Agreed, but that's the way it came. I do plan on taking if off and "patinaing" it some way or another. If I could find an old beat up one I'd trade for it.
I'm not dead, but back from the dead, so to speak!
Apologies for the disappearance, life has been way, way busy over the last year. Bowfin Cruisers started as a hobby and grew pretty quickly. I bought out my long time business partner in my...
In the meantime, I have been very busy juggling three different construction projects simultaneously. In yet another amazing piece of karma, the time and energy that remain for running Mark’s Off Road now seems to be perfectly matched to the...
Kaleidoscopes
One of my favorite sayings is that we are all broken, beautifully broken, like the bits of broken glass in a kaleidoscope. All of the experiences we have had that 'broke' us, and the time we spent, and the way in which we put...
When I got this cruiser it had a homemade aux tank in it, but it wasn't functioning. I finally got around to cleaning it up and getting it working. Here are some pics of it.
It does make sense to me to have the switch in the on position otherwise it's not getting any signal at all. This is my 5th cruiser with a DD and I've had pretty good luck with them thus far.
I think that is a good solution you can easily work with. Most of the time the odometer is a better estimate of fuel range IMHO. Tank size and gallons per hour type of reckoning.
I played around with it today and figured it out. I do have both sending units with the same ohms and they are both grounded together with the ground going to the DD brain as I call it. What I've found is that the switch must be in either on...
Has anyone hooked up a Dakota Digital cluster with 2 fuel tanks. I'm trying to do it with a DPDT switch, but I keep getting a EEE fuel error on the display. I've followed Downey's general directions on how to wire it up and the plumbing, but it...
1964 FST with the original engine, 3 speed tranny/tcase, Fairey OD, original seats in great shape, front disc brakes, Toyota PS, HFS springs with shackles reversed, Detroit locker in rear, and new metal rear quarters and sill installed. This 40...
We'll know very soon if it gets through Colorado emissions but the carb eo process for the Cali people is going to take a while. All EGR remains intact, all monitors are in a ready state
Got a few things done this weekend. My trans was a little noisy when I started really driving this thing. Was getting progressively worse. When I first drained it 2 years ago it was the color of a cup of coffee with too much creamer. I gambled...
Finally got around to swapping my 39.5 boggers from 6 lug rims to 8 lug!! What a pain in the ass to manually swap these!! Big tire irons and my big 16 year old helped( he is 6’3”!!) we got it done, and a new attitude!!! Reminds me of the old...
Looks like an original due to the outside lip. All of the repops that I have seen don’t have that lip or the letters aren’t exactly correct.
I saw that 45 for sale and I’m stoked someone here ended up with it!
