Builds The Iron Yak

When I drive my topless 40 folks ask me all the time, "what happens if rains?"

I run 60 and don’t stop!

Throw a tarp and bungie cords in the back. We’ll be over your way tomorrow. Taking our little one to the zoo for her birthday.

 

[alabamatacomaguy]

Tarp and bungie cords are for if it rains…. Not for the zoo. Giraffe meat is to gamey anyway.

Drove it A lot last week. Been sitting Saturday and Sunday. The leaks appear to be getting worse.
How soon does this need to be addressed?

Topping off and keep enjoying is way better than tearing it apart and not being able to drive it!

would be great if I could get to our “cold“ months. January and February and do something about it then.

Do you know whats leaking?

 

[Catching Neutral]

i know the valve cover has a small leak. That has been there but was never a big concern because it was so small. Not sure what else. I have get under and inspect.

Started up today to let it warm up to operating temp so I could check the oil. Found condensation on the sniper.

Anyone seen this before?
@wngrog?

New steering stabilizer.
@wngrog ……have you seen anything like this before in the post above?

 

[wngrog]

No idea. I stole this idea from @85roktoy.

Had a great time meeting @thatcabledude and @cbmontgo at the 9th annual 30a Sandrover Festival kickoff party last night. Sorry no photos. @cbmontgo should post one later. I will say I had my first in person look at the procar rally seats which @thatcabledude has in his 40. I was really impressed. Very nice product. They look so close to original they had me fooled.

Rebuilt center arm.
Discovered the oil leak is coming from the oil filter bracket. So that gasket is ordered and an oil change, filter and new gasket will happen soon.
Removed the seat belts to send to www.seatbeltplanet.com for re-webbing.

Spoke with Mike at Seatbelt Planet. He could not have been more helpful. UPS ground will have them there next Tuesday. I didn’t ask about the turn around time. They should be a remarkable improvement over this.

I’ve been reshuffling this upgrade for the last couple of years. Looking forward to seeing your results.

@Chungas Revenge
I have postponed this project for so long as well. Truly happy to have sent them off. My drivers side belt was old and twisted to the point where it would hang up and catch. Will post photos when I get them back.
