This week I finally got my 24 volt LED cab lights mounted the way I wanted them on that narrow strip over the windshield. And this evening I redid my bumper and clevis's. While I liked the bumper numbers on there.....I was not at all a fan of the tan colored paint in big ugly rectangles. It...

I got some more kind of cool video of my M925A1 in the woods:naner: https://youtu.be/M2jnFvarub4 The reason I got the video was to put in a music video I was making:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOpkT9xKAU8

I really want to do that on mine, and was just today figuring that the heater core supply lines would probably be the best place to tie into. I was thinking directly in line with one of them though. But I can see how this setup would still allow the coolant to be filtered. And I suppose an...

I spent Saturday and Sunday at Sand Lake Recreation area here in northwestern Oregon. It's always fun letting people see these trucks. And yes, like Piper Cub said, they seem to get so much more attention when you are flying the flags. Today I drove it over to Lincoln City, and went to...

That's awesome! Very cool!

I went ahead and used my plasma cutter. Figured out how to measure the lines to get the angles right, then used tape around the pipe as a guide, then drew the lines on, then cut with my plasma cutter. And what proved to be most instrumental in making it work was my big 7 inch angle grinder...

Done:-) I like it. Went down to Wallace Marine Park boat ramp in Salem Oregon this evening. Just out for a nice evening drive. Went to the Freightliner dealership in Salem to get some anti freeze, and when I came back out from the parts department, my truck was surrounded by...

That's probably the best and easiest option. They've already got the tools.

Sadly I do not. But even my dad's 14 inch metal chop saw wouldn't cut a 6 inch diameter pipe like this. You'd have to cut part way through and then flip it over and cut from the other side, and then getting your cuts to line up always sucked. I guess my main problem is figuring out how to get...

Today my 6 inch exhaust pipe came UPS:naner: So this evening I spent a couple hours putting it on. I discovered that although I like loud big diesel trucks........this engine, without a turbo on it, is just too loud straight piped. Even though it wasn't too loud for me personally inside the...

I installed some H4 conversion headlights. Want LEDs but still too expensive for me. Lubed the entire truck, checked all the fluids. Happy that I've been driving it around in the woods behind my house a little for the past couple days after replacing my broken cylinder liner and piston, and...

Got my new cylinder liner and piston put in my M925A1 today. But was halted because my new head gasket hasn't got here yet. Hate that when progress stops just because a part isn't here yet. I could make a 4 hour round trip to Portland where they have one in stock. Otherwise I have to wait...

That's awesome! I need one of those!

Mounted some nice bright LED backup lights. Installed a keyed ignition switch. Drained the nasty old fuel and water out of the fuel tank. Just doing little stuff here and there while I wait for my new cylinder liner and piston to come so I can get my M925A1 on the road.
