Where did you get that?

Sure!

Starting Friday evening, off and on through this evening, I sanded, straighten, and painted the bumpers and brush guard with Rustoleum rattlecan bedliner, replaced the carriage bolts holding on the brush guard, removed the euro fog lights and replaced them with driving lights.

Replaced my driver's rear shock mount assembly. I had the shocks installed about 2 months ago. Yesterday evening my son and I were trying out a new trail. Not too bumpy, but during the trip I heard a metal hitting metal "bang". Loud enough for me to wonder what it was, but not loud enough to...

I installed new, correct amperage, fuses in the fuse box. This included removing some previously installed "creative" wiring . I also built a portable ice cooler AC unit for my M1009. I'll let you know how well it does in the GA summer heat.

Replaced the old "push them through and then spread them apart" cotter pins on the D-rings with hairpin-style (?) cotter pins. After spending what seemed like 10 minutes getting the old pin out so that I could attach my recovery strap in the middle of the woods, I decided it was time to make a...

Ok all you purist, I know it's not regulation, but I think it's a good example of making use of the available resourses. Adapting and overcoming: Pic #1 - Wire shelf from kitchen section at Wal-mart, zip ties from Big Lots; Pic #2 - it can hold a Sterilite dust-proof storage container (held in...

Well I guess this was sort of a busman's holiday for you then. :-D The son in question in my story is 16, he's even less mechanically inclined that I am, and we were working on his first car. It went well though; we bonded and fixed the car. 8)

I'll tell you what a wise friend told me right before I started a father/son auto project - "The end goal is bonding with your son, not fixing the car." 2cents

Not sure exactly, but I'd guess around 200lbs. 2 men can pick it up; 3 people makes it even easier.

We had a pretty good thunderstorm last night with a strong wind, and the frame withstood it.

Did you make that, or buy it? If you bought it, does the seller have a website?

Well, on further review, as my youngest son used to say: "I've changeded my mind." There isn't as much side-to-side flex as I thought there'd be after all. I'll keep a close eye on it during our next windy day, and see what happens.

The cap is on the frame and it's holding it up. I realized yesterday, right after I built it, that I need diagonal bracing too. Back to Home Depot I guess.

I made a frame to put my topper on. It is 2' high, 3' wide, and 4' deep. The white part is 3/4" schedule 40 PVC pipe; the dark part is 3/4" metal pipe. I was originally going to use 2" PVC, but my local Home Depot didn't have 2" corner fittings. Also, the friendly associate who helped me told...

Is anyone interested in a variation on this theme - What have you paid to have done to you CUCV today/lately? :)

Replaced the passenger headlight and the adjustment screw.

What exactly is a cab curtain? Did you make it or buy it? Any photos?!

Readjusted my Silvania Silverstar headlights after initial install and new 2" lift

Finished console reinstall and replaced 4WD indicator switch. Oh, and give her a bath.
