    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Guys, Sharecropper (Mike) is dealing with some fairly significant health issues right now. I just wanted to take the time to ask you guys to keep him in your thoughts and prayers (if you pray). You would be hard pressed to find a better guy than Mike and I am happy to call him my friend. In...

    Bumper mount tire carrier?

    Yeah, I am in on this... I would like to actually move my spare tire to a swing out spare tire carrier mounted on the bumper of my truck. I am wanting to do the same thing you are doing.

    m1008 37's 6in lift?

    Sorry this took so long but I’ve been off the site doing other things. My truck is about 7’ tall with the cab lights. I am running 37’s and have 7” of total lift up front and closer to 8” in the rear. .

    M1031 to M1028A1 Overland Build, Offroad Designs NP203/205, 4L80E Conversion

    Sorry that it has taken me this long to respond. Life gets busy. We used (I think) 3 1/2 or 4 inch square tube. The passengers side is bolted right up to the frame. What everyone wants to know is how did we get around the fuel tank... Pictures are worth a thousand words... Here you go...

    m1008 37's 6in lift?

    I can measure mine. I have 7" of lift up front and closer to 8" in the rear with the current rear spring setup. Do you want cab height?

    A friend of mine did. They are custom. I still need to paint them. Weather has been wet. I can take more pics if you are interested in seeing them.

    M1031 to M1028A1 Overland Build, Offroad Designs NP203/205, 4L80E Conversion

    Took the truck out for a "shakedown" run this past weekend. I aired my tires down to about 10 psi which made for a real comfortable ride on the washboard backroads. Just prior to hitting the pavement, I aired all the tires back up to 32 psi. This took about 40 seconds per tire. I am pleased...

    Adding to the thread... I did get my onboard air installed and functioning. This was important to me. I used quality components and will heavily depend on the system on the trail. I am adding a couple of pics and some videos of the system in use. Compressor function (clutch was...

    York 210 on board air mount, pics

    I guess the OP has not been on the site for a while. I would like to thank him for inspiring me to install my system. Eventually, I will start another thread explaining my install process. I did not cut corners and my install was not cheap. As I have a side project with a friend, it will...

    Folks, it has been a good long while since I have interacted with you and I promise that I will post more pics as I get the time... My truck is back on the road after being out of commission for three months. We still have a few bugs (leaks) to address but I figured that I would post some...

    m1009 rear license plate . what you dooing for a clean install and look ?

    I bought a magnet that car dealers use to attach dealer plates to cars that they use for test drives. I usually stick my plate either on the bumper (as pictured) or up on the tailgate. It has worked perfectly for years.

    York 210 on board air mount, pics

    OP - THANKS! This post has inspired me to do the same on my truck. I am thinking about mounting a surplus military tank where the second fuel tank would normally be on my vehicle. There is an affordable 7 gallon aluminum CARC green air tank for sale over on one of the auction sites. I will...

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    Not yet but I have some “lessons learned” that I will apply to this install. For example, I intend to build my platform about 18”-24” higher. This will make it easier to service. My Utah install may incorporate an automatic transfer switch and will include the Inova Hightec autostart kit...

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    If I recall correctly, the DPDT 200A Transfer switch was in the $600 range. They can be had cheaper. Check the auction sites. My 15-year home ended up being my three year home and now my family and the MEP803A are in Utah! I never would have imagined that happening...
