Randell, I just put up for sale my 1985 Canadian Spec. LHD BJ70 that was properly imported through a registered importer many years ago by the original owner, that is currently located in CO. It is licensed, registered titled and insured in New Mexico. If you would like more information and...

I used A-1 Metal Stripping in Golden. John does nice work even though it is a bit spendy. I did not have them blast the axle or springs, I just did a quickie clean up on them to get ready for Moab. I am still contemplating changing the 5 lug spindles out for a 6 lug (Toyota) conversion. The...

The bead blasting was sort of spendy, around $325 said n done. That was for everything, after I took it apart. It was worth the effort to disassemble everything and blast it that way. I took it apart and as I did, put hardware and pieces into baggies or boxes and labeled them accordingly. My...

Thank you Mundo. It has been fun refinishing it. You're correct, these are heavy duty. I cut out of the rear frame spots to put in my tail lights and the steel chewed up drill bits as well as a hole saw bit. Crazy. Nice to know they are so solid though. I will have more progress to post after...

It looks like a great score as it is in pretty nice shape overall. The rust doesn't look awful either. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

100acre, I went with the Napa stock replacements for $30 each. I haven't had it out on the road but I believe that I replaced the very original shocks when I did my trailer refurb. It trailed wonderfully before, my guess is it will be at least the same or better. You can see them (sort of ) the...

I also went with the stock NAPA (Monroe) replacements. I believe the part number is 94038 if I recall correctly. Cost me $30/each a week ago today. Ross-

I mounted my battery box, attached my wire harness to my battery and we have light in the lid. It doesn't show well in a fully lit room but it is really handy to have in the middle of nowhere pitching camp. I will be adding my roof top tent lighting system (hopefully) after work today. Almost there!

Thanks 100acre! I appreciate the feedback. I did some work to it after work today and here it is. I re-installed my lid with struts I made previously, then attached the newly made tent pedestal with my brand new tent. I still need to finish a few things, but most of the tough stuff is done which...

I put more together over the weekend including wiring the lights and a Jetconnex flat 4 wire connector after seeing Kidmenn57's on his trailer build. I installed the new shocks and re-attached the e-brake which works extremely well. The wheels are a sight but I didn't want to do too much in...

Very nice work. When you did the spring over, did you retain the e-brake? How did you end up doing that to make it work? How much lift/change did you get from that? Thanks. Ross-

Here is after powder coat and with some assembly started. I went with a gray mild textured powder over a zinc rich primer. The bolt on parts were all powder coated a high endurance black semi-gloss. I took all of my hardware to my local plating shop to have the old stuff stripped off and then...

I got everything back from bead blast and it turned out pretty well. I proceeded to cut out the floor to replace with tread plate. I had to remove the frame which took some doing as the M100 frames are spot welded (seemingly) every 1-2" together, and stitch welded as well. I took that apart, and...

Here are a few photos of my M100 as I took it apart and readied it for bead blast. I used quite a little bit of PB Blaster a few days ahead of trying to take apart 62 year old hardware. I tried to document where everything went as I took it apart, putting the hardware into zip lock bags with...

When ordering your Jet Connex cable for your M416, did you order directly from the Jet Connex website? What length did you order? I need to order a 4 pin flat model (both ends) and was wondering what exactly the Jet Connex cable came with when ordered. Thank you. Ross-

Good stuff, I will post progress on my M100 build. Thank you sooooo much or the insight and information!! Ross-

I will look into that red filter are speaking of. Best I can tell it might comprise of a cover for the LED light bar I provide. Give me a bit to figure something out to offer. I will work on it, give me some time. Thanks for your interest and input!! Ross-

Got it, thanks for the info. When welding in the new bed floor, did you weld to the frame and the bed or just the bed? Stitch weld or seam the whole length? Did you seal it otherwise?Thanks! I have a 1952 M100 that I am getting ready to tear into to soon. I want to replace the bed floor while...

Did you end up lengthening the tongue or did you leave it alone? It appears to be stock but I thought that I would ask. Thanks.

Frank, I would like to answer any questions you may have regarding other specifics of the system I have designed and manufactured in my garage. It is super simple to install, and very effective overall as clearly shown in the photos. I have this in a kit form that I have put together after...
