Builds rocks and rolls

[mrqtipp]

Did not get much time on the rig this week but I did get a couple things done

I filled the gas tank and was surprised that it holds approx 16+ gallons

I was sure I cut out more then that.


Hopefully a shake down run this weekend

Orange,

It was great to meet you and fox.

Both you and fox's Toyota and general mechanical knowledge is very impressive.

Thanks for the tutorial on the ARB solenoid valve. The fix worked great.

I picked up a couple of spares.

Let me know when your guys next wheeling outing is I would love try to make it.

Hopefully by then I should be well oriented with the rig

Hey looks like you had a good time other than the misfortune and rockrash...I love the airiel pic it looks cool!!!

curious what size tube and wall thickness did you use on your sliders and fenderwell protection ?

 

[concretejungle]

WOW! Now that's a shakedown run!!

I can't believe those tubes bent like that on the sliders!

What is that thing weighing now you think?

 

[mrqtipp]

1 1/4 120 wall. I regret using that thin of a material

I was banging on the slidders pretty hard mostly on purpose.

The rig weighs 5100 with it fully loaded with fuel, tools, and me
