Soooo....went and looked at a '94 today. Just showing some pics of what I snapped while there. Not sure what is on top of the engine....ideas? Almost looked like fiberglass....
I will post body shots, etc once I pick it up and get it cleaned up. This is going to take some scrubbing and elbow grease.
I am going to have to organize a HAMOM weekend to swap out parts etc.

Mounted my new-to-me 42" TSLs tonight. Took about 2.5 hours to mount all four.

JB weld on the valve cover.
That's not wrenching, that's looking. This isn't "The Looking Thread"
Also congrats
Haha. Well, technically I had one wrenching question. I will post pics and more questions once I pay for it and it is a done deal....in the looking thread.

let me know your thoughts on it off road.... i've heard many times that the ride on dirt roads is pretty bad on the iron man.
Was thinking on their TB's at some point since I can pick them up at metal tech and save shipping
sweet.... you might as well change the name to Juggernaut because it is going to be unstoppable pretty soon
We took it out yesterday on some forest service roads by the house and they was some vibration we don't see in the 80 with an ARB. It is definitely lighter that the ARB I think the iron man is a couple mm thinner. Overall we are satisfied so far we got it as a scratch and dent so couldn't pass it up. Install was super easy though which was nice and no modifactions to the frame horns. Also to note on the LA we didn't have to modify antenna mounts on the bumper like we would have had to with an ARB.
I think I left my brain at home this morning.... for some reason I read your original post as installing an iron man lift.
that is a nice looking bumper though
We'll as we all know buying is usually the precursor to wrenching right. LolJB weld on the valve cover.

12v pod came in today so last minute "wrenching" before hurricane creek went down tonight. Sorry the pics are dark. I'll get more clear shots tomorrow. 12v socket, dual USB ports and a voltage meter so I can keep tabs on my battery.
Mounted my arb 2500 awning to the camper today, and the rear mounted spare carrier. went off the shelf for that to get us up to OSH and back. Hooked up the solar system on Saturday. renogy eclipse 100 watt suitcase. can charge each batt individually or parallel with this setup. @Rice helped out with a couple of quearions. that system is the

Interested to see how you plan on securing that for theft. I just got the little westinghouse generator and I'm thinking about the same issue if it's 20-30 feet away to make sure nobody just walks away with it. Probably for another thread....
really liking how this is coming together. Nice work dude.
Im not overly concerned about theft on this upcoming trip, but I do intend on riveting a hasp to the frame, or just run a bike lock cable through the carrying handle on the panel, and locking it to the trailer. 25 ft away would pose a problem, but we've got 3 bike lock sets we can daisychain if needed. LOL Same thing with the gen. you can run a cable through the handle, and lock it up. With the weather forecast being mid 70s for the high, and mid 50s for the low, the gen might not get used at all.
Eric, when youre ready to wire up your trailer, ive got a bunch of wire and some other stuff left over. we can work something out.

Try to use only pure gas in the westy. Ethanol junk will mess up the fuel lines. Take it out, add the oil, and let it run in the driveway for a while. The first one i ordered from amazon had been bounced by ups, so the plastic case was cracked. it had a horrible rattle from underneath too. gen #2 is much quieter.
I will definitely take you up on that buddy. thanks.
