    Builds Fixing up “The big Ox”

    LOL, I'm pretty old but I had to look that up even, just a bit before my time. I'm surprised they don't have any history and past racers posted on their walls at HQ in Golden. Pretty small storefront there. I would really like to get behind the scenes and check the good stuff out some day.

    Yeti SB150. They are local to me so I went with them. If it has been a while since you've been on a bike, the full suspension bikes have come along a long way last 10 years or so. Unfortunately so has the price. So much fun once you get past the pain lol.

    I didn’t get many glamor shots with the fat pig but did get a lot sorted out. One high temp moment going up I-70 and ac shutdown I do need to look into. Otherwise got out and was able to play a bit.

    Finally testing the home brew kayak mount. Worked flawlessly. Need to work on a safety strap for the front just for the hell of it, clears the solar panel and everything else.One person operation. Hard to see in the picture but I can slide the entire kayak out and open up the panel. I had to...

    Had to throw things back together including the headliner and interior panels to get out and test some things. It's summer! time to get the fat pig out... Didn't get progress pictures but going to throw out a few notes on this quick trip so I can go back and change up a few things. Just got out...

    Going to throw the headliner back in for the summer as I bailed on the black out interior for now. Lined the lower rear interior with vinyl wrap to see how it holds up. Time to get back in this things and see what all goes wrong. Old insulation stripped and in with dynamat extreme. Dynoliner in...

    On to a rear bike mount until it warms a bit and can work the rear assist bags. Fusion 360 adaptor actually converted to step file and sent to a local shop. It worked.... Love this program. Big chunk of aluminum adaptor overthought, overpaid and fabed up to adapt a 1up mount to the Delta...

    4 feeds from tank/ internal valves ran to exterior. 3 capped for now to calibrate the system and test the rear feed. Unfortunately the F/R feeds will not work as planned. The Accuair system only opens short bursts of air and I was hoping it would open the valve to air or release pressure until...

    Battery strapped in and system working great. I had to temp in a ground to the old seat belt bolt until I get the engine compartment +/-12v run in. Temps were holding well and I hope to not have to put in heat sinks between the pump and battery. So far looking good there. ECU alive and working...

    Battery in, need to strap it down, doing several load tests on it. Have had it many years and not the best at keeping a charge on it. Guaranteed 12 year's and 117 lbs but also not $2000+ for lithium. Cost $0. Temped in the shore power due to it being 4 degrees F. White wire a temp temperature...

    Little progress on the fat pig: weBoost antenna with adjustable RAM mount, this is Colorado and there are a few trees left, coax feed and solar DC wiring into the cab. 95% of the time this will be down in the garage, A bit of home brew kayak load/ mount in the background. 200W Redarc solar. Big...

    Prepped the weBoost antenna mount, I went with fold down RAM mounting on the rear side of the Bowfin to keep it tucked away until needed, along with the MC4 solar panel feeds. I also test fit the Redarc 200W panel on the roof rack and actually have a great fit (panel is huge). Final decision...

    Inverter time. AC Input top(as mentioned, plan is to do shore power to the Delta front bumper where they sent them out all cut out and ready to go with no cutting, I hope, I think intended for a block heater) and manager30 out on bottom. Both hardwired in. Dipswitches seem to be correct but...

    A lot of things coming and going in this area. #2 mockup and test fit. Soooo, I overlooked the 40amp feed for the inverter(white sheet listed 40x9 amps whatever in the hell that means). I believe for a 2500W inverter, your looking at fusing @ 250amps, and a bank of batteries.... Zero need for...

    A really generic overview of the OBA AccuAir/ ARB combo I will use. I just need to add a "T" fitting and chuck to the output of the twin just in case the system goes down.

    Had a few minutes on the work computer today to lay out the base wiring I'm looking at. A little :hillbilly: but it works for me. *EDIT- V1, changed breaker size to Inverter to 150 and upped cable feed to 1/0. still undersized for the 2500 WATT but I don't see maxing it out or want the larger...

    Testing some vinyl wrap on the interior plastic. Actually liking it much better than I thought I would. This is where the 4 air feeds would pass thru. I'll continue outside once it warms up a bit. Mix /matching some Blue sea terminal blocks and the redvision battery monitor back on the...

    Twin ARB mounted passenger side, left the compressor supplied mounted intake filters on for now. If it helps keep temps down, I'll try pulling cooler air in. Going with braided line for heat and added in a water filter trap to help keep the tank dry. 3/8" line to tank on the passenger side. Line...

    Drove the fat pig about 800-900 miles and over 6-7 passes in 3 days with one a mild offroad and it did amazing. Some gas smell which I'm thinking the rear vent/float in the tank is letting fuel by to the CC(likely why so many have issues with the OEM CC as the vent line is always filled with...

    Finding it hard to find time for the 80... Very little progress on the interior. Everything torn out, just need to get to a local shop to address headliner refinish and maybe put things back together. Hopefully try to get on the trail in a few weeks and finally stretch the suspension a bit. Do...
