Weight? What weight? It weighs like 125#, and even with several people in it there hasn't been a problem. It works on trucks too: http://cascadiatents.com/images/med_1340982710.jpg http://cascadiatents.com/images/1325449097.jpg Two on one truck: http://cascadiatents.com/images/1339279825.jpg

I wish I had read this before I had to figure mine out the long way. Nevertheless, I still can't get the lock cylinder out of the old crank to put it in the new one. Does anyone know what's holding the lock cylinder in?

Flip the rear seat forward for a few days and report back.

The aircraft tach will fit in the diagnostic bracket really well. You need to hog out the holes just a little bit, but otherwise it should fit really well. I have an aircraft clock in mine, and a similar looking oil pressure gauge waiting to install in another diagnostic bracket I picked up...

I notice yours has the sliding windows on the cap. I put some on mine and it's a great upgrade.

What happened when you disconnected the ground wire and put the key in Run?

So the gauge is off-scale high? Mine was stuck at ¼ full and only moved down from there. I did the troubleshooting procedure from the FM and the results said the indicator was bad. $60 for a new one and it's fixed. You start by disconnecting the ground wire which is bolted to the frame...

Start pulling fuses. Begin with the heater blower motor. Pull the fuses for whatever accessories you normally run- one at a time- until you figure out which is causing the high draw.

It used to be called SOAP testing. Yeah, I'm old. We used to call long distance phone Autovon too, now it's DSN. The CBPO office isn't anymore either...

Nice! Love the aluminum wheels. Will you be taking it back to green?

Have I mentioned how really great it is to have a working fuel gauge? No new work to report, but I did take the 1009 out to spend the night at a trailhead before a hike. I like to get on the trail before anyone else shows up and spooks the wildlife. I took a few shots of the CVT tent...

I'm very far from being an expert about these things, but my gut says you should check the rear wheel bearings. The added weight may have made a failing bearing worse, and bad bearings will start to bleed grease as they go.

I got the box with the door seals and new fuel gauge after work today. Before I could get to either of those I wanted to run by the self-serve car wash and check the body seals and window seals now that the roof is back on. Those all checked out good, the sliding windows will leak...

I've been posting up my progress here, but my website has more info and better pictures that enlarge if you click on them.

Wow, putting the roof-tent on the fiberglass top first was a huge mistake. I had one friend to help and it was all we could do to lift it up. I hope the seals stayed put and I have no leaks when the rain comes. http://www.topohiker.com/news/newspics/CUCV/RoofOn1.png...

GP? I'm building the 1009 to serve as a hiking and backpacking vehicle. I have a beautiful 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I'm nervous to leave at the trailhead for several days. It's great for day-hikes though. Incidents are rare, but it could be life threatening to be out somewhere without a...

I got quite a bit done today. I got all the new seals installed so the roof can go back on the truck. After that I got to work installing the Solargizer. I installed the panel off the hood with rubber washers to isolate it from vibration...

Busy busy busy for the last few days. I scraped the OEM seals off the bottom of the truck cap. Two down and two more to go. Today I installed the new side rails on the truck roof, which is in the garage. It's a lot easier to do with the roof on the floor of the garage. The...

Doing the math in my head, which is notoriously dangerous, it appears that you're saying your receiver is only 9" off the deck? That doesn't sound right. I looked at wheel adapters and the 8-lug ones were outrageously expensive.
