    Habitat Flooring

    I have my flooring (four boxes left over from a project that I picked up cheap), my underlayment, and I'm dropping section of electric floor heating element under the center section. I've seen some builds where they lay the floor down in the entire hab and build over it, and some where they...

    Cab Latch Rebuild

    Since my rear cab bushings (A1R truck) literally fell out in chunks last week, I'm tossing in some hokey pucks until proper bushing solution arrives. I've had a slight hydraulic fluid leak at the latch and have the o-ring kit to do the rebuild. I thought I had bookmarked a video on the...

    Helo Fast Pass

    So I took the dog to the beach today for a swim (it's been hot as hell, damned climate change ie: summer). I was down a few miles from the crowds with nobody around for a quarter mile either direction. The dog is mostly oblivious to birds 90% of the time but oddly she will track aircraft (and...

    Build Ideas from a Van Life Site

    I'll give these guys credit, they did a nice job with the info. The site is a little rough to surf (I'd have never seen these if not for catching a link in a random search for something). While it's a smaller vanlife application, much of what they present can be applied to larger builds...

    Paging Dr Ronmar, etc

    2008 A1R Dash is going tits up. Speedo, 12v gauge, oil psi all blink out to zero (Low Oil dummy comes on). Fuel, 24v and air readings normal. Then I hit a little bump and Check Trans light comes on, then goes off, then all gauges come back to life. No funny noises, smoke, smells, etc...

    M1082 Air Brake Valves(s) Diagram? Midland/Haldex

    On the M1082 trailer there is a valve going into the air tank. It's not like the setup on the trucks, obviously. It has a single "Supply" inlet (the second is capped) which is fed by service air and a "Control" inlet that t's off to emergency and the brakes. There is...
