I thought I would just make one but a buddy found one for me for $40.00. Boy it's a heavy sucker and wouldn't be that easy to duplicate. Barry

This is how I am going to revamp my battery box. I was at the Sussex show in the spring and saw the way Digger09 did this and thought it looked great. Notice the way he finished the handle on the end of the can. Nice engineering. Cheers, Barry

Last year I bought a civy C2500 2WD rust free Chev truck in Virginia and imported it to Canada. It had a cube box with a tail gate loader. I am licensed to perform the normal Mechanical Fitness Inspection, which I did, but on an import vehicles you must go to Canadian Tire for an extra...

Hoi Rob I recognized Reomie in your photo. What a great spot to make your wallet lighter. My buddy Dirk takes me there every time I visit him in Noord Holland. mvg, Barry

These are great trucks to drive. They are not high speed but very comfortable. Mine is a tipper and as you can see in the photo (not my truck) they dump from the rear or either side. I imported mine into Canada and the morning I had to clear Customs at the Port of Toronto, which is actually...

Did you install the new copper washers or use the old ones? I have found that if the old washers are used the chances of leaks are minimal or no existent. The new washers are very soft and have to be tightened almost to the point of stripping the threads in the caliper. It could also be that you...

RobM36A2, congrats on the DMV inspection. I have friends in Holland that are always having problems with the inspections there. Good luck with the truck. Met vriendelijke groeten, Barry

Muddobber, thanks for the photo. That looks real nice and will cover the crappy look of the underside of my hood. Barry

Hillbilly Wizard was amazing! I bought a nice CUCV door from him and wanted a bumper that he didn't have unpacked. He gave me first choice on the bumpers when he got them off the skid the next day. Now that is what I call " Customer Service". I bought a few other odds and sods and the same as...

Are you the Scarborough side or the Mississauga side? Barry

I asked my buddy Big Ed (6'8" & 345 lbs) about your problem and he suggested trying it in 4X4 with the front drive shaft removed. If it still does it then he you know it is probably in the transfer case. He has run in to this problem before and it has been the bearings on the 4X4 end of the...

Howey, from the paint cans in the photo I take it you restored the radios. Nice work! How did you do such a nice job on the white lettering? Barry

I managed to pick up a new Humvee pan (with drain plug) at the MTA swap in Sussex for $10.00. I thought that was a great deal. In my business when we do an oil change on a car with a white nylon gasket on the plug we automatically replace it at no charge. I would rather eat the price of the...

Wilfred, (Captw1) tool his Mule bed to my buddy who is a sandblaster and he did a great job. He did it holding the nozzle back a bit and used fine sand, Wilf was happy. His Mule is not a pristine restoration but a daily driver around his property and for Sussex, Gilbert and Coe Hill. His theory...

A friend of mine always tells the story of the older gentleman who walked up to his Jeep at a show and said" aw yes a TP25, I used to drive one of them". Barry

Hi Gilles My truck has been converted to R134A so that issue is settled. I did try the air and it blew cold but I didn't pay attention to how fast the blower speed was. It may be still 24V while the truck has been converted to 12V by the Eden Vermont Police. My batteries do go dead if left more...

Here is my M1010 just three days after getting it home from New Jersey.:shock: Barry

Bshupe, that's a real military looking seat. Too bad no one knows what it's out of. Those knobs on the front of each one look interesting. Barry

Wow, thanks for the quick replies. ODdave, the side panels look strange because the unit is mounted inside this trailer. He took more photos of the trailer than the generator. I will have to get him to open it and get more photos. Thanks, Barry

A guy says he has a military generator I can buy cheap. I asked him for a photo and this is what he sent. Not much of a view. :confused:Is there enough visible for any of you guys to tell me what it might be and is it worth a trip to look at it? Thanks, Barry
