Finally used my bobtail with a a big boy trailer, just moved it around my in-laws business to a better spot where they use it for storage. Now I need to finish my CDL so I can haul on the road.
I've passed all written tests I just haven't had Time to schedule road test.

Make sure they will let you test using your tractor before you show up and they give you the run around.

From my personal thread

Well got home from Interop in Vegas and dove in and busted out a couple of tasks on the 925! Whew! I'm beat...

Installed an EGT probe and mounted the LED readout panel to the shift tower (still need to make an angled dash mount for it Like the one Those Military Guys offer for a cleaner look down the road)

Mounted a 24v stereo and was able to find a couple of plastic housings that worked when cut down and they screwed right into bottom lip of the dash.
Also wired in a manual backup/override light switch to go along with the Reverse gear sending unit I installed (FYI...it's the same thing as an M35 brake light switch!). I did the manual switch so it allows me to turn on the backup lights without the truck running or being in reverse or it allows me to turn off the backup lights when in reverse for those times you don't want bright lights (Example for when in "camp" and don't need to light up other people's tents lol)

Also mounted an Antenna that I will be able to use with a CB

Oh and I did pick up a couple of the diff fill plugs and got those rounded out ones replaced along with completing a full Oil & Filter service (Engine, Trans, TC, Diffs & Hyd system) Sure am glad I have an AITA membership as it saved me huge $$ at Napa for the filters & Oils! I also installed a Fumoto Drain valve in the engine oil pan to make future services less messy and easier!

I do have to say it's amazing how much faster it to do some of these things on the 925 after having learned tricks and such from doing them on the 923! lol

After patiently waiting to find a good buy on a 1" impact tool I found one that was regularly priced at 800.00 for only 125.00 name brand to boot. Talk about a deal, tested it and wow if you could only see my grin. My green beast is 23 lbs heavier but I'm sure she can handle it.

Is it OK to tell us the brand name?

Oops sorry CLECO made in the USA

Put on a 5" stack I got for $20 on Craigslist using my original tailpipe as the lower extension after i cut off its bend. Louder than i anticipated but i love it. Sounds great and I've noticed the truck is running better.

Also my horn button wouldn't work there's a short somewhere in the column I've melted 2 buttons. So I lengthened the wire that attaches to bottom of column and a ground wire to a momentary switch, mounted it to driver window frame and added a pull cord. Works perfect now.

Destroyed some wasp nest in the cab - air intake - where ever them little buggers decided to built is where they did.
The elec winch stopped working so that was removed (used for spare tire). Finished removal of all the ctis crapola off the tandems - lit up the Onan Microlite Generator and exercised with by turning the AC on in the box on HIGH - looking for some beef to hang to freeze in there now.

Pressure washed out the cab. Will get back onto some things I have been hoping to get onto and really no big rush to get them done - I do have to replace that drivers side windshield glass pretty so. Broke it last year swatting wasps.

From my build thread. Please be gentle, remember I am a genius when it comes to electronics and weapons. Fabricating isn't my strong point. Also, this is my first time mig welding (flux core). I've stick welded in the past, just not great. I'm getting better, just not where I'd like to be on a project like this, especially when a 10 lb roll of flux core varies between 65 to 85 bucks based on where you get it.

The beginning of the video I didn't realize the wife started recording and we were messing with each other.

Got a lot done the past couple days.

Seats installed.

Dash is almost complete, just need to smooth out the welds but it's starting to look snazzy.

Back wall is back on, just need to finish stripping the lacquer off and repaint. Also need to fill the rust holes. That is fun given the thin sheet metal.

Pics and a small video.

Looks all good to me; nice work.

Those seats are a nice custom feature.

 

[ke5eua]

I'm happy I've been able to get out and work on it. The VA doc might just have gotten the right mix of meds

As far as the seat, fits perfect. Going to make some cross brackets to hold all my radios and stuff, or just for shelves to go above the radios and inverter.

I've got plans and ideas, just glad it's all coming together finally.

Looks all good to me; nice work.

with my spare tire off, I found a lube point I had never done before. It is a pivot for the transfer case linkage on a m939
