    My 2004 Grandby project/ travel thread

    The LED floods are overkill for camping for sure (and rude depending on where you are camping HA), but the camper will be mostly used at the track and the lights will be awesome for hanging out in the paddock at night or working on a car after the sun goes down. I have screws loose all over the...

    I just realized how blurry all my pictures are, they look fine in a small format like a phone. Wow, time to get a new phone!

    They were really easy to put back in, I washed them on cold and let them air-dry though. I am going to start replacing all the sheetmetal screws for the top clamps with rivnuts and machine screws, the idea of screwing those sheet metal screws into that soft thin aluminum just seems really...

    Pulled the truck/ camper into the shop to replace the rear halogen work lights with some LED units and to do some cleaning. Washed all the cushion covers I really like the way the camper looks on my Ford, its very tidy and utilitarian looking.

    Thanks, The roof ended up being the least of my concern, the angle of the picture in the ad made the roof look a lot more wrinkled than it actually was. What he failed to tell me (he said he never noticed it and was selling it for a freind) was the right rear jack had been torn off and shoddily...

    Home made truck camper jack bracket extensions for dually, fit older reico jacks $90

    I have a pair of jack bracket extensions I made to clear dually fenders for older reico bottom mount style jacks. I only had weight on these one time as I sold the truck camper they were installed on. I had them bent in a metal brake and I fully welded the seams where the metal meets. They have...

    My girlfriend runs a 1990 BMW 325is in HPDE with NASA right now but she is doing the comp school with SCCA in the spring to progress towards her comp license. Not sure where we will go from there, perhaps a spec miata in the future or run a spec E30 with NASA. Whatever path she goes down I plan...

    I've spent most of the week(nights) this week repairing the right rear jack mount which is solid now and cleaning the interior. I plan on tearing the linoleum flooring out since it is peeling at the corners and replacing it with some other peel and stick tiles or click together laminate. Overall...

    Thanks guys, I'm excited to put it to use. Had to fix the right rear jack bracket, looks like someone tore it off at some point in the campers life. Simple fix.
