I currently have the donor trailer's stripped frame up for sale in the classifieds and a couple places on Facebook. I'll be posting it up for sale locally and if no takers there, then I'll haul it to the scrap yard before winter. Being perched on the M105 trailer makes it easy to take to the...
Went off-roading and camping with red. We tried to get more folks but it was no interest or bad timing for them.

An update:
Well, it hasn't stopped leaking, but it certainly is much, much reduced. I'm sick of working with it. It's reached my "disgust" meter. I don't know what else to do and don't know if I want to do more.
At least I can easily check it and keep topping it off.
When is Steel Soldiers going to store uploaded pictures in larger formats?
The desire to have pictures self-contained on the website so threads remain valid and pictures don't die on 3rd party hosting is working against itself when pictures are reduced to sizes smaller than computer...
My sleep setup:
Carpet on bed floor + cot + blanket padding + sleeping bag + another blanket + medical chest as a night stand + Mr. Heater = Super Cush! [thumbzup]
(Though the low ceiling height makes the back quickly tired of bending over)
On the road again!

We camped just on top of this next hill that had taller hills on either side. As red said, we didn't get much wind at all. Very little fire smoke in the face. :p

Good morning USA! The first picture is a view from unzipping the front cargo cover window:
Camp awesome, always...
Trip out to 5-mile pass. I-15 at Kaysville:
Leaving Eagle Mountain on the way to 5-mile pass (that is red's M816 wrecker in front):
On location:

It certainly was! I loved it. A bit tiring though not having true power steering (air-assist "only").
Honestly, I didn't really notice the gun ring weight, but the ground was completely dry and hard so that was nice. Certainly the front end is heavier but we didn't have much for off-camber...
I drove the deuce in 1st & low, which was a bit faster than the wrecker's rear winch power-out speed in 4th. I definitely couldn't move the wrecker while red was on the brakes! Surprisingly, even though on a loose gravel surface, I couldn't/didn't spin any tire (front axle was not engaged). I...
I took my truck off-roading at 5-mile pass with Red (click the link for action shots). The tires performed, as expected, very well for this slightly sandy/rocky but fairly firm terrain. It wasn't rock crawling at all, as I'm not out to damage my truck or mud bog it, but to off road, play, and...
Recently I was asked the question of how wide are the duals from out side of the tread to outside of the tread. Reminder, this is including my 1/4" spacer plate used on each side.
Answer: Almost exactly 93"
Final day notice:
Bumping this just in case someone sees it who's in the area and wants to go. No MV required, but encouraged! :)
Forecast is sunny this weekend! Lows in the 40's and highs in the 60-70's on Fri/Sat/Sun.
Cool! I've had some Rat Fink shirts in my day. Is this the final version or work in progress?
There appears to be an unfinished portion of the driver's side window by the mirror (it's still blank white), but it's covered by the rifle in the second picture collage.
I received my package from JAGMTE. It was very well packaged in separate padded pouches and then combined into one padded envelope.
I had a can with a shredded cap strap. I had to break the collar ring to get it off it was such a tight fit. In the picture below is a side by side comparison...
I already like that you just didn't cut it, but instead left it adjustable. More work for sure, but can always be restored if it doesn't give you enough pedal travel. Do you think that too little pedal travel is a possibility?
