Stock shackles and springs:

Nice looking 40.

I'm curious what this for. Is this a fuel cap?

 

[Gruntled]

Cheers Miker, yes it is a fuel cap. A legacy of the previous owner adding an extra tank and doing it very poorly. The two tanks are connected with a fuel line but no shut-off valve. As a consequence I have issues with the main tank draining and then having to wait overnight for the fuel to move through from the auxiliary tank. I'll be fixing the issue with a separate gauge and lines for the auxiliary tank in time.

One of my favorite SOA rigs slickrock! Can you post the pic I have seen in other threads of your rigs right side, flexed out in Moab?

Thanks! I'll dig through my photos and see if I can find it. It might be on my other computer that crashed a few months so that one may be gone.

Pics from Calico, CA

This one?

My mind was playing tricks on me. I found the pic that I was thinking of and it's not your rig. I still think your rig is one of my favorites though!

Here is the pic I saw

Yes, it's a fun rig, I thought about giving it a cosmetic makeover than retire it to the street but it's more fun to be on the trails...
