Not often I get a weekend with the lift bay available so I am taking advantage of it!

First thing on the laundry list…

Still at it right now.

Can you tell us more about this alternator? What’s the amperage output and how it differs from stock in performance and price?
TIA

Welded in.

Rear most slider foot lands on the front of the bracket.

So cut it off and am moving it forward.

Sliders have a lot of battle scars so cleaning them up while they are out.

For moving the 3rd slider leg forward about 1” it need to be modified. Three choices, re-make the leg, gap weld a 1/4” or do what I did. Which was weld a 1/4” plate to the foot to take up the gap where I need to weld.

LHS mostly done

RHS still working on the leg but soon to be done.

3rd slider leg tacked in on both sides. This was yesterday, both legs are welded on now and the sliders got prepped then sprayed with 2K epoxy primer. I will coat them tomorrow with Rapor Liner.

EmKieth skid/bracket all done.

Tossed in a Delta panhard bracket that’s been on the shelf for a few years.

Coated sliders, should hold up a bit better than the rattle can job I gave them the first go around.

Rerouted exhaust after raising the panhard. It needed it.

Deleting the LSPV.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Where the LSPV used to be.

Installed on the rear circuit.

Coolant flush done.

New body mounts on the whole Cruiser.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Just like all other 80’s with original body mounts, mine were pretty done.

Cheers

Sliders back on.

You can see the coolant was due for a flush, 4yrs and 20k miles was a bit more than I would like on this Cruiser.

Burning the midnight oil here trying to finish up on my checklist for the shop Cruiser!

Picked this up awhile back, mounted it. Not sure when I will get it wired and it might be a bit low if I add a winch but mounting should help with motivation!

Finishing up here now on a big(ish) round of work on the shop Cruiser.

Now I just need to go wheeling and camping more!

Cheers

Drove my Cruiser about 150 miles today. It is driving, running and performing excellent!

This machine however is something else!





Sixteen footer, turbo’ed with like 750hp, absolute Cadillac on the water! Wow what a machine, I want one!
