You didn't want to move it back an inch?


Woohoo. I'm getting too good at this swap. #7 going in here with fingers crossed

 

[OGBeno]

So cool that the skid is going to live on.....

 

[jfz80]

To cool not too. The rattle can diva should be proud. Installed, plumbed and running

 

[OGBeno]

Any issues like before Jason?

 

[jfz80]

Like?

Cracked tank? - still on jack stands (stupid brakes) and I only put ~8 gal in to start and verify operation without leaks

Or

Stalling?- haven't had issues since jumping the COR relay. Jumper wire still in place :/

So you're saying that Jason uses gas tanks as skid plates? That could explain his problem.

 

[jfz80]

Um nope. My old cracked tank is in stupid good shape otherwise and we will just say this "new" tank and skid resemble the rest of the donor truck; the drain is no longer in the low point, and appears to have 24 gal capacity. But it doesn't leak

Those of you that want to pioneer the triple gas skid I could help you out.

I look forward to turning the old tank into a case study and seeing what type of re-enforcement we can employ.
A tank built like a tank!

Finished! (for now)

 

[jfz80]

I think you need to cut out the "w" and flip it upside down for "m"oonshine

Looks good ... Trying to finish up my metal melting here today as well.

 

[jfz80]

Bout all she will get for now; phase I of Swingout is done. Was rushing trying to beat the deadline and then more accurately the rain today. So many thanks to so many folks. @GLTHFJ60 and @Rice for bouncing ideas off. @fj40z for labor and laughs and @Mtbcoach for tube bending assistance as well as encouraging me to change course on the design. And thanks to @concretejungle for letting me break in his new welder

Yup... Still room for 37s

Man that really turned out nice!

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I really like that Jason, good work

 

[tgadd]

Looks good.

I like that the tire is inside the carrier

 

[jfz80]

thanks... has something to do with a tired back and a heavy ass tire. Ease of mounting was huge deciding factor.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Valve adjustment and paint. Thanks @SchniperJB

^^^^^

That's awesome. Where the heck did you get a 11291-66010 from?

I'm glad someone got a kick out of it. I tried to explain the joke to Laura and she said "So the joke is that your motor isn't what's on the sticker?" Either she didn't get it or it's not as funny as I thought it would be,

Got it from @SchniperJB, who got it from you I believe!

I was amused.
Humor is just like a frog though.
Dissection will kill it.

 

[NCFJ]

If you have to explain it, it was either not funny or wrong target audience

If you have to continue explaining it, I'd go with the former rather than the latter
