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.

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.

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!

Cheers
