Prepping the Warthog for a trip to the Roundup with a celebrity driver

 

[wngrog]

Knocked out some projects today that have been on my plate for the Warthog since Beno will have it for a week or so.

finally installed the nice vent tube

Replaced the crappy sticky downy throttle cable with a nice smooth Lokar.

I installed a ARB fridge plug with the wiring kit. Solid stuff as always with ARB. Took WAY too long because I did it right.

This is by far the best config for a fridge. No having to drop the window to access it. Yeti for whiskey ice.

Flags a flyin. @Onur ready.

78 mph...that is just a dream for those of us with the original F engine where the top speed starts with a “4”

Nolen, or anyone, I have a new rear bumper but not enough M12x1.25 carriage bolts. Anyone have a source? I tried Overland Metric and google with no success. Will ultimately go with M12x1.75 if I have to.

Sorry. I don’t have any. Seems like all the bumper bolts people sell are standard thread.

90112-10016 I think is for the front bumper; not the rear (M10 vs M12). I need 90112-12040.

Megazip shows they have the M12 90112-12041 for $1.94. It says front bumper, but parts diagram clearly shows on the rear.

Good price and I've thought about those but they are the chrome plated ones to go with the chrome plated bumper. Not sure how those would look on a pewter bumper. They also show that they have 90112-12040 but they are asking $4.74 each and I need 10 so it's something like $77 shipped. Not sure I want 1.25 thread that bad. Appreciate the help though. I'm sure they are to be found somewhere at a reasonable price.

I was told do asymmetric so I could open the door and get out. (From a guy that owns a shop)

well, the only way to make it right on the Pig, the door hits the Powerbox on the pillar the way I set it up

if I had a do-over and knew what I was doing, I would have made the power pole on the passenger side

Starting to look at some lifts. Are you still happy with the asymmetric design? Looks like the way to go.

Yep. Challenger 10. Really like it.
