[Eshu Elegua]

Tube fenders almost ready!

 

[dconley00]

Purchased a 2 f off eBay for 800 to replace my f and a half.they said the compression was over 150. Turned out he was telling the truth. Got in running today purrs like a kitten.

 

[Thorx7]

Doing rear end overhaul and realized the new shackle pins I purchased were not the correct ones. Anyhow spent some time under the rear end and after fitting new bushes and greasing everything up, I get to put it back together again!

I love my cruiser.

Front and rear bumper replacements

Replaced my front bumper with HFS and roller fairlead. Pretty easy install. PO had welded a crappy homemade bumper to the bumper etensions so I had to find replacements. Not as easy to find decent bumper extensions as I thought it would be!

Also replaced the crappy homemade welded bumper in the back with MAF 4+Plus bumper and fuel/cooler carrier basket. Really happy with the outcome.

Also added the factory taillights and fixed the PO hack job. Now they all work including the backup lights. Very pleased with the outcome.
Busy weekend but all worth it.

It's a slippery slope... Just wait till you see how well it'll stop with 4wheel discs.

 

[FARMAN33]

Budget "restore" here. Purists beware.

Instead of these Taillight, Bracket & Lens

for a total of $105 to my door...

I decided on these Sealed, 4" Round Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light with Reflector, Flange Mount, 4-Function Optronics Trailer Lights ST48RB

for $17 shipped. Fabbed up some brackets (free) and I have something very close to stock looking. Very happy.

I finally got my PTO winch drive shaft hooked up, working and then wound the new cable on the drum.

 

[DogDigger]

Thought about it...

Thought about it...

Used time at school to scour the web for parts and drove it around. Planning to borrow a mig for the tray which I'm fitting during the school holidays next week and week after...
Thats just about it

 

[FARMAN33]

Looks nice Falco. Very nice.

 

[bomb69tech]

Built a swing out tire carrier.

 

[ElHefe]

Holy smokes, that looks great, bomb!

1. Passed inspection on Monday. HUGE COUP!

2. Figured out later that day that my gas tank was full of rust particles, which would completely clog my fuel filter in 15-20 miles. Top speed: 40 MPH, otherwise it would clog while driving and lose all power. FAWK!

3. Removed the tank, had it hot tanked at Blanco Radiator Service in San Antonio for $55. That included an inspection for holes and a repaint. Took them 24 hours and the tank looks great.

4. Installed the tank and made her maiden voyage on the highway to Austin. Minor overheating problem, but she could cruise at 60 (almost 70 with my rubber overdrive without a hiccup). FAWK YEAH!

5. Now getting the lift and Bilstein 5125s put on at Edwin's shop. FAWK YEAH x 2!

6. Edwin's is also draining away my radiator worries... for getting the sludge out of there!

Wow, looks like coffee grounds in there!

PS: What filter is that? It looks like a serviceable unit.

Is it suitable for FI use (high-pressure)?

 

[PabloCruise]

I destroyed a perfectly good AIR pump by not paying attention to what I was doing.
Yay!

What happened?

 

[ElHefe]

Pablo, the fuel filter unit is completely serviceable. Very helpful when you are having problems like I did (the filter was full from inlet to outlet with waste in 20 miles of driving). The fuel filter units and additional filters are also sold separately, which is awesome if you don't feel like cleaning a filter on the road, just slide a new one on to the threaded and bored rod and slide on and tighten the glass casing.

And yes, it can handle FI.

Something like this: http://www.ooracing.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=907

But you can find them at O'Reilly's.
