Beagle Chariot is almost done!

[fowldarr]

I wouldn't drive there for just the horseshoes. It's the trip man, and some good wheeling at the end. I'll even bring my beagle, he'd feel right at home it sounds like. I mean really what's a 16 hour drive in a rig with an untouched motor with 290,000 miles on it. (Maybe I should wait until I get a new engine swapped in, front end rebuilt, brakes, etc.)

We've gotten way off tech, make any other changes to your truck lately?

We have had the TLCA Central Valley Crawlers over two months ago. I think it was a dozen or so rigs. In April I had Lock and Low over but nobody wanted to wheel.

Twice a Year we do a fun run in combination with the vehicle inspection and safety meeting / potluck / bar b que / fishing contest/ volley ball game / horse shoe throwing competition.

Uhhh . . . this sounds like more fun than I could possibly imagine!

Mud members invited?

The OME 3.5" Ultra Heavy Duty pack.

My neighbor drove it yesterday and said it rides nicer than his Sequoia.

What's your guesstimate on your total weight? For the vehicle, that is. I'm just curious how the ultra pack would ride in a not-as-tricked-out-yet fj60.

Next time I drive the rig into town, I'll roll it across the scales.

Beagle Chariot is almost done!

I finished it off in the Expedition Fashion that was my original intent when I got it. I still have to wire some of the lights up and do a few other electricl things.

BIG thanks to Poser for keeping my nose in the FSM and avoiding costly mistakes.

Thanks to the rest of the Mud Members as well.

Dave-T for assisting with the Engine removal.
65SWB45 & Mark W for the technical assistance with the engine rebuild.
OrangeFJ45 for the tips on the OME 3.5 Uber Heavy duty Lift install.

Nice rig... , what winch you use??


P.D.: sorry for my english

 

[weak-link]

sell it yet?

 

[D'Animal]

sell it yet?

I'm waiting for the Kodiak Commander and the Mrs to come down and look at it.

I had an old warn M6000 on it. Some guy really wanted that M6000 and traded me an 8274 for it but it won't fit on this bumper. I will find an M6000 or maybe just put a milemarker on it.

 

[weak-link]

So do I get 5% if sells? I did convert them to the darkside...

You dont like the PTO winches?? is too hard to find?? or too expensive??, i think is a good choice, but is true you need to change your front bumper to install the new winch, i hope so you can find the 8274 (the best electrical winch)
