Updated link to Augi's post on G503 https://forums.g503.com/viewtopic.php?f=4675&p=1197018 Bulldogger

Fixed a bit of trail rash on the right ear door. Stitched it up and used a flexible glue to seal the seams. Zipper works fine, so I managed to keep far enough away from the edge of the zip while restoring the stitching. Lots of small stuff. The same log that reached in the window and boogered...

I flipped the lunette on my M101 so it would fit my HMMWV pintle better. Soldier B was a big help too. Bulldogger

Glad you can make it! See you there. Bulldogger

It sounds like a wiring issue contributed to PCB box failure. Some folks on here have been able to repair their box, if the fault was visually obvious. I agree your alternator (generator likely) is probably OK. Glow plugs are worth replacing if you do not know how old they are, as the older...

Keep at it. Looks like you're on the right track. Fuel and air is what she needs. BDGR

My son (9yo) will be there yes. I know the White's (he had the little German Munga last year) will attend with their boys too. The Rock Ridge folks will attend and the granddaughter of the trailmaster (drives the black "Kermud" 4x4) will almost certainly be there. There are a couple more...

Registration papers and USPS MO sent yesterday. We're confirmed for the event. I'll bring the HMMWV, two tents (one for Betsy Bulldog to snore in alone), and my new-to-me 1962 M101 along with some milsurp goodies I've picked up to hawk at the CP. Bulldogger

It runs the gamut. Some tent camp and cook over a fire (me), some camp with generators and all-around lighting, some camp in converted utility trailers and cargo trailers, some come in mini RVs, some sleep at the Lodge with 3 meals a day prepared for them. Whatever/however you want to do it is...

The rear wobble that I've observed has been due to control arms and ball joints, but if you checked them maybe they're OK. The one's I observed on someone else's ride were easy to wiggle with the wheel jacked up off the ground. Good luck nailing it down. BDGR

My current design wouldn't fit as-is, due to the gap between the ear leg and the rear corner. Not sure I could make a cover to fit well, bc of that gap. A piece of EMT conduit placed on the inner or outer side of each ear leg down to the back corner might make it workable. Not a lot of center...

If I recall correctly, you've had your ride a while and have done the usual recommended improvements like a grounding harness and all that? Were it me, I'd check all connections first, particularly all the ground wires and the alternator wires connections as noted. If it still acts odd, I...

Looks good. Might put mine there. BDGR

I saw that and had to have it. Found the best price at a website called Zoro. The Surplus warehouse has a good price, but shipping was almost the same price as the two steps I wanted. Amazon has it, but at nearly $15 each with Prime. At Zoro I was out the door with two of these for just...

As stated you can roll it up and bungee it and let it be in a roll on the A pillar, or you can remove it. The front rail either slides off or has 8-10 screws holding it on (mine has screws). A little practice and you can get the top off in 10 minutes. It takes a little longer to jigger...

Sounds like your fan system is not right. Easiest check is the temp sensor wires, per TM, the sensor that is near the thermostat. Then check the Cadillac valve, also called the valve solenoid (some are marked Cadillac manufacture, hence the nickname). You might also check your fan is not...

It will be interesting to see how you cover them, if you follow through on that idea. I covered mine in canvas. I sourced frames for TheCaptain to make his own, though I'm not sure he's started yet. Here is my version of half doors...

Tight on the outboard side of the connections too? Under the truck, looking at the outside of the battery compartment near the starter? That's a two headed lug, for lack of a better term, and needs to be tight on both sides. Common issue. BE CAREFUL checking that one, as you're moving a...

When I repaired the stator of an old Honda motorcycle I sealed it with Minwax polyurethane. I ran it happily charging the battery like that for a several months afterward before selling. Can't speak to longevity of the Minwax in the presence of oil mist since I sold it before long. I'm...

I've got worse leaks than that and happily took my HMMWV up the side of mountains earlier this week. Clean it up and see what's really happening, then watch your oil level and see if it's losing enough to even show up as changes on the dipstick. That looks like a definite "why bother" to me...
