One of the Goodyear tires I bought for my fmtv has crusty over spray on both sides that looks like it was near a vehicle that was being painted with CARC. Now it's covered with a crusty coating of it on both sides. Or at least that's what it looks like. What would be a good way to clean that...
I've been building the trumpeter m1083 model over the last year and a half. It's a pretty detailed model except for they royally screwed up the interior. They made the center of way too narrow and the footwell's way too big. If you are making this model I have designed a correctly dimensioned...
Had to clean out my Homebrew cabinet to move it a bit. Forgot about my massive German beer can collection! Eat your heart out @Guyfang ! There's about three times this many in the box, all different!
This was in my electrical repair trailer in the electrical box above the bus bars and breakers. what is it and what does it do? I'm trying to figure out if I should keep it for my shelter build. It will have a thousand watt solar system on the roof 4 series 2 parallel to a 24 volt battery...
I saw this on GP, and I wish I could buy it but I have neither the money nor the storage space!

Here's how it would fit on...
I've been tinkering with more ideas for a front brush guard what do you think? Some Baja Designs lights also.
lower edge mounted to where the cab tilt hinge mounts. Would do a custom grill.
I was wondering if there was a good use for the tire tread of a blown out military tire such as a good year MV/T. I figured if the sidewalls were cut off and it was cut and stretched out, you would have a strip about 11 ft long. That could be used as a traction mat, as a tree saver, as a...
While changing the blown out tire I noticed my wheel is a bit rusty and a bit rough looking. Is it recommended to paint it or to powder coat it? What kind of media blasting or stripping should be done first? Walnut shell, sand, etc...
And if one was like that I figured more would be. I was...
This is the 1981 m813 my buddy and I are working on so he can move it to Montana. I'm not exactly sure which motor this is and I need to buy some radiator hoses so if any of y'all can identify it and also if anybody has cooling system parts for sale. I'm not exactly near this truck and I...
Well today started awesome with working in the truck from the beach:
And ended with getting a blowout about a mile from home and having to pull into some parking lot to fix it!
I just went around a corner at a slow speed and then I heard this hissing and slapping sound and I thought the hose...
There's an m295 van trailer for sale on Gov planet in Colorado Springs. I had a thought for a trailer like this and I almost wish this was the kind that I had found but it's too far for me. You take this kind of van trailer, you can either leave one side fixed closed, or both sides to open as...
Even the interior is green and yellow!

I've never heard of this technique before but I'm a fan of this YouTube channel project farm. I highly suggest watching them especially before you consider buying it any kind of new tool. Using a cheap welder he successfully restored several batteries some of them to near new condition. Maybe...
