Your current project!

[MKH]

this is a project my dad (Philip-TX) and i have been working on for going on three years now; it is a 1959 Willys CJ-5. it has been sitting in a barn for 25+ years and we are doing a 100% original restoration on it. ill let the pictures do most of the talking


how she started



a few pictures from the middle of the project






and what sh looks like today, still needs a bit more work, but atleast it will drive.

That looks awesome! Shame it had been in a barn so long, but a good find for y'all! I need to get back on the cj project.

What is the purpose of the boxes?? To protect from the weather?

Same thoughts here

Weather and the elements but mostly the sun. I had found through a bunch of research that sun and heat kills more trail cameras than anything as well as turns the lenses and clear plastic flash protectors yellow.....killing the quality. My Moultrie I-40s and Stealth cameras lasted less than a year with direct sun. I bought some Scoutguards and built boxes like these to house them. When other folks were getting 1-3 years, I got almost 5 years and could still use them if I hadn't decided I wanted to up my picture quality and SD capacity capability.

I also like not having to look for a tree, use a strap that deteriorates quickly in full sun or breaks and I like being able to put my camera where I want to.



Almost forgot....it also helps keep the glare off the camera lens as well..

Even though it's had plenty of smoke run through it, I'm still tinkering with the fridge smoker. Haven't got around to making the cooking grates yet. I have been able to tinker with and tune the control box enough for a +/- 1 degree temp variance so when I set it to 225 and it will stay within 224 and 226. I'm using a mechanical relay now. When I replace with a solid state relay, I can get tighter temp control. There is a more complete thread in the DIY section.

I have the entire front of my house tore apart, redoing the front elevation, also have my pool gutted, my wife is ready to kill me for starting this project this time of year, I have my own company to do the pool but we are so busy I can't break crews loose to do my work. The pool will probably be finished around deer season lol.
