I bought a pair of these fold up steps. Wasn't sure what I was going to do with them. I didn't like the idea of drilling the bumper to mount them. While doing the other stuff today I took one out and started holding it up to see if I could use them. The bolt holes looked like they might line...

I put a set of mud flaps on today. I've also been trying to figure where and how to mount a license plate and light. I bought a Signal-stat 9365 combination light and bracket from a humvee parts place and paid way too much for it. I thought it was for a Hummer but it's just a generic mount...

I replaced the lights a couple of years ago. That that time I knew they needed more work. The tail light buckets and rear side marker light buckets are almost 30 years old and were cracked, worn and brittle. At the same time I also wanted to add reverse lights. The reflectors are also in bad...

Previous owner put a class 3 hitch on it and since I will probably never tow anything with it I wanted to put the pintle hitch back on. I removed the class 3 and when I went to mount the pintle I found the safety chain plate was bent up. It looks like it did its job. I'll have to find a...

Mounted the offset antenna base. I was missing a couple of parts and found them on epay. Touched up the paint and painted the bolts so it all blends in nicely.

Came across this today and thought everyone would enjoy ...

Today's project was a pretty simple one. I found the correct fire extinguisher mount for the seat upgrade I have. I've been looking for a fire extinguisher and checked the ones hanging up at my work. Turns out they were a direct fit. I looked them up online and bought one. It's a Amerex...

My registration number is NG4AZV, is there a way to find out more about this? Thanks for your replies.

Is that the same number as the number inside the footwell? I had asked about that number before and was told that NG was National Guard. Just curious if that would match the number on the tag?

With what little I know I'll add that I think the vehicle number is the NG2YK7 and If I am not mistaken the NG stands for National Guard. Should be painted on the inside front foot panel area.

I wanted to install a Vic-3 Lite and didn't want to go with high mount radio tray. So I took my tray and decided to remove the bottom and use it for the mount. I cut the mounts off at the bend and turned it around and placed it upright. Drilled a couple of new mounting holes and bolted it...

During the disassembly the rubber air duct fell out. After investigating it is obviously new and was just kind of stuffed up in cavity. Also a metal rod about 8" long fell out with it. It took me a few minutes but I figured out it was part of the rubber air duct. It's missing the 16 plastic...

I painted the back side first. Then cleaned off the old body sealer. I used a paintable sealer from the local hardware store. Then riveted it back together. I have a nice air "POP" rivet gun that's worth it's weight in gold. Found it on epay years ago. I happen to have a couple rivets...

In order to use the old fender as a drill template I cut off anything that wasn't flat. I used a cut off wheel on a grinder and it made quick work of it. Then I took the template and matched up vent mount holes and a couple of the predrilled rivet holes as best I could. Tightened the vent...

Moving on to the next project, the passenger side front fender has some minor damage. It could have been fixed with a little bondo but who wants that? So tonight I removing the fender. First I started drilling the rivets. Not as much fun as it sounds and takes a lot longer than you would...

I had to go back and reread my post because I didn't recall mentioning anything about suspension or ball joints. You can test what I said if you want, it will take a couple of strong guys. If you hold the brakes on and have some people rock your vehicle back and forth you will see what I was...

Here's the best comparison before and after I have. Ignore the red arrow.

Got the seals in today for the steering column and finished it. The install went pretty smooth. Turns out 2" shorter and moving the directional mount 1" is just about perfect. There is plenty of hand room around the wheel and pretty much has full travel up and down for adjustment. The horn...

I did the change with a kit and although you could make something yourself, the kit is designed to add reinforcements to the floor for the seat. It wasn't simple but it wasn't hard either.

Here's a rough example of a 12" narrowed look..
