Yeah labor is very expensive. My bother does auto body but said would cost about the same. Hopefully you can get your back up and running only advice I have is to get way more paint then you think you will need.

Is this a towlow or a Hilo that you’re looking at? The tow low like I have does not have a motor but only has a manual crank on them. There is a Facebook group for Hilo and they would know more about those than I would. They are very similar but the Hilo had motors and not tolows.

@@BackyardGarage1 1997 Hi Lo 240D

This one has a motor on it. The guy connect power to it this morning. We could here the motor but it would not lift the top at all. I read some where online it has a manual back up, but we don't know where it's located.

@@lefty5463 try to search for “how to use the Hilo raise bypass” on RUclips. I don’t know what your setup is exactly but there were some videos I saw.

@@BackyardGarage1 Ok i will look again. I didn't see any video's how to raise bypass HiLo. Maybe i didn't type it in right. I don't know how much longer this dealer will have it, he just got it in this month. He claims he has about $1,350.00 in it. It could be other people looking at it also. Time is running out.

Extremely happy! We love it.

Thank you so much!

Hi there. This kit came with pretty much everything needed to require the whole car minus the AC wiring. There was no additional research that needed to be done and I am more than happy with what came in the kit. The only other thing I got was the wire looms and crimping tools as specified and that was it.

It came with the kit but I think you can get them at speedway motors

Thank you! 🙏

I’ll do that next time. Thanks for the advice 🙏

Because it was just as easy to do this

Thanks!

I ended up putting in a rubber strip. It’s a soft rubber.

Here is a video I made for my Facebook group for tow low campers on ho I sealed the upper to the lower. facebook.com/share/v/G4cVaLyyFmagdGpA/?mibextid=K35XfP

If you find the group Ratclif Tow Low campers on Facebook, I have a video on there under the photos and I show what I used. It’s a garage door seal for wooden garage doors.

@@BackyardGarage1 Thanks, man. Great idea!

Right! I got a new one. Worth the extra $50 more it cost

Great advice

Thank you so much for the view and kind words!

I hope so as well! I know mine was day and night difference

I tell yah, if I knew then what I do now it would have been a lot easier. Especially loading it onto the trailer

Wonderful! Glad they come in handy

Yep pretty sad nothing is made in USA unless you have big bucks

I believe I only had 12ga wire for both. Which would be fine as the fuse for the system was only 10amp and a 14ga wire would support this system just fine. But with your radio, it should specify the minimum gauge needed in the manual and they can generally be found online if you don’t have the printed copy. I just don’t want to tell you to use something and then it be wrong and catch on fire.

I am not sure to be honest. I think it was

We love it! It’s a lot of fun! The AC was a really good addition for is

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

I honestly cannot remember

Was it for a 383 stroker motor

I believe it’s the gap in the piston rings. There needs to be a certain gap when the rings are in the cylinder. Measuring the piston ring gap is crucial for several reasons: 1. **Thermal Expansion**: Piston rings expand when they heat up during engine operation. If the gap is too small, the rings can expand to the point where their ends butt together, causing them to seize in the cylinder, which can lead to severe engine damage. 2. **Sealing Efficiency**: The gap affects the ability of the rings to seal the combustion chamber. A gap that's too large can lead to blow-by, where combustion gases escape past the rings into the crankcase, reducing engine efficiency and power. 3. **Oil Control**: Proper ring gap helps maintain the correct amount of oil on the cylinder walls. A gap that's too wide can result in excessive oil consumption and increased emissions. 4. **Engine Longevity**: Correct ring gaps contribute to balanced wear patterns on the cylinder walls and rings, enhancing the engine's durability and performance over time. Ensuring the piston ring gap is within the specified tolerances is an essential step in engine assembly and maintenance, directly impacting the engine's performance and reliability.

If this is the first time, check out a book called “how to rebuild any automotive engine” tons of really great information in it

Thank you so much!

Yeah that’s my next step

Yep that’s correct. The trim hold it together

Thanks for watching!

The calk has held up great. It’s called seam sealer. It was by 3M. I don’t have the can anymore but it’s an automotive product that I picked up at the local auto store.

I would guess about 1/2 to 1” per side. It’s not perfectly straight. That is after the walls were put on. Some spots are like 1/4 where the window trim is.

It was a cheap eBay motors one. No clue on the brand and I can’t recall. I have comp cam lifters now and it’s running GOOOD

I have all intentions of buffing it. I just have not had a chance yet. Moved across the country and settling in here.

I disagree. You want the cover to close while not in use to keep the water out vs it falling open.

Thanks!

Thank you!

This was the px8

Lol I’m not hearing the piston enough to go through the aluminum and expand the pin… only enough to warm the molecules of the aluminum.

Thank you

Lots of work but a fraction of the cost!

Ended up being the cv joint

Just the knees

I spent years working on boats and instead of climbing out, I jumped which now is catching up to me.

Yeah I got it to work but I’m planning on going vintage air sometime. Not sure when but hopefully sooner than later as it hot here.

Yep… gotta make a buck when they can.

I hope I didn’t buy the parts for nothing some guy in a Altima group told me I need to buy plug and play parts others my fast blinking could be a resistance thing .. man I hope not ..

@@adriantam2573I hope it works for you!

@@adriantam2573did you replace the bulbs with LEDs? If so you might need a resistor as LEDs require more resistance to flash correctly.

@@BackyardGarage1 I still waiting for it to come from amazon.. this would suck lol
