A good heim joint will NOT make noise. Jump to QA1, Aurora, or FK. FK has the best selection of metric/stainless steel/Teflon lined joints, and you can order how tightly the ball fits into the socket. They are a wear item, even the good ones will go bad on a street car in 1-2 years. 4 good...

Electrical is DONE! We tested the plumbing this weekend and found a couple leaks with the uniseal fittings. They are now in place with silicone, so we'll retry this week when we have some time. All of the PEX fittings are good. Still need to try out the water heater, but the water lines...

The rears poke a little bit past the flares, the fronts are probably 1-2" beyond. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Yes, she sure did. Also, the tire blankets. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Honestly, I hope to never do this again. We don't have a lot of free time during the weekdays, and it's sucked up a bunch of weekends. For sure we're saving a bunch doing it ourselves, but it's been really time consuming. If I had the disposable cash, I'd just custo order a trailer with all...

No idea, I just installed it how it came out of the box lol. In the short run time I've had with it, the insulation exterior was at ambient temp while the bare copper portion was cold. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Got the water heater box brackets welded and mounted. The box is a sealed electrical housing that we are repurposing, and it will house a propane fired instant water heater for the shower and sink. The lines are plumbed to disconnects on the front of the trailer, so this should be ready for...

AC works! And most of the 120V system is installed. I'm doing 5 120V outlets - 1 on the front wall, and 2 on each side of the side walls. All 20A circuitry in case I need to hook up some high draw stuff while we're out. We've also made decent progress on the plumbing and front cabinet area...

I nuked a motor and I'm not out for the season. Get to it. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Slight detour. The 1500 was great with the previous 24' trailer. 9.5-10.5mpg and no real issues with sway with a good weight distribution hitch. With the 28 footer, not so much. Mileage was pretty much the same if I wasn't driving directly into the wind, but DAMN it's so much worse in cross...

Making some good progress on the bathroom and AC install. Walls are up, and it seems they'll hold the freshwater tanks just fine. I welded supports for the AC onto the tongue, and have it mostly together. My next big project is the 120V electrical but may wire up a plug to the ac unit to test...

Don't forget to check the tiny mesh filters at the injectors and HPFP. Those things degrade over time. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

They went from in my car to in the trash. New injectors went in and the car ran fine. I would venture to say debris because they have been gradual failures with the injector stuck open. Electronic failure wouldn't hold the valve open when a new injector fixed it. Sent from my SM-F916U using...

My failed injectors were ones that had been cleaned. My engine hasn't seen more than ~500 miles since the build, ALL are hard miles, just like yours. My car lives in boost and the high revs lol. They were my last stop both times because I couldn't believe they could be bad in this few of...

How long have you been using your current injectors? I've had 2 injectors fail in the last couple years. Starts with a light misfire, random pressure drops, and one was bad enough to leak after shutting it down (thought HPRV due to fuel pressure not climbing after shutdown). Sent from my...

Are you having any fueling issues or are you just concerned about how it looks? The outside of that HPFP piece doesn't do anything except sit there. What does the internal surface look like and what does the piston look like? Springs don't have infinite life, but I would check the rate of a...

Slow going... Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk

Back at it with the next chapter - shower and sink install. This one is just starting out and will take a few days of work to frame it all out and plumb everything. The shower pan is 32"x32", and is in the front left of the trailer. I welded together an aluminum frame for the adjoining wall...

Still in the car. No complaints. They've held up well. Sent from my SM-F916U using Tapatalk
