Thanks for the great find and sharing.

With eco hubs speed is not an issue.

press Ser Drive then enter for head lights. Most of the time I have to press enter very hard and hold it and sometimes multiple times. Some times repeat the process. The enter button isn’t the most responsive. I did open it up and clean some green oxidation off but it didn’t seem to help.

I never call for that reason, I go there in person to order parts then go back typically the next day and pick them up. And even there in person parts guys are typically not the friendliest. I don’t think they like dealing with individuals as customers.

Mine came from Pensacola Fl where I think they used it in for high water rescue after hurricane Katrina. It had lots of surface rust and like previously stated Ospho is great then I used POR15. I did that 8 years ago and still looks great. Although to hide the dirt stains a good pressure washing...

How much did they quote you?

I would love to buy one just for parts. When an alternator can cost $2,500 and I could buy the whole vehicle for less. Just need to ship it to Florida.

When they sell for $1,000 it’s very tempting! What island are they on?

It was a little sketchy! 😂

Fiberglass would be the way to go but will take a lot of work. FYI ( for your information) I purchased one of these to measure the wind speed above the cab. I needed to know what it was before I committed to installing the mini splits out side unit on the front of the habitat above the cab...

What are you skinning the curved part with? Are you going to leave it accessible for storage?

Nice, always improving!

What’s the problem?

I’ve got that covered….. Just picked it up from the upholsterer with its new cover. So no one will know unless I want them to.

It’s all about a fun conversation!

Pneumatic actuators are excellent and clean. When I worked for the animated robotics company (Sally Corporation, in Jacksonville FL) all our characters were pneumatic and was always fun getting the speeds correct to match the type of movement. Disney uses hydraulics in all of there characters...

It’s currently at the upolsterer getting a cover made for it. Just in case someone is up above some how and can see it.

Air actuators are only 2 positions retracted or extended and can be too fast requiring restricted valving to slow it down. Plus I wanted it to just have a single 12 volt connection.

Sometimes you have to do something just for FUN!!! This was just that project. As we traveled people always ask where's the gun??? So I decided to make a remote controlled roof mounted MiniGun that shoots nerf bullets! Here is the final video I posted to youtube. There are earlier videos of the...

Been a while for an up date on this thread I've started a bunch of other threads on various aspects but this update was just a fun build!!!
