I looked at plywood or various structurally insulated panels and am leaning away from them due to longevity issues with plywood and cost for the SIP panels. I'm looking at building it all out of aluminum square tube and sheet with a combination of flat and spray insulation and phenolic spacers...

Thanks! The wood is going to be used for the inside of the RV build I'm doing on the back of the M36. Initially I was going to use a shelter that drops in the bed, but now looking at doing a pivoting sub-frame and custom building the container with expanding sides and roof. Mockups are...

Thanks! I'll take some more when I go grab a giant Sycamore that's in the river. This was a quick weekend trip with very little help, so wasn't much time for picture taking. I think I do have a few more of the build though.

After spending nearly all day and only getting a couple slabs cut, the idea of the Alaskan mill went out the window, and we loaded it all up for a local sawmill to finish. I really wanted the stump, but knew I had zero way to get it pulled onto a trailer due to its enormous weight. So taking...

Backstory: I've been working on removing a 100+ year old Oak tree that fell from a friends land about 3 hours from where I live. Access pretty much requires 4WD and good clearance, and you can forget running to the store for anything you might have forgotten. To that end I've been building...

Another big thanks for all the help I've received from John, he made the transition into the world of green much easier.

I read a voltage of 0.0781 at no load. What Dewie38 says make sense as these are variable speed engines.

Double check that the molex connectors are fully seated into the governor. Mine appeared to be plugged in, but pulled out easily. I got it to snap in place and no more issues with the 831A. I'll check my voltages between those terminals this evening and let you know what I read.

Removed the container in preparation for going to get the tree next weekend. Spent some time clearing cedar trees from a friends property over the weekend. Video in link https://www.dropbox.com/s/52e0ptk386uiszr/Tree%20Clearing.mp4?dl=0

Got the front shocks upgraded today, the old ones were shot. I went with the Monroe 34787, but had some issues with the bushings being too thick to start the nut. I put them in a lathe and shaved them down until they fit. (About .100 removed) It was a tad harrowing to have that much weight...

Do you have a build log going? I'd love to see what you're doing.

Picked up 550 gallons of brand new sunflower oil today that was being given away for free. I've read on here that the exhaust smells much different when burning it, will be interesting to see how she runs. The stuff looks perfect, but I'm going to run it through a filter and water separator just...

Well I went out this weekend to a friends land to find a tree. The plan is to create a live edge counter with cabinets that follow the contours of the live edge counter. The requirements are: must be a hardwood, must be at least 24" in diameter, can't be rotten or hollowed out, and it must...

Thank you!

I flipped my hubs last week, but noticed that one of the tires wasn't sitting flush with the hub, further inspection revealed that the one hub has a spacer that was not allowing the adapter plate to slide all the way flush. It appears these "spacer" plates are supposed to be on the rear instead...

R.O. Unit came from auction site, was billed as not working so no one bid on it. Turns out the GFI had been tripped... I saw some decent looking units with UV on a popular auction side about $200. Looked like under the counter coupled with charcoal and UV.

I finally had a weekend where I wasn't on the road and was able to get the new wheels and tires installed. Surprisingly the seals and bearings were in good shape, so nothing was replaced yet. I'll wait until I do the lockers to replace them.

Problem solved, thanks for the information.

I've searched online and on this forum for a couple hours now, finally giving up. I have a broken valve stem on a 24 bolt aluminum MRAP wheel, it appears to take a 1/4" NPT, but now I'm wondering if it's a metric thread. I found a 1/4" NPT to Schrader valve, but it doesn't want to thread into...

It's primarily aluminum with the walls and roof panels made out of something like this https://www.merrittsupply.com/product/nida-core-structural-honeycomb-fiberglass-laminated-panels-h8pp/ they are about 1" thick with aluminum hollow barstock for ribs.
