    1966 Johnson Furnace M416 build - The Odyssey...or Homer for short.

    Plans... I've got them. And then they change a bit. Lovely bride found a new house a 2 weeks ago so any spare do-re-me $$$$$ is going into little projects to get current house ready to sell. Homer worked great this last weekend when pressed into U-Haul duty. Mark, you are right on...

    1966 Johnson Furnace M416 build - The Odyssey...or Homer for short.

    Homer gets a lift... for the top. Easy, boys. This was the one part I agonized over... and I think most of us do, because there are a ton of threads on here asking "how do I figure out how to mount the struts." First we mounted up the latches to the sides of the trailer, spaced out from the...

    1966 Johnson Furnace M416 build - The Odyssey...or Homer for short.

    Homer opens up!!!!! This has been a great project so far. I have learned a ton, and I have been very fortunate to be able to work with my good friend who has done most of the welding (and other work) and I have been doing the thinking and saying can't we do it this way! So... we had the...

    1966 Johnson Furnace M416 build - The Odyssey...or Homer for short.

    Homer gets a top... well, the start of one Thanks for the feedback guys. Sometimes things end up at a different spot because it's too good of a deal to pass up. The top has been bent- up out of a 16ga 5 x 6 sheet of galvaneal. It was on hand and reasonable... and as it is one sheet, no...

    NEED INFO - Awning mount on an OEM Tacoma roof rack - PICS

    As I am quite follically challenged and generally dislike the way I look in big hats... I have been researching possible mounting options for an awning to a factory Toyota roof rack on a +05 Tacoma. Certainly there are options to mount a full cage style rack (ala BajaRack) to the OEM rack...

    1966 Johnson Furnace M416 build - The Odyssey...or Homer for short.

    Question on material for the lid... What seems to be the consensus on gauge? I am looking at a 5x8 sheet of 16ga galvaneal that can be used as one continuous sheet. No seem on top or sides. Thoughts? Dr. P. thanks for the note. I should be just fine with 235 then. Stuff is starting...

    1966 Johnson Furnace M416 build - The Odyssey...or Homer for short.

    A few weeks ago, I was able to purchase a very solid original 1966 M416 manufactured in March of 1966 by Johnson Furnace Company. First day I saw it... Barn fresh you could say. Original tires with a 12-65 stamp on them. Lunette eye and handbrake intact and functional, as are the drain...

    Odd Whistling/Rumble Strip Sound When Driving?

    Question... do you have the OEM roof rack? I found that I hear the rook rack on the passenger side on the rare instance my wife drives my 09 DCSB. I do not hear the same noise on my side of the truck. Other than that, it here anything on the mirror itself that is loose?
