bushnut Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) after finishing all the mods I had planned on my truck, and reading what you've done to yours, I've figure what we've done to ours is how it should have come stock. 11in clearance at the front diff, steel skid plate, 31x15 tires, and maybe some better recovery points, now it's the way it should have been.

lerch641 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Your Pathy is looking great with your new tires, how's your swing out hitch coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Been so busy at work lately, working some weekends and long days too, we're hosting an international AFV gunnery competition and it's just been nuts. Plus tons of tree cutting in the old yard, haven't had any chance to get anything else done to it yet. I'm planning on picking up 2 army style Jerry's tho as my jeep style ones don't fit the "army" holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerch641 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Is there a Princess Auto in Freddy? They usually have the old metal jerry cans for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 There is in Saint John. They sell the plastic and the metal but they cost $60+ I found some used ones online though for much less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Got a metal with a spout OEM vintage US army jerry and one Canadian sceptor one. From a second hand store. Didn't ask where he got it from. It didn't have the red lid lanyard the princess auto ones come with. Looked just like our CAF ones. Either way, paid 60 for both. Also bought a ghetto home made trailer for hauling wood around in my backyard mini forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01Pathmaker Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Man your ride is looking good, and serving you well I see! Love to see unlikely vehicles earning their keep. Love the plate, bolted mine under my 01 today (no pics though). Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaintbucket Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Looking better and better every time! I see you decided to put your jerry can on the roof. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yeah that's the chainsaw mix along with the bar and chain oil. Wanna keep any smell or leaks outside instead of soaked in the carpet. Plus, LCF!!! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Next on my project list is to make my trailer as capable as the truck. Which BTW I am very impressed with. Hauled full loads of hardwood uphill off-road and it never even seemed to struggle. However under that load the trailer tires look like they are about to explode, especially going over all the stumps and debris and rocks etc. so the plan is to upgrade the axle and bolt pattern and use my old OEM wheels that are wrapped in 30" Goodyear Territory's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDN_S4 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Tried to fit the "new" wheels on the trailer. Will need some more modification to fit. But when it does, it will be sweet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Will be sweet indeed! Where'd you score those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Kijiji $20 a pop for 5 steelies with pretty worn down DC mud Country. They are made in USA brand name steelies just cant recall the name right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sweet! That's the Canadian craigslist, right? Nice score! Looks like they'll be fine for trailer use even though they're worn, pick out the best 2 and you've got 3 spares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Did some work on the spare tire carrier, but ran into my limitations of tools accessible to me. I need a plasma cutter to make some other adjustments. The trailer has hit a dead end as I will need either 100$ spacers or a $200 axle to make the new wheels fit. So I think il just run this one into te ground and keep the rims for my next project. Did some rust fighting and painted the calipers black instead of bright orange, i.e. Rusty. Bought a smittybilt seat cover with all kinds of pouches. Pics tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
