Attended a Memorial Day car show. About 200 kids and parents climbed in and out and took pics. Wife brought the dogs up and we had lunch together mid way thru. Had a blast!

Added some tire pressure stencils.

Added a turn signal under each drivers door. At 27' long there's room for two vehicles to be next to me and not see my front or rear blinker. I spliced them into the fronts using a long Y connector I made.

Yes. Get yourself a Honda as a DD. EVERY 5 ton needs mods and maintenance which for most preclude it from being a Daily Driver. Plus MPG sux and so does parking.

I covered my buzzer with a few layers of electrical that. Works for both parking brake and low air. Still noticeable but quiet enough that I can ignore it.

Thanks! This is it.

Also replaced a faulty temp sender and added some DOT tape to my mudflaps. Not appropriate for field use but certainly safer for civi use.

Cleaned and rebuilt 8 marker lights.

Doubtful. The tire is in contact with both the front of the bed and the back of the cab (actually with the 1\2 metal loops that hold the super rope). If the pole sticks out no further than those loops you might be okay.

Yes! And no. With the bracing in place the davit flexes downward about 2" under the weight of the larger tire. Without the bracing it flexes down about 3". In both cases moderate upward and inward pressure is required to move the tire into the storage position. This is mostly because the tire...

Amazon has them or find them at a craft store or in the paint section of most hardware stores. Got my super single stuffed in behind the cab. Had to remove the bracing for the davit and loosen the air intake to get it in but she fits. The intake bolts back into the same location but will need...

Applied my stencils.

Made some Stencils and freed my stuck davit.

Fabbed up a mount for my new solar panels. I'm going to add a solar charger controller and a watt meter. Maybe a solargizer later.

I gave my fuel canister a soak in muratic acid, painted it, installed new brake lines and a new fuel filter. Alas, she won't restart. See my help thread here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?140897-NHC-250-No-start-fuel-problem

I took mine to cars and coffee. A gathering of about 200-300 cars the 1st Sat of each month. Everything from Ferraris to Fords. About 30 kids climbed in and out for pics. I also sorted out my big toolbox. I fixed my tach. I also began my an my hunt for two new shackles for the rear.

I replaced 4 wood bows with metal ones. Thanks to Warthog for the hookup! And I let some friends 'convince' me to get some truck nuts :)

I just replaced my hi beam switch. Fixed my headlight problem.

I replaced several burned out dash bulbs. Began fixing my tach. Read the TM on how to test my oil sending unit. Broke loose and then properly torqued all my lug nuts. Lowered my tire pressure to 35psi in the hopes of a less bouncy ride.

I replaced my winch control cable and my winch now works! Woo-hoo, time to go off road!
