Hi Cory, I haven't been on here for quite a while. I've been not feeling the best and beat up a tad. I haven't been able to work on my Sportster at all for 1½ years. But I did find out what the problem was with it. Definitely the lifts. Not sure if the winch is messed up ar not but definitely...

Allan, I am in the same situation dealing with it. I completely pulled mine out. It is Dutton-Lainson Brake Winch (not wench ha ha ha), a probably DLB800 but might be a 1200. I found a couple of places to find replacement. The 1st is at www.popupparts.com. The specific part is...

Cory, I'm not sure where it is. The guy I bought it from said, of course, that 3 of the lift posts were retracting before I got it.... of course. Then it locked up on him. That's why I got it so cheaply was he felt bad about it. Great man, super nice. We are now friends. I need to take the...

So, here's my 1st issue to deal with. I can't get the top down. I put WD-40 into the lift arms to no avail. Going to take the stove top off to access the gears. The tubing in pic 4 has a nut that screws onto winch to raise up and down. Found a copy of the manual and all its says is to reverse...

Here is my 2nd project. Fixing the floor. May just pull the whole floor and put a new one on it.

OK, finally able to attach pictures of my Sportster 7...

Finally figured out how to resize pictures. I added onto this post on how to do it. Pretty easy. https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/2374-how-to-post-photos/?p=252422

Cory, This is spooky! You're doing the exact same things that I intend on doing on mine!

Hi! I had problems to this exact problem. I "Googled" " how to reduce picture file size" and found this: https://www.wikihow.com/Resize-a-JPEG. EXCELLENT article. It gives 3 sites that a person can use which are: picresize.com resizeyourimage.com resizeimage.net I used picresize.com and its...

Perfect timing finding your page. I'm in process of getting my own 7 and should have full possession by the end of the weekend. Your information is really going to help me as the two of ours are very similar. Now I just have to figure out the dang picture issue! Ha Ha Ha Ha! GH

I'm having the same issue with loading pictures too. I can't reduce the size down enough to meet the 500 kb size

Awesome! Thanks Manfred & Cory! And yes, I am going to put in pink or blue foam board when it comes to that "lovely" task! Ha ha ha! Thanks for the lead on the Raptor Liner. I've used Harbor Freight bed liner to varying degrees of success. Guess it matters on the application. But there is zero...

Manfred65 You do not know how much your project is going to assist me! I came across this project via Pintrest, thank the gods. I recently, this week 4/5/21, purchased a 1990 Sportster 7 the Little Brother to your 8. I am going to need to do several project I have started my own project like...

I'm a newbie on this site and found it by happenstance. When I got out of the Army, I knew that I needed to "fluffy butt" camp. I have always liked pop-up's and since I got a boat, I knew that a slide-in was the only way to go. 3 weeks ago, 3/20/21, I was able to come across 1990 Jayco Sportster...

I just found your forum and am now following. I have just acquired a Sportster 7 and am going to do similar restoration. Looking forward to following your progress

THAT'S an All Terrain Vehicle!!!!

Hoo Rah! I'm a newbie too and like you I got tired of sleeping in or on a M113A2 or in my HMMVW. So, in otherwords, I can relate! :) :) :) :) :) :)
