I went with assemble my self. But assemble is the wrong word. Custom fabricate is more accurate.
I’ve had a lot of problems. Originally they told me to order the wrong power window mechanisms and I ducked with those forever. I eventually ordered a different sent which the company told me to...
I’m doing basically the same thing with my 1165.
I bought take out dodge caravan seats off eBay. That are nice and fit fairly well. The front passenger seat is just high as it’s over the batteries. I did decide to alter the beam behind the front seats to give more legroom. I’m 6’1” and...
I purchased a new set of housings as some are cracked.
Having them in my hand - I’m wondering if this plastic is UV stable?? It just seems like it’s not, and should be painted, to prevent them from cracking in the future. Curious if painting is necessary or not??
Is there a TM on these AC units? I haven’t be able to find the pages. My AC doesn’t work either. I know I need frion in the rear, so I’ll probably take the whole thing to an AC place but it would be nice to have the TM beforehand
I have no experience with them but Plan B sells an aluminum top without the curtain for $2000, but you don’t need the C Pillar. Soft tops can sell for that price I would bet. Factor in the cost of the C pillar and it may be the same or even cheaper to buy the aluminum top...
I did pull the lenses and clean them and make sure both were working. I did not know to clean the light windows in the gauges themselves. I will take a look at that.
So with those you’ve found the gauges to be much brighter??
I currently have green gauge lights that are super dull at night. I don’t think my “bright” setting works as it’s as equally dim on either setting.
Are there brighter bulb options out there? Would white bulbs be brighter?
Did they produce tunnel insulation in multiple colors for the 4 man trucks? I feel like I’ve seen black and tan, in addition to the typical green. I found one tan piece on eBay but I don’t recognize the pattern.
I guess someone could have painted them, but did any come that way from AM...
So I got everything hooked up and running tonight. This Orion unit has a variable output, instructions say max is 15v, but my harbor freight volt meter says 16+v.
I think the window motors would do fine on 15-16v but would a radio/stereo tolerate it?
I’m curious - how difficult is it to remove and replace the windshield and gasket? Do they get fused in there? I’m debating removing my windshields for painting rather than taping them off. And I’ll replace the gaskets because they are covered in old paint too.
I have a good set of paired 24 bolt rims with the old tires and run flats. I’m not sure if I’d want to separate and be left with only 3, but can I ask what you paid per wheel?
