THat is solid work

 

[Booger weldz]

Thanks to a collaborative effort involving Booger Weldz (access to very large break) and Jcardona1 (use of his welder) I'm closer to a final design. Testing yet to come. I made several templates last week, and finally sent this version down to Boog. He got the 10g version back to me and we burnt them on last night in the dark at Jose's. I spliced into my old wire loom just to field test it tonight in the dark and check for vibrations and final tweeks. View attachment 952744View attachment 952745

I'm jacking stuff up as fast as I can! Tacked in the stinger last night but I think I'm gonna take it out

And instead put in a flat tube. Fab up some mounts for my light bar and have that be the "stinger". I think it'd look too busy with a hoop and light bar above/behind it

Leave the stinger on man I think it looks sik!!! Thats a great looking bumper.

Wow, that's the coolest hay hauler I've seen.

Installed hatch storage from socallove. Bought his blem unit, counter sinked on the wrong side so buttonhead bolts will need to be used. Overall, happy with the $ spent.

Went off roading with a few members of our local Cruiser club and had to finally try crossing this notorious section of water formed by a small creek. Tried to pull me from the front with the Bubba rope. Didn't work, so I got winched out from behind. No water was coming in until I was tugged with the Bubba rope. Engine stalled after I tried a few reverse/ forward manoeuvres, but I just dug myself in deeper. Engine started right up, but was idling rough for about half an hour. Looks like I'll be changing some fluids as well as removing the carpets for a good cleaning.

PLEASE MORE DETAILS! what size bar is that? Been looking to do the same thing. Most likely with a 50" radius bar. If you feel like making another set PM me

More progress on Gordita. More pics in my build thread

You got stuck with a snorkel? How is that possible? Dizzy got wet?

 

[Apounder]

Also thanks to bh3d printing got some new bling!

The dizzy is the first weak point with 3 holes in the base way before the snorkel comes into effect when it comes to water crossing.

Glad to see I'm not the only freak that doesnt sleep.... I didnt do anything for my Cruiser this week.. but I did stuff for other guys Cruisers. Does that count?

Yes, the dizzy got wet. Even had a couple small twigs stuck on the valve cover. The entire engine compartment is covered in dirt.

I hear ya there. I rarely sleep more than 4 hours a night.

That run looks like a great time. The pic of the road side portapot doesnt look so appealing but hey you gotta go when you gotta go right.

Is there a safe way of waterproofing the dizzy write-up somewhere?

 

[NLXTACY]

Is there a safe way of waterproofing the dizzy write-up somewhere?

Yes

But like you, I'm also too lazy to search for it

Plug 1 of the 3 holes
Use 1 hole and a line for fresh intake
Use the last hole and a line connected to your air cleaner


Warning - When water level is above the body line it begins to come inside, snorkel equipped or not!
