I let my 16 year old son drive it to school today...hopefully other than putting a few miles on it...he didn't "DO" any unscheduled modifications to it! He will be 17 in a few days....
My son and I made a Youtube walk around/ride along video in ours . He is honing his video making skills. He is 16 and essentially direct and shot and edited it all. We did one on the boat the week before and are going to do one on the 23 T-bucket and the 69 Camaro. Been a while since I...
Drove mine to the local State Park last night - met with this friendly blockade Park is closed indefinitely due to COVID 19. I thought about driving around said blockade as my dog really wanted to go for a trail, but opted to turn around.
So...local autoparts store "said" they ordered the felpro gasket...but at 3 pm I called and they said it wasn't ordered. I like the paper so it is on...I can torque it...and add oil right away. Not messy like the RTV method. So, I did the RTV thing - but the grey optimum stuff had me put the...
So, I just did seals on both diffs and brakes. Was adding oil to rear diff. Wasn’t paying attention and screwed the fill plug all the way in and it fell in the rear diff. Can’t take the cover off due to caliper brackets. Can’t take caliper brackets off without dropping axles and side yoke hubs...
Hauled a ton or more of gravel and paver stones to dress up my chicken/duck coop area.
The camber went neutral on the back tires and it rode super smooth.
It was nice to put it to work.
yes it is. And been there done that. Dang rodent pee also rotted out the heater core.
Ive bleached and replaced all the soft duct hose. I’ve painted the inside of the blower housing and it still wreaks of mouse nest when I turn on the blower. I hope you have better luck than I.
I know what you mean. The Humvee is a real bonus (but I take the soft doors and roll up the canvas to protect the soft windows from damage). We have done a game play where the boys (15 and 16) under my supervision "SLOWLY" bring the humvee across the field and "run out of fuel" They then have...
So.....EVERYTHING (other than the kid and Humvee) in these pictures is now GONE! Massive rain and floods - washed it all away.
But, we see piles of pallets here and there down the creek and fields from our property. Once the ground dries up, will load the Humvee and go retrieve what we can...
I installed a glove box. Three zip screws and a small plastic ammo can from Harbor Freight mounted bottom to the windshield above the steering wheel just to the left of the cut-out for the wiper arm access. FINALLY, can get the paper goodies off the box on the floor.
I also ordered an 8"...
Replaced the temp gauge (240 degree) and temp sending unit. Temp needle was all over the place. Dancing and jiggling. Turns out it was just a poor connection at the sending unit. But went ahead and swapped it out.
Installed a ground kit - and wired up the relay and switch for a water tank in the bed we use for burning fields. Found my no-start - no wait light issue...TSU sensor came apart. But, I rigged it up and got it running - couldn't let a snow storm get passed me without doing some Humvee donuts...
Mine left me stuck. No glow light. No start. Can’t get it to move and it is blocking my shop.
Thibking about hot wiring 24 to the plugs so I can at least start and move it till I have time to sort the failure.
