    Behr or Rustoleum for dash?

    I'm covering mine with prism tape. Going for the 70's retro look !! LOL

    Stuck A1R Pintle hitch?

    You just need to work things around. They are a VERY tight fit some times (both taking the pin out and replacing it). Other times it will slide right out. DO NOT MODIFIY/grind !!!! You will be hard pressed to find any replacement parts and you will be fucked if you alter it....

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    Colt has a video up of rebuilding the A0. Might compare that to what you saw while doing your A1.

    Ramdough Cab Modifications Build Thread

    Well, it's not "correct". The original grab bar needs to be replaced with the newer version. But crossing over the old-style grab bar shouldn't really be an issue.

    Stupid Question about Highway Gears??

    Yes, but a "reasonable markup". I don't expect vendors to not make a profit and I'm well aware of overhead. But there are many who go way beyond reasonable. I Again, I'm not talking about doing any work or providing any service. Just scalping surplus at insane prices.

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    Yeah, I pulled the wrong image. That was the latch rebuild kit. Sorry Yep, you have the right kit (only one that's I've ever seen).

    Ramdough Cab Modifications Build Thread

    I bet I could make the brackets and the inboard backing plate with a trip to Lowes and a hand grinder. Yeah, it's been "tropical". You got out before it got really bad. Rained all week with the worst being the past two nights/mornings. My garage has about an inch of water in it and I can...

    Stupid Question about Highway Gears??

    Well, yes. But when you buy a $50 chunk of scrap and flip it for $5000 there are a few other words that can apply, IMO. Scalping, price fixing, price gouging, ripping off, wallet raping, profiteering, taking advantage of, etc. I get capitalism being king and all, but 1000% markup is a bit "in...

    Ran across this. Seems in some cases the straps were in fact used with the old hand grab.

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    Interesting. Because there is still (to my knowledge) only one rebuild kit for the pump. Following because I have to rebuild my A1R soon and I have the kit.

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    Yeah, I can't prove it but if there were to have been a change it would have been at the shift to armor variants (the extra weight).

    Stupid Question about Highway Gears??

    Don't get me started. Corner the market, set the price.

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    I'm pretty sure so. I know the hoses and the manual pump are the same on my A0 as my A1R. Not 100% sure about the air/over pump, but I can't see why the A0 would be any different (same task).

    Good stuff. There are a lot of places that can use some insulation behind the dash. When I pull my heater to do the AC I intend to stuff as many spots as I can find. Yeah, the handles are a tight fit. I'll be looking for a solution myself when I do my interior. I'm thinking it's either...

    What is it?

    Actually, solar and wind are officially classified as "unreliable". So the how does matter...to Texas. :) Abbott ordered the Public Utility Commission of Texas to take several immediate actions, including: Streamline incentives within ERCOT to encourage development and maintenance of...

    Ever try to get those damned stickers OFF? And there are at least two dozen slapped in various places all over a truck. And they are sun-baked on... Heh

    What is it?

    I won't post because it's politics, but right after I posted this I saw that today Abbott ordered the Public Utilities Commission to make it happen. :)
