nah, the airbag was already out of the vehicle ... me.

 

[NGray]

Showed that to my neighbour. "Yup, done that before."

 

[crushers]

once the wind dies down, dig R out and then use the air hose with the other side doors open, then the shop vac, then pull into the shop for a heated dry out ...

stupid of me, real stupid.

It could be marginally worse. Rain instead of snow......

 

[crushers]

snow, while still cold, is like dust (or rock) ... once it melts it is a figgin mess, combination slush, ice and water ... going to have to bear the cold to clean it out easily.

As my dear old dad would ask every time he caught me doing something stupid, which was fairly often. ................ Did you learn anything from this experience?

 

[crushers]

yah, let the wife back it into the snow bank ... then it is HER fault.

 

[Phil in BC]

Darn, I was a lot happier knowing you were in the dog house.

Before and After

BJ74 ...... Before

 

[Gun Runner 5]

BJ74 ....... After

ARB brush bar installed.......
Thanks Alberto & Shes Mad.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

I now have a spare PTO mounting frame and a factory PTO cover.....

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Metal blocks ( some welded, some bolted ) to secure the front of the winch to the back side of the brush bar.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

The factory bottom protection plate was modified and re-installed.
...... and yes it is a very rainy day in Southern Georgia

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Alberto, you have to admit it looks better on a BJ74 than a BJ70.

 

[NGray]

looks good...I want one!

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Thanks....
In addition to the ARB brush bar installation I also had the radiator refurbished, the heater control rebuilt ( the same controls I forced and broke ) and re-plumbed some of the air locker hoses to correct a leak. I no longer have to drive my wife's 4Runner.

Install a radio to go with that big antenna too?

I like big antennas ......
The factory antenna was rendered useless because of its proximity to the snorkel.
The new antenna can pick up FM stations in Moscow.
