So i gave the wife, father n law a ride. Then the neighbors kids wanted a ride.

Karl was the last one for a ride and he approved the cruiser!

Spent today trying to fiqure out a air cleaner setup.

Also working on instaling the roll cage. Going to be some grinding involved on that.

Same aircleaner i am running.

Forgot to show you that brake switch thing by the pedal man. I really think you need another one. I never did see the litle extension coming out of that one to tell the lights to come on. Push the pedal while looking at it and you will see what i mean.

Dude, beautiful. Did Darin patch up the few holes that were there?

 

[custyota]

work to be done....

Darin patched a little rust spot on the driver side floor and raptor lined the interior of the tub. He also checkec out the rest of the vehicle for safety. He installed a choke and we drained the water and added coolant. Which I think I need to do again.

I still need to install new seats, mirrors, new wiper blades, seat belts and a liscense plate bracket with light to pass inspection.

The roll cage is my next project. The holes all the brackets get bolted to are all fubared up. So Im trying to decide what to do there. I may just grind of the old nuts under the wheel well and install new ones.

I hope I can get this all done bewtween now and STR.

I would just tap them out to a bolt size that all are the same and go for it.

 

[custyota]

one of the holes is crazy bigger then the rest. Im having some help this weekend with this project.

Meatballs are usually served at parties in crock pots, so I suggest calling his 40 the Crock Pot...

I like it!! So when Meatball is on the trails we'll say he's "simmering in The Crockpot".

No doubt about it if he comes to URE in the summer. These are about the best back to back posts ever.
