Hmmm...well, guess that's an answer, of a sort. So, I've gotten a Tekonsha P3 controller and I'll be wiring it up. Any issues I find, I'll post them up here. I've got a 12' dump trailer that I need to haul, more or less weekly. Doing it with the FG would be much better than doing it with the...

I might have to take a second look at that, then. But aren't the models always with the cabover style bed?

Hmmm...wonder if that's one of my old trucks. If it has a 406 or 404.0 cab with a hydro steering....

:coffeedrink: Still a great looking truck, though.

I've spoken with them a couple of times. Absolutely no plans to do another one, especially since they're doing so well with their standard lineup. From what I understand, the one unit they did for the FG was done during a slow period for them.

Open windows are about the only way to deal with it...or have a bivy inside. I used an RV2 during the mudpocalypse at OvEx recently. It kept the rain out just fine, no leaks, but it was almost raining inside at night from condensation. It's a tight tent. Ventilation will be your friend.

If you do get those, or find out more about them, please post up. Years ago when I had my last mog, I had Isri seats in it, sourced from a bus. Awesome seats! Paid $35 or so, bought new they're really expensive. But terrific seats. No leather option available either, from what I remember.

Now THAT'S a list! Cracked rib?

See? If you would have shown up while I had that case of beer, we would have figured out how to solve all the questions that might ever arise, inexperience notwithstanding. But nooooooooooooooooo you were probably hanging out with the ne'er-do-well moggers, right? :sombrero:

It's time to put one in, the flatbed needs more work. It'll be a mid size dump trailer, but the truck is light enough that it'll be a good thing to have brakes on the trailer. The questions is - what controller? From what I'm seeing on other sites and reviews, the Tekonsha P3 is highly...

Fun day trip out to Fish Creek Wash, this is the beginning of the wash at Split Mountain.

Look up nationalseating.com, and it's the model 97 seat base. Looking over past thread posts, about $290USD

A bit hacked to get it in, but yeah that's one of them. 3" of travel (only), but it's nice to be able to dial in anything from no travel to full travel, depending on what kind of a surface you're on.

I look forward to seeing your elevator design at the next OvEx, if not sooner :D

You mean a seat base like this with a dampener? About 4 bills would get you a new one. Not that pricy.

But why? :D

Heh, no worries, I'm a noob too. In a way, yah, I guess you're "locking" the transfer case when you hit the switch. Most folks will say "engaging" the t-case though. Most of the time when folks mention "locking" in regards to gear cases, they'll be referring to locking differentials. Which...

???? You're talking earlier model than 2011 or so, right? Please say so :D ALSO: In doing the interior tear down, I noticed that the locking nut on my parking brake lever cable was spinning loose. No issues, bit of locktite and tightened it up. However, I was doing a search online and came...

Very interested to hear a report on the difference!

It's a personal thing....or maybe not (age related, and I'm nowhere near as limber as I used to be), but there's no way I'd go for one of the short height doors. If, for some reason we just had to go that route, I'd have to buy a couple of bump hats. I did ask if it would be possible to do a...
