Also planning to replace all the break hoses, calipers and rotors with upgraded coated slotted rotors and upgraded pads with reman calipers coated for corrosion prevention. We are moving East again and preparing for the salt I hope to escape as much as from.

Also replacing all the shocks and steering components, ball joints and joints with new. It’s taking me forever and I have had to overcome some challenges I had not anticipated but I am slowly getting it all done. I strongly recommend any one who does their own work purchase a tool to keep in...

Well the truck is getting a complete going through and refresh with several updates and upgrades as well. Been very difficult and slow progress but it’s all going to be worth it in the end. 70,000 Kms on the hub kit and they were due for a repack by my standards but no wearing was visible. I...

Well we got it in on Saturday and within 45 mins or so if run time the engine temp was up to 80deg. We were fortunate that the fuel tank had an extra fuel draw, which I suspect was for a FM1 shelter as some point. The Espar check valve also made it much easier to complete. About 6 hours...

I will be helping a friend this weekend install an Espar D5 heater in his truck. I tried to search online to find some helpful information but was surprised to find very little. I thought I would create my own record to assist others in the future if needed. After review of the Espar...

Thanks for the input. IR lights look like they are all still present but not sure. Not really a requirement. What fuction is the push button for the winch? Is it an override? I have not had a chance to play with it yet.

Well I am trying to figure out what the switch above the black out drive light selector is and the push button up and too the right is for. Not sure if these are for the winch or not, still trying to figure everything out.

Looks awesome Mark. It must be nice to be at this stage so early for the season to use it although is more 4 season than anything else I have seen out there. Your fit an finish as always is top notch.

Left the military about 2 years ago for a job in Saskatoon. Keep up the awesome work as always. I will be following this build.

I thought I recognized the fab work. Then I saw the name. Awesome work Mark as always may need to touch base with again and maybe Rob too. May have a U1300L coming soon which will be in need of a camper conversion. I will be following the progress. Jay.

I should start a new thread for the wife's 2015 Rubicon unlimited and my new adventure vehicle a 2015 Can Am commander.

20k hitch below factory. Had to clearance the 5" exhaust a bit because it would rattle in reverse. . This was last trips average mileage while towing the M101a2. And how it sits now minus the light just added to rear to help when backing in the trailers at night.

Hub kit shortly after install with extra grease put on seals collecting dust. During one of the trips. .

I forgot that I broke the factory trailer hitch during one trip which resulted in another upgrade. I lost all faith in the "bumper bar" that call a hitch.

Long overdue update. Truck is now paid off and running like a top. Added spyntec locking hub kit with Warn premium hubs after the front u-joints packed it in. Other then this just oil changes and basic maint such as tires and batteries. 5 years now on my current setup and still going...
