I mount my own as well. The O-rings come in two sizes: too big and too small. You can read stories about heating up the small ones or freezing the large ones, none of that is worthwhile. Get the big ones (or even a spool of the correct diameter rubber), use a single edged razor blade to cut the...

Did you know that 5/4 of the population does not understand fractions?

Oooh, I see. I have one of those diesel transfer pumps from HF. Quite often I see a piece of construction equipment waaaaay out in the boonies ( or even in the median of a major interstate) just parked there, "offering " to donate fuel in an emergency :) I have never had to take up the offer...

Are you guys running out of fuel ? I'm trying to imagine a scenario where the stock, giant diesel tank isn't enough.

pic of the cutdown runflats retains beadlock feature, but can air down.

changed it up 2 spares

I miss the yellow CAT that was in my A3..........hey.......

routine maintenance and a bit more Yes, each maintenance cycle, do something to undo the effects of 34 years. Then your CUCV will set you free.

added a spare spare and an easily accessible hydraulic jack. At least two of the other rigs that I travel with run the same 16.5 inch, two piece, double beadlock wheels that I do. The tire on the bottom of the stack is mounted, ready to go. The top is a tire only. Recall these H1 wheels/tires...

now that the truck has a roll cage Will try going with two of these 6 circuit boxes that mount to a roll cage element. One push button will be for glow plugs, the second for the starter. I discovered that when I am harnessed in, I can't reach the dash mounted controls.

new seat belts Doesn't help to have a cage if I don't stay in it :)

ancient Indian artifact? No, just petrified bumpstop. Replacing them, turns out that using shocks to limit suspension travel is no bueno :)

I see two- electric cooling fan setups out there. I am imagining rewiring them in series then powering off the 24 V bus. Guess that would go in the mods forum, sorry :)

Oh, I don't know, I can imagine DC motors driving alternators, power steering pump, even an air conditioning compressor. Could be a modular design: each function in a box with its corresponding motor. Just a thought experiment, not claiming its practical.

inventory of 34 yr old parts Now that I have made safety improvements (still need the 5 pt harnesses) its time to improve reliability. I can get into some pretty remote desert locations. Working from nose to tail, am listing any part that is 34 years old. Those parts will get queued up for...

Yes 203/205, also considering 208/241 as I have that hardware. Better yet, next years tax refund for a Magnum box :)

Oh, and I was gonna put two of them in there....

I'm thinkin' that an electric fan + switch does not stretch...

New exhaust system. Went from dual to single, drivers side exit. This is because the dual mufflers take up alot of real estate under there, and I need the space passenger side for "transfer case stuff".

I did, a Dodge D-50 (Mitsubishi). It was orange, decal'ed, and electric powered :)
