Removed a shelf in my M1031 to fit jerry cans in there...have to remount it about 6" higher and paint the area.. Then I will not only be able to store 80 liters of fuel but using a super siphon I can empty a 5 gal can in less than 2 mins....unattended.....
Yes, there are three on each fork... but you never know what you will find wrong till you open it up. I pulled one apart today that came out of a 60,000 mile CUCV that never saw the road after it was auctioned. It was missing the brass syncro (for lack of a better description) had one really worn fork and no magnet inside, along with couple other ground up parts.

Since the last time I was here:
Sold my M101 trailer with S-250 shelter to a guy who made a bid on it.
Last january he bid €1000.- for it and a few days ago I thought, what do I care, sell it.
Did have to clean it out and remove my trucks license plate, but he kept to his original bid.
Also made a flag holder on the truck. A buddy of mine gave me 2 poles he had on the bumper of his M35a2.
With a little effort I put 1 on a bracket next to the lightbar, then put a flag on it with the help of a small threaded rod.
The flagpole sits on a rubber bracket, so it can flex a bit. and yes, that is a golfball on top of it.
Now on the look-out for a small caravan to paint camo and tow behind the M1028.
Because of reasons, the caravan may not exceed 750kg fully loaded.
It is a road law here, anything under 750kg does not need a separate licenseplate and insurance.
Also on the look-out for trailer light buckets, as the bulb sockets from my towing light cable are corroded.

I replaced the front leaf spring bushings with Energy Suspension Bushings (3.2105).
All 6 looked pretty sad.
Also rebuilt and painted a couple of spare alternators. The rebuild kits were from member Tow4.

Yes, all is well. Same good wishes for ya'll.
A picture of the new bushing would make sense wouldn't it? I must say I didn't take one, but will when I get home and will edit this post tomorrow.
Tomorrow is today.

Past couple of months
In the past couple of months I have installed a light bar, cab clearance lights, pulled the motor to reseal and do freeze plugs, painted the engine a tan color (wanted to do the detroit green but funds are tight) and compartment. As you can see in the pictures, hopefully they attached haha

Didn't do anything, just drove around, saw an old friend, chatted and asked him to be on the lookout for 2 new 33x12.5x16.5 tires.
Still contemplating if it was a good idea to sell the trailer with shelter combo..

That trailer combo is very desirable and a tough find here in the US, let alone where you are.
Unless in dire need of cash, I would not have parted with it.

Is a M101 tough to find there? And an S250 shelter?
the reasons for selling were:
-I don't use it very often, more like a spare shed.
-No room to stand up straight.
-Sleeping area too small in width, was afraid I would roll off.
-The weight(distribution) of the combo was not of my likings.
-Little outside light coming in
-The small confinde space does not allow for a couple of people to sit inside and play some cards, in the event of rain.
