Build The honey badger build

[Firemedic831]

Id get rid of the SBC. Then id cut it in half at the b pillar and stretch it 10”. You got time. Maybe some 44” boggers, needs more aggressive tires for sure.

I have a new one that i just may do something like that with . That is what the 43 tsl /sx tires are for . Of coarse i understand you are being sarcastic , for what reason i do not know .

Man it just goes over things like nothing. Very smooth I am actually very surprised how well it rides . Went out to 140 and went through the rocks like nothing . Then I went over the 2 big drain pipe things and broke my upper link 100 percent my fault I had only tacked the bung . Put her on the trailer and welded it up good to go now . I was going to get a aluminum link so I forgot about that. No biggie. Very happy with how it did though

Source for the pipe and bushings you used for the roll cage to frame mounts?

 

[Firemedic831]

I made them the bushings came from ruffstuff. actually they are spring hanger mounts

I Changed the brake light switch last nite . And we have brake lights . Of course what looked like would be a easy job took a few hours. . There is a steering column support I had to remove to get the new switch in . Of course the PO had a plethora of different bolts he used . But it’s all good now and can use 1 wrench . Also on my pitman arm my tie rod end did not fit correctly. So I bought the proper tapered reamer and fixed that last night . One other thing I have not been happy about and that is the new trans pan I got . It really is a poor design and I have tried 3 different gaskets and ended up using trans pan gasket sealer plus a gasket . It worked but I noticed a very tiny weep So I ordered a new pan with a flat surface . So I will tackle that tonite . And the new headlight switch

you might just skip the pan gasket and use glue instead.

 

[Firemedic831]

Swapped out the new trans pan for the even newer trans pan last night. Zero leaks . Installed new oe headlight switch and we have headlights and tail lights . I need to slow down do not want this thing to get to domesticated . LOL lots to get done this weekend

 

[Firemedic831]

Worked on this last 2 days And took her out today to do some testing. It’s working really well .
