    M101 3/4 Ton Expedition Trailer Build

    The sun was out today. Had a pretty nice day here, for a change, so I was finally able to start working on my trailer again. I decided a good warm up project would be something to hold my fuel and water cans on the front of the trailer. I like several different designs that are out there but...

    Heating up kiddie food while on the road?

    I have one of those or something close to it. I used it when I was driving trucks. It works well for heating up prepacked foods but if you use alum loaf pans then you can cook just about anything in one. I add just a bit of water to make some steam for prepacked foods. Just about any truck stop...

    Harbor Freight Tongue Boxes

    Does anyone have the true measurements for the Harbor Freight 2 3/4 and 2 1/4 cubic feet tongue boxes? I have a limited amount of space on the tongue of my trailer and I'm not sure if I have converted the measurements the website provides to the actual size. The measurements I have are as...

    Battery venting.

    Thanks, I did not think about the sealed vrs non sealed. In fact I was questioning the need for a optima type battery, many for the price, but now it makes more sense. Thanks much Robert Walker

    Battery venting.

    Are there any issues with venting the gases from batteries charging inside a tongue box? I want to design my system to be contained inside a waterproof box but I'm worried about the gases building up and/or explosion or fire risks. Thanks Robert Walker

    Drawer system build

    Hopefully when the temps warm up I will get started on mine. I also have to build a lid for my trailer sense it will be in the bed of the trailer. Where did you get the wood? I have checked Lowes and other places but cant find birch. Robert

    Drawer system build

    It is coming a long nicely. These look very close to what I'm planning on building. Do you have any idea what the weight is or will be when they are done? Are you going to use slinders or just slide them in and out. I have thought about doing both. Without the slinders you make the fit tight so...

    Cherokee XJ AW4 Woes

    I will look into the TCU. This is a junkyard trany that I put in about a yeat ago. My brother says it is way better than the one we took out, but to me there was no diffference. Just curious, but could a bad torque converter cause these problems. And the other question why is my speedo off 5...

    Cherokee XJ AW4 Woes

    I did warm it up this morning for about 15 mins and it seemed to shift better. I still don't understand the oil pressure spike when it wont shift. I sold my 04 Wrangler and bought the XJ. I like the roomit has and there is no way I'm paying 40 grand for JK. I'm building a expo type trailer and...

    Cherokee XJ AW4 Woes

    I never thought about that. I pretty sure the themostat is stuck open becasue it never get close to normal summer time temp range. I think it may have moved to the second mark after 15 mins of driving. I will have to look at that. Thanks again.

    Questions About Water Tanls

    This may have been talked about before, but I wanted to know what people are using for water storage and how they are mounted. I'm currently thinking about a 30 gallon RV type tank mounted inside the cargo box of my trailer. I have noticed that AT trailers have a water tank closer to the front...
