rubinscube replied to rubinscube's topic in General Discussion
excellent advice, thanks. -
So now I come to the point where I need to think of where to put our geological and fossil dig supplies. I have a few full size shovels, a 42" gold prospecting sluice, two 10gl portable water tanks,and various other supplies. From previous posts by members, I see that the back is to weak for mounting anything. I have seen these as a potential: http://www.etrailer.com/Specialty-Trailer-Hitches/Curt/13703.html?feed=pn But I would like input from other members please.

as a retired truck driver my experience with air bags has been thorough enough to say I do not like them. they leak, and usually when you are far from civilization. I prefer reliability over comfort, so stiff springs and a hurt rear-end to me is more preferable. since the previous owner unfortunately welded the air bag brackets in place, my options are becoming expensive. I wish I could just find some helper leaf springs and be done with it.

AHRGG!! I have checked my air bags and the mounts are welded on! this is the last straw. I have scheduled an appointment with a local suspension shop that is going to install a new and better leaf spring with a rough country shock set design for our trips to geological and fossil sites(dirt roads with rocks). no air bags for me ever, even if it costs me my kidneys

thanks for the advice -
after 8+ hours of searching for alternatives to air bags,plus great advice from forum members , I have contacted a manufacture of a super sumo spring that really is an air bag with no air. in a couple of weeks, after I send some images and specs, I will hopefully have a "leak-free" solution. http://www.supersprings.com/sumosprings_rear_overview_trucks-vans.asp what makes them nice is that I can use the existing air bag mounts because they just slide right in with a few bolts to hold em in place. (I don't own a saws-all)

I was wondering how much you paid to have your air bags installed? I think I may need new ones and don't have acce

OK, the title sounds bad, but I would like to restore our 1981 huntsman shower and would like some reference photos. any images would be greatly appreciated.

So we brought home the 1981 huntsman with manual transmission and my legs are just about numb. I have pushed the seat as far back as it can go, but I need another 4 inches. has anyone re-positioned the seat back further?

Thanks for all the tips I am going to use them all.

So tomorrow I am getting my 1981 Toyota huntsman. Since we live in Colorado, I have no wish to to get stuck somewhere due to a cracked radiator hose or other issue. I would like to know what you take on those trips that are far from civilization and an auto parts store. So far I have duct tape and bailing wire.

Hot water heater alternatives?
rubinscube replied to rubinscube's topic in Coach ApplianceTech Issues
many thanks. I was looking at this one: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=6+gallon+propane+water+heater&hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=2381696296685055935&ei=6mM_TaOKEY60sAOhzJzVBQ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CGgQ8wIwAQ# -
Came across this site, you can find repair manuals for mostly any car. Go to this site: http://www.powerlibr...e.asp?ID=Monroe Enter barcode #: 02378001078755 A new page will come up, you should see a title saying "Auto Repair", click on the link underneath that, then click on "Auto Repair Reference Center" and follow the rest of the steps and there you go! You will have all the information you need. ENJOY!! Important: If you have a firewall or Norton turn it off or you wont be able to view the sight. Note: I don't know how long this is going to last but there is a ton of information, from lighting wiring diagrams, to fuel injection parts, numbers, and how to's that aren't answered in the forums.

Hot water heater alternatives?
rubinscube replied to rubinscube's topic in Coach ApplianceTech Issues

I am purchasing a 1981 toyota huntsman that does not have a water heater. would it be possible use an electric 115v mini water that they have at home depot? If not, what or where can I get one that would work? Thanks
