Busy day today - Truggy mods for Moab almost done.

[.40CalPatriot]

Well, more progress in spite of some wasted time - tried to pull a radiator from one of my parts XJ's - the Truggy's is weeping a little - wanted a spare just in case. When I removed the upper hose the fitting crushed (fawkin' plastic tanks! :flamemad: ).

Fitting tube is time consuming! Needed to fix the front part of the exo Led cut away for clearance of the full width front and 37's.

Before:

I had to cut the bent tube away and start over. Didn't have a bender so I had to angle/notch - but it matches the other tube behind the tire so it worked out fine. I had to relocate the support tube for the bumper ends too.

Red Comet Extinguishers hooked me up by getting my CO2 tank inspected and filled today - they put it ahead of some others so I wouldn't have to wait until Tuesday..... :thumbup:

Still to do:
-Paint the new tubes/welds
-Install the Riddler diff cover on the 44 (just like a Crane)
-Paint front axle
-Install CB/antenna
-Install stereo/speakers (just gotta have tunes.....)
-Install center console (custom one with cup holders! :thumbup
-Install the other storage box.
-Install new u-joints in spare front shafts and find a place to carry 'em.
-Fix hi-lift mounting bolts (stripped and need relocated)
-Collect all other spare parts and figure out how/where to carry 'em.
-Replace smashed trailer tail lights (don't ask..........)
-Get the oil changed in the Dodge and check the brakes
-Check bearings on the trailer hubs
-And then, and then, and then........

It all makes sense now. I was always wondering why there was missing tube up front! Looking good Troy!

The tube was missing because we tested the newly installed 44 last year at Area BFE in moab and had to do some emergency cutting/clearancing.Never got around to replacing the cut out tubing.

Yep, those were on it when Led traded me for it. They're a little too short and I still haven't taken the torn one off yet..... :looney:
