Another M1010 owner

[Mad Texan]

Just a slight difference... good for reclaiming space for storage. Drilling holes today and laying things out... I think I got those holes where those directions said to. . Something in the back of my mind keeps calling me with that big round hole...

Nice work!

Super quiet around here... some other things being worked on...

Looking good as usual. Lights hooked up to reverse or a switch?

Thanks! The lights are on the reverse circuit and come on automatically.

Continued progress in the box... I got my DC to DC charger mounted... I need to get serious about my house battery setup (24v @ 280aH).

Another parts pile is growing...

Sweet!

Some post Turkey wiring! Installed pods and 6.5 Kicker speakers. Picked up a 4” foam futon mattress. Started wiring the DC-DC charger that will separate the house battery and box from the main batteries. Installed a DC-DC reducer with a variable voltage output.

I’ve been working on a box/ hold down for my house battery and think I have it worked out now! I need it done as I also accomplished some more wiring. The Sony Kicker combo is up and running! Some neighbors said it sounds good... We have tunes!!! #m1010

These shipped to me back in June. I haven’t done anything to them other than top balance them in groups of 4. When they shipped I got a video of them all being 3.29v for a combined 26.32v. First time I’ve had them all together and they still show 26.25v after traveling and then sitting almost 6 months... . I’m making more copper bars but came up 3/4” short for the last one . Disassemble... again. A little table and miter saw time and we have a BMS mount!

Black Friday purchase came in. 24v Compressor and a 2.5 gallon tank. Compressor fits behind the battery box and the tank will tuck up in between the fuel tank and the body work and mount on the box supports right below the compressor. Some days I read the tape measure correctly... some days... I don’t want to talk about it.

Fun project. Needed to uncap the third line on the sending unit for the heater fuel feed. Pulled the sending unit to check how deep the pickup is... to the bottom . Extended the fuel line out. Second time I’ve installed a tank in this thing in the dark... . Finished plumbing the heater... we have heat!!!! Finally closed off the hole from the old heater with some sheet metal and insulation. Might be a while before it’s painted, 36 yesterday and 12 to 20 of snow today. I also secured some angled aluminum as a barrier for some protection for the heater. Then just took her out for about an hour ride to stretch her legs. #m1010

If it works it works! I was looking at the Jatonka cover yesterday morning and if there was online ordering it would be ordered...
