Beagle Chariot is almost done!
Beagle Chariot is almost done!
I finished it off in the Expedition Fashion that was my original intent when I got it. I still have to wire some of the lights up and do a few other electricl things.
BIG thanks to Poser for keeping my nose in the FSM and avoiding costly mistakes.
Thanks to the rest of the Mud Members as well.
Dave-T for assisting with the Engine removal.
65SWB45 & Mark W for the technical assistance with the engine rebuild.
OrangeFJ45 for the tips on the OME 3.5 Uber Heavy duty Lift install.
Cruiserdrew & Mace for measurements and Tech assistance.
And my wife who puts up with the Cruiser Farm and lends a hand when ever asked.

Very nice, Dan. That's pretty much what I'm going for too.
What the web address of the tent? Can't quite make it out... Any pix of the tent up?

It blocks the light pretty darn bad. I bought the rear bumper assy from a Mud member and never thought to measure for the lights before buying it.
It does have cut outs for lights in the bumper and 40 lights won't work. It's on my list of things to do.

Those are 33x10.5x15's. I have the wear out the BFG AT before I can put the 35x9.5x15's BFG MT's on.
If the stars are aligned for S-n-T, my wife will be driving this with two Beagles and I will be rolling in my 40 with one Beagle.

Your rack is on my other 60. The second generation Mobassa did not line up and it was really wide.
I still have your straps in my truck. I have not forgotten. i jsut keep forgetting to drop them off when I'm in your neighborhood.

no worries, whenever you get here is cool. I may be able to make a short appearance at SnT, so maybe then, but I'm in no real hurry...
wish I had an "other 60"

The OME 3.5" Ultra Heavy Duty pack.
My neighbor drove it yesterday and said it rides nicer than his Sequoia.

The top two or the bottom two will be swapped out for the military water cans, when I find some.
Right now I use the fuel cans as fuel cans. In the Valley you will pay around $3.09 per gallon for 87 octane. In the mountains you can pay $3.70 an up per gallon for 87 octane. If you go for a three day wheeling trip in the mountians, I tend to need the fuel.
