    My M796 Work Trailer/Camper Build

    Thanks, but not really. I have the TM's and know where they go, just would like a photo of the little details. It seems like I'm missing a bracket or something. I have a couple MC's that I might rebuild, or pull some off an other trailer, . . . or buy some, . . . we'll see. It also seems like I...

    My M796 Work Trailer/Camper Build

    I could really use a photo of the brake master cylinders placement. Like from above w/ the floor plate opened. This one has none and I don't seem to find an image in the TM. Thanks for any help on this.

    My M796 Work Trailer/Camper Build

    Back from summer travels, Just so that everyone knows, the 37" radial hmmw tires do NOT fit, the 36" B-ply will (at least that's what others say, I'm still looking for some).

    Driving through Central America

    There are some things that we don't know about that, 1) that "expat" could still be a US citizen, . . . I do know people that consider themselves "expat" and still have US or UK citizenship. 2) and (if that person is still a citizen) if he did the same thing that we do when we are...

    Something concerning in the TM

    Not in the last 4 years. The tube of the mushroom has a cut in it that lets you squeeze it tight enough to hold on. It doesn't take much pressure to keep it there. It's held on for the last 4 years while we are out doing our Dirt Track Travels, so it's seen WAY MORE vibration than it would have...

    Something concerning in the TM

    I do know about that other port and have blocked it being that I'm not using a fording kit and don't want critters moving in. I'm also NOT saying that it's the only option, or that it is the only thing that I might do, but it is WHY I have the mushroom un-clamped. Like Gimpy says dumping the...

    Something concerning in the TM

    That's part of the reason I don't clamp the mushroom on. I can just pull it off and plug the air intake.

    Driving through Central America

    Seems like you did it right ;) I've spent many winters down south. Been down that route and back loads of times using mass transit and cheap rooms. Have friends in Costa and Pana. You really have me rethinking what I'm doing this winter ;) Enjoy!

    M109 She Beast is down - Fuel System Failure

    The fuse was good, could hear it running, and the bottoms can't fall off ours. I guess it's the physics that I don't get. If the fuel in the filters is pulled from the top, how can it drain half the can? Doesn't seem like it could suction it up. And we weren't able get it running in the...

    M109 She Beast is down - Fuel System Failure

    Like that idea. I'm still wondering what would cause the filter can to be half empty. Could a Mod remove the "Emergency" from the title please. Thank you for putting it there, it made us feel important :)

    M109 She Beast is down - Fuel System Failure

    Thanks, and no we don't have a tow bar, yet! I often think about getting one it just hasn't made it to the top of the list. Takes a lot just keeping them both rolling ;) My live-in trailer project will be eating the next batch of funds. Now if someone wanted to sponsor us w/ a towbar we would...

    M109 She Beast is down - Fuel System Failure

    Checked that. Put in New primary & secondary, even though they were fairly new. Spent long time getting fuel to bleeder. She's running now and we are rolling south to Bishop and down 395. Please keep an eye out for us. Hopefully all is good. Thank you all, it's nice to know we have this helpline.

    M109 She Beast is down - Fuel System Failure

    No fuel to bleeder on secondarys . Pressure at primary. Changed primary filter. Still no fuel at bleeder. Pulled secondary. Low fuel in can. Activated pump w/ can off, no fuel. ???

    M109 She Beast is down - Fuel System Failure

    On 6 between the Cali stateline and the turn to N 360. It looks like we are West of Mnt Montgomery on the map. Have food and shelter w/ the rig. The problem - non starting. Will start on starting fluid, then dies. Don't have loads of info because I'm not driving her. I do have the Draggin here...

    M35 Deuce Bed Trailer ( Future Camper)

    I think they both should be tandem ;) Really don't like single axle trailers on the tracks we use, that's why I'm trading in my 105 Hardtop for a bolster w/ a box.

    M105A2 Hardtop

    Yes there is ;) This is the Jack, both in it's stowed position and as it would be set up in the center of the bed. And this is the pin point
