Cleaned the filter, pulled both lines off the compressor and let it run for a few minutes (minimal pressure coming out of the main line, could plug it with my thumb). Sprayed a little air tool oil in the intake side. Reconnected, pressure build to just over 30. Bled the tanks, right at 30. I'm...

Well, now I can't build over 40psi with the air system. No leaks, just won't build pressure. No kinks either. I did move the pop off valve on the tank.

Will know soon enough with the winch, Carnac is dropping off the shelter next weekend. Tanks are relocated, most of the new lines run. Also mounted the winch and its bracket. Yes, I cheated by using the crane to hold the tank for me. The winch mount goes between the frame and the fuel tank...

Bueler, bueler....

It does. There are 4 mounting surfaces with the mount I made. The tops on both frame rails, and the outsides of both rails. I'm curious about the weight on the shelter. All the info I'm finding is 2-3k pounds empty.

Waiting for the mount's paint to dry so started the air tank relocation. I have to move the tanks to make room for a later project. Can't stay there, can't go to the very back because of the rear winch, so they are getting tucked into the frame rails above the axle. Concerned about axle...

What about the late February dates?

Eh going for the later date anyways. Gives more time to get everything finished with the truck. So, Feb 27-Mar 1st. Who's joining?

Hahaha yea I haven't been paying attention to sports much for years. Timing always sucks lol. Might change the trip date. Would Feb 27-Mar 1st be better?

Thank you yes that helps. What size wipers are you able to run now?

Headed to there on the weekend of Feb 27-March 1st with a few friends if anyone is interested in joining. Planning to camp Friday and Saturday night, explore the trails on Saturday and Sunday. So far we have my deuce, a friends 79 Chevy 1 ton pickup, and a jeep cj headed out for sure.

Looks good. How did you modify the windshield wiper arms?

Mount complete, if all goes well it should be on by this weekend.

That is cool

Haha a little bit easier. I have a service truck with a bed crane at my disposal.

Works great!

Weather doesn't want to cooperate today so I'm just sitting here thinking. The bed will get a roller installed to make it easier to load and unload stuff with the winch. What I'm wondering is if the frame should get one as well.

And voilà, the bed is off! Went ahead and mocked up the winch mount. Figure with the bed off I'll go ahead and do what I can for other mods. Rear winch, trailer hitch, and relocate the air tanks in preparation for the second transmission.

Well the first 3 steps for removing the bed are complete. Mud flaps removed, bed unbolted, and the parking area organized so I have room to put the bed.

Does the winch make the bed flex?
