Is that a Napa store?

For the large oring for the two wheel halves I ended up canceling the McMaster order because of the lead time and because when I received the new ones from Hutchinson it appears they are using a different compound the the original orings which took on the shape of the wheel. My guess is the...

Go on McMaster Carr site and look at o-rings. They do a great job a describing the different materials and application. Then pick based on your conditions such as needs to be gas resistant or heat resistant and so on.

Post your installation of them.

Set up bearings are also very useful. In my local town I’m the guy everyone wants to have do there ring and pinion set up for their Jeeps. Been doing them for over 20 years. But those are new gears with new bearings and shim kits. I would be nervous about doing these gears not having spare shims...

Thanks for the explanation that happened to my cab lift once and freaked me out. It finally started working but I never understood why and what fixed it.

My 2003 A1 did that when the ECM / Engine control module died. I had to get a mobile cat service tech to connect to it and diagnosed it.

If you have an air conditioner it not only cools you but….With the air conditioner running and then turn the heat blend door on will prevent condensation.

Yea, yea I live in Florida! But I was rock crawling Jeeps on 33”, 35” and 37”back before it became a trend in the mid 1990’s but airing the tires way on slick wet rocks is what got you up and over them. I would laugh at the people that didn’t understand it. It’s not so you can float on the...

Sorry bagging the tires, just means lowering the tire pressure so low they start to bag….like 8 -10 psi. Don’t worry you have beadlocks so the tires are not coming off the rim.

Doing donuts is so awesome, 😂 then the move to Florida comment…..🤣🤣🤣 If no chains bagging the tires is an absolute must.

I added air bags just to make sure I can adjust ride height later for the added load if needed.

Keep up the hard work, it’s worth it in the end. I did the same thing you doing just about a 1.5 years ahead of you. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. My thread is Keith’s M1078 project on this sight. I’ve been posting for a long time on my 1078 then 1.5 years ago bought a 1079...

Thought some before and after pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks for sharing all the pictures. I’ve been considering putting them on mine.

For it to affect multiple things it’s usually a common ground that is probably loose some where. Hard to find intermittent problems like that.

Thanks geo, 🤪 yes I rebuilt and repurposed those forward boxes, insulated them to make them accessible from the inside.

Then reassembled the bed frame after powder coating. The holes are to allow the bottom of the mattress to get ventilation to prevent moisture and mold. Now I have to take a break from working on it for a month or so while I have to work on some other paying projects for customers.

While it’s getting powder coated I worked on the Tambour doors for our cloths lockers at the front of the habitat. You can see them from the outside as well. It’s what the original heater and ventilation fan was in. Earlier I removed all the original louvered panels and installed 1/8” aluminum...

Next is the fabrication of the bed frame that is going to be attached to 4ea 30” actuators to raise and lower the bed. Everything had to be bolted together and assembled in side the habitat for the obvious reason that it’s way to large to fit. Testing the actuators then disassemble everything...
