BRIANHO13's winter project.
- Thread starter Big Hank
- Start date
Stopped by Brian's house today...
From the passenger side.
D60 with full hydro. Tight fit for everything.
Hole in the floor for doubler.
Looking back at the yet to be complete fuel tank.
Shot from the rear.
Disk brake conversion on the 14BFF.
Brian is making his own exhaust. Here is the down pipe with the O2 sensor bung welded in.
Looking back.
External limits for the ram.
Another shot of the exhaust.
Another shot of the D60 truss work. You can also see the hydro valve up there.
This thing is coming together fast!
Still on the list...
T-case skid
Traction bar
Fuel lines
Bleed brakes and steering
Additional tubing for seats
Lengthen drive shaft
Test.
I'm betting it will be moving out of the garage by the end of the weekend.

fuel lines are done, as well as the drive shafts (and bolted in), she will be able to move on her own tomorrow.

Its about 1/2-1" too high and 1/2" to far back, but there is no binding so I am going to run it as is and see how it goes.
More progress this weekend...
My camera got a foggy lens for a bit, but you get the idea.
Seat mount bars.
Close up.
Rockers were cut out and replaced with 2x6x 1/4" wall steel and tied to the frame with these through the floor and round tubing to the cage.
A look at the tie-in brackets from below. They're sealed from the elements with "Great Stuff".
Ruff Stuff traction bar mount.
Seats are in.
Always liked the view "from behind".
Tubes connecting cage and rockers. Rockers are only 1" wider than stock width, just look wider.

Looks like she's doorless on a permanent basis! Are we going to see any fenders of any sort this weekend?

Looks real familiar. All the cool kids are going passenger drop.
Even more familiar because I spent last night completely gutting the inside of mine so I can finally finish my floor and front fenders.

Decisions, decisions. I'd go with a floor for now.

Given the forecast and recent weather conditions, I would go with floor also

Bah...last trip I was on a few weeks ago, it was 13 degrees air temp outside and about 2 degrees w/windchill.
I had no floor at all. But full doors and working heat sure make a difference.

Not sure why the pics are so bad but she can move turn and stop..... and crawl.

yup, i figured they are built out of the same material I would have used so I stayed with them. I have been running 37" boggers for 2 years and have beat the crap out of them, will be interesting to see if they hold up.
