can give it a ride to the rally. (no extensions or other parts included) Cable is installed.
I have some 81mm tall and 120mm tall ammo cans for sale. $15 each. Will need to have someone like juanprado or another member bring them to the rally. trailboss may be able to bring some of the 120mm cans since he is storing some for me.
I also have M939 dash panels (instrument panels) for...
