    Tools for trip

    I had the same thing happen to me with a backpack I used when hiking. Flew in with it, but flying out TSA found a knife in one if the little pouches inside. Luckily I too had time to leave security and ship it home before my flight left. Was going camping one time and took a propane stove...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Had to replace a U joint on the CUCV. Picked up a vibration after plowing snow last week, though it was just the snow and ice built up in the wheels throwing them out of balance. After it warmed up and the snow melted it was still there, then clunked when I put it in gear. Parked it right away...

    Tools for trip

    The problem is that TSA is not consistent from one Airport to another. I have flown out with items in my bag, but was not allowed to fly back with the same items, and arguing with them does no good. On a one way trip it's no problem if they let you bring my, but sucks when you can't bring your...

    Tools for trip

    You will have to check any tools, they are not allowed in carry on luggage. Also, no oil, aerosols ( WD 40, brake clean, spray paint, etc. ), or flameables. Your checked bag can usually weigh up to 50 pounds, so you can carry quite a bit. Pick up the oil and stuff when you get there. A pair...

    Cup Holder Options

    made that from scraps, version 2 will have room for 2 cups, possibly a phone. Just wanted to see if my holes were big enough for a fast food cup but still hold a can or water bottle without it falling out. Still in the R&D phase

    Cup Holder Options

    CUCV has a nice bracket under the dash pad to mount radio gear. This is my first try, gonna make some modifications and see if I can mount it after the dash pad is back on.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Yeah, I have 2 Makitas also, one is probably 30 years old. It's just nice to have one with a cutoff wheel, one with a grinding wheel, and one with a flap disc, and possibly one with a wire brush, when fabbing something out of old metal, so I am not changing discs every few minutes.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I've had a few of those $9.99 grinders, not bad for the money. Had a couple burn up the motors, but they were used hard. One had the switch crap out, but I was able to salvage a switch from one with a bad motor. I see they have replaced them with a different one now, wonder how the new ones...

    Dam that's nice! Did anyone notice the Minnesota collector plates on the front? Snowbird?

    Got a 10 free flap disc sample pack (just paid $10 shipping) from Benchmark Abrasives yesterday, haven’t tried them yet, but their prices seem good. Arrive quick...

    Flaky CL MF ‘ers….

    My wife is one who always tries to make a deal. If the prics is fair and its something I want, I don't hagg!e. she gets mad at me, but I figure I'm happy with tne price and the seller is happy, so that's all that counts.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    On 110 volts its about 5/8", on 220 just under an inch. Doesn't cut as clean when near the max according to tnd reviews I read, but does great at a little thinner than max. I'll find out for sure in a couple of days. I think tne non HF has to dk with it striking the arc. I This machine is...

    Got an early Christmas present for myself, 20% off for black Friday. Came in yesterday, but have been too busy to try it out, hopefully this weekend.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Got the new fuel tank straps in and installed on the CUCV. Was going to drop the tank and clean it out, but it was too cold out and snow comin, so I just did the straps. I'll drop the tank when it warms up and clean it out and replace the hoses.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Put a reciever hitch on the CUCV a while ago, but the original pintle hitch was in the way and made it hard to connect to my small utility trailer. Finally decided to remove the pintle hitch since I don't use it anyways. Looked like a simple job, just 6 bolts, although they were kind of hard...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally finished swapping out the rectangular fuel filter for a spin on. Have to get the CUCV ready for winter, it's been sitting all summer. Removed the battery booster resistor (CUCV only item), it's not needed unless you want to use the NATO port to jump your truck, since I don't know...

    I need a bed for my 80, plus could use zome round eye front fenders, didn't know if they would have what I needed or what kind of prices they would bring, so I didn't go. (actually was afraid I would end up buying a bunch of stuff I didn't need)
