    Window misalignment problem

    Wow, thats a new one. Good catch, I'm glad it worked, cool! Did you have to weld in new body mounts to keep it all straight again?

    Window misalignment problem

    Ahhhhhiiiieeeeeeee, I think that the hard tops lock everything together. You might be opening a can of worms, if your lower windshield seal doesn't leak now, oh - right, you'd want to angle it tward the rear, so it might tighten the seal. When I took off my top and back, I noticed upon...

    Window misalignment problem

    I have this same problem and its one thing that drives me nuts. When you remove the access panel and wind the windows all the way down you will see two pieces of angle iron with two screws each. They are about two inches long and are on the bottom glass frame. The slotted holes are there to...

    Pulling 2x2s out of stake pockets

    What is the opinion of heating the metal around the wooden problem until the wood starts to char which may shrink it a little? The charring might also lubricate the pocket on its way out like graphite does for certain applications. Though I do realize that this trick may/will make a mess of...

    door locks

    The reason that I didn't go with a locking handle is that I didn't want someone to rip the thing off trying to get in. With what I did you can still turn the handle just the door won't open, so you can tell that turning the handle doesn't do anything to unlock the door. The square shafts inside...

    door locks

    Check out this set up. The little green rod in the first pic. is just above flush with the bottom of the body. This you push up to lock which puts a dead bolt into the door. The hole in the door is reinforced with tubing welded to a 1/4" square plate inside the door. That is what the 4 allen...

    door locks

    I fabed a top secret door lock for the drivers door and the pass. door can be locked first from the inside. If I show you it won't be top secret any more would it. Just kidding, I'll go see if I can get pictures now while its dark. I'll be back.

    Interest 2.5 ton to 5 ton wheel adapters

    Blackrock, if you look at the attached picture from Cuukvee you will see how close the two studs are (imagine two circles). There will not be enough room to spin one or the other but not both nuts, even if the deuce pattern is counter sunk. Cuukvee has the drawing for this type of adapter, but...

    MEP-002A Failed on it first real test! HELP! (again)!!!

    Ahhhhh, are your injectors stuck with something so that the IP fuel has no where to go and creates the heat? And upon shut down for a while magic happens and allows the injectors to work for a short time? You can disassemble them and clean them out, just count the turns on the nut that puts on...

    Search flash field and mep002 or mep003. It has been talked about for those models. It's something like (sorry, I'm going to get slapped for saying info that I don't have the definite answer for but just trying to help someone out) Run the unit then shut down and then start the unit up again...

    Interest 2.5 ton to 5 ton wheel adapters

    I don't know how to add a direct link to a thread, but look at this - Bobbed engine swap and hydo powersteering. Cuukvee85 has a deuce to 10 lug adapter already and has the drawings for them. My concern with this type of adapter is how much back space are you commited to with that nifty hunk of...

    Questions on painting a M109

    Nooooooo..... don't use Krylon for the camo! The different manufacturers will have a different sheen. Rustolium spray can flat black has a slight sheen while in the gallon can it does not. Why not use the brand of your flavor as described by the other guys? Gallons or spray cans, you can get...

    fuel return line noise

    "if you listen too carefully, you'll think you hear something "abnormal" - Yea, thats where its tough to settle with yourself what is normal. The engine seems to run smooth. There may be a knock, but after listening to other members videos the consensus is thats normal. I have cracked the...

    fuel return line noise

    I have been giving this issue some thought and wonder if it is a chain of events. I think that this may all be related. I had a fuel leak at the #1 injector where the steel line threads into the injector. I replaced the line and noticed a pronounced tapping from within the line. Thinking...
