My submission: Eldorado Mud Claw Extreme M/T replacing 7.50-16 & split rims on this: ‘72 IH 1310 4x4. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I used what I had on hand: 2x3x.120, and some square section whose dimensions I don’t recall: The hinge came from 4xInnovations in a kit with hinge, tire mount, latch, & swing locks: I’m totally satisfied with the results: Fringe benefit is added camper security when the carrier is...

Thanks! We’re kind of stuck on those here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Next, it was time for a permanent fix for those broken-off corner angle rests. A few essential components from McMaster: Removal of the range for access to the DS mounting point (with surprise bonus!): A little cutting, drilling, and tapping later, and we have rests for the upper camper...

A few days later, I decided to test my new solar suitcase. First, I removed the valve core from my trailer spare and then refilled it with my compressor (the highest-amp load I could come up with): I did this two or three times. The result: After maybe an hour on the panel: I like...

A few days after I got back I got a nice surprise: Black Friday isn’t all, well— black. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Next trip to Wheaterville, Harry had the parts for jack extension brackets cut, ready to weld: After airing the rear tires down to clear the vents, I drove the last leg to deliver: 20 minutes later, the Buzzard has landed: Then I took some pix of Harry’s Terra project for their...

After five hours at 45 mph MAX, I made it to Wheatland: I thought this looked cool: An hour later, the blizzard started, and we hit the road south. Hard. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The next project was getting that camper from here to Wheatland where the IH was. First order of business had to do with this ratty little piece of steel: This is supposed to limit the downward travel of the upper camper section when it’s attached where it’s supposed to be on the back...

It’s October ‘20 at this point, and I decided I’d test the gas plumbing I’d relocated because the day was chilly, and I wanted bask in the heat of that furnace: After 15 or so minutes: Works for me, no more freezing my ass off. Stove worked nicely, too: Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yup, because if they were built to aerospace standards (read: quality), none of us could afford one.

I kind of let this go when life got in the way. Anyway, next project was replacing the flimsy worn out aluminum door hinges with some new stainless ones. I used 6’ of stainless piano hinge & #6 stainless screws from McMaster.

My UE Megaboom goes everywhere with me because it sounds great, is waterproof (within reason), and has surprisingly good battery life. When it craps out, I'll probably have to enter therapy. It's that important.

I mounted mine on the inside of an under-bed toolbox with stainless 1/4-20 bolts and Nyloc nuts. One on each side of the box.

There was an Alaskan CO for sale on the company classifieds some years back that was a "hobbyist special", comprised of only the lower section. The upper had blown off in high winds somewhere out here in the windy west.

I go to Propane Warehouse for parts like this. Good prices & selection. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m planning on running a ground cable from the threaded stud on the truck battery directly to the negative post on the camper battery bank through a military-type terminal clamp. Might as well go right from the source. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Go to remybattery.com. That’s where I got my group 31 battery trays. Pretty stout, too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Inversion idea didn’t work, no advice here, so new fridge ordered. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
