60 degrees yesterday, nice day to work on the M1010. This @offroaddesign 1 1/2โ€ tie rod and @bilsteinus steering stabilizer has been sitting in the corner for a while. Finished off with a tie rod mount for the stabilizer from @diy4x . Toe and go provided by @tmrcustoms to keep her headed straight. Definitely should be an upgrade from the stock setup! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿฅƒ #M1010 #cucv #k30 #campulance

Wow!
Much beefier for sure!

That alignment tool is pretty sweet too.

Decided to take on a bigger project today. Been dreading drilling a couple of these holes. Measured at least a dozen times, the first one is always worst. Itโ€™s anchored into the body structure so itโ€™s damn solid. @taruca_usa darkness by Bushwakka 270+ awning, @rackbrax mounting brackets and @racksbrax.us hitch mounts. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿฅƒ #M1010 #cucv

You always got something interesting going on, Mad Texan. Nice item!

Just curious:

- How fast can you drop all that if the wind suddenly picks up?

It actually opens and closes up rather quickly. A little longer on closeup due to folding/ rolling the fabric and securing everything with Velcro straps. But no more than 5 minutes and in reality itโ€™s less. Iโ€™ve now opened it twice and already did better with closing it.

This has been an idea in my head for quite some time. My simplistic drawing was fabricated by Matt @camfabrication in Topton, PA, with some parts from @ruffstuffspecialties . I wanted to make sure the right side door would open with the tire in place and hold my 60โ€ @hiliftjacks . Also have the tire swing past the body. Itโ€™s attached with the shackle mounts to the bumper structure with 5/8โ€ bolts. Next some finish to protect it. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿฅƒ #M1010 #cucv #k30 #campulance

While getting the tire carrier built I had another small project done as well. Not looking to tow anything big at all. But the option of a M102 or a flat fender jeepโ€ฆ ๐Ÿค”. Or, a step when the steps canโ€™t be used. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿฅƒ #M1010 #cucv #k30 #campulance

Took a little trip last week logging about 350 miles. My first stop at @abcbrewco in Mechanicsburg, PA on my way to @overlandfestival . Appropriately the gps took me over back roads to event. Parked in a large field and ready to relax! Already meet some great people. A great event put on by @mainlineoverland . We had a whiskey and bourbon sampling on Friday night and another fire! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿฅƒ #M1010 #cucv #k30 #campulance

Decided on a communication method for the truck. Purchased the @midlandusa #mxt575 because it fits neatly in small places and is high powered. Weโ€™ll have to see if a external speaker is necessary. New antenna cable came in to replace the magnetic mount. Thatโ€™s as high as I can get and probably want my antenna! I ran out of zip ties and will clean up the loose wires. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿฅƒ #M1010 #cucv #k30 #campulance
