Damn, that's a lot of work.

Got one done.

Progress!

Nice!

H1 beadlocks almost killed me to put together...

I could only imagine how much fun that is...

 

[four_by_ken]

So, I had to move the Thing to finish cutting the grass...

For thrown together, I am pretty happy. Made it to the deck of the trailer with the rear tires still on the ground.

I see the other tires.... Do they have wheels installed?

The rims are in there, but the beadlocks are not bolted in. Going to attack them shortly.

32 bolts per rim brings the suck. Worth it in the end though.

Going out to tackle the last two rims right now.

 

[four_by_ken]

Finished up the beadlocks with enough time to bolt them on the truck.

Front clearance looks good. Major interference with the front of the rear wheel well. Off it will come!

Need to grind down my front calipers some more. Little rubbing on the rim.

I'll get some better pictures this weekend.

Look'n good man!

 

[four_by_ken]

Had to grind the calipers a little more. Must be some differences in the rims I used to have to these ones. But it was minor compared to what I did last time.

Next is to trim the front of the rear fenders and the front of the front fenders.

 

[four_by_ken]

Rear fenders trimmed up.

 

[four_by_ken]

Well... had to play a little bit. Was still pretty stable. Rear tire was starting to go up the ramp.

The tires significantly improve the looks.

Stopped the coolant leak. Brakes are a 1.5 pumper now instead of a 2 pumper.

Just need to add breather lines, a little trans fluid, put in fuel filter and a new air cleaner.

Will be taking it out on Memorial Day!

Did some testing for a good 15-20 minutes in the ditch tonight. Nothing broke and it didnt over heat... and didnt seem to stumble.

 

[four_by_ken]

Still needs some tweaking here and there, but I think it is Mounds ready (local ORV park).

Still have a problem with filling the trans fluid. Pukes out.. not sure just where though. From what I can see... it looks like mid way up the fill tube. Which makes no sense to me.

Blew a braided brake line yesterday... but replaced it with a rubber one for now.

Fluids are all topped off... greased up. Just need fuel now.

Thats what I was thinking too. Never heard of that before.

But....

I am the previous owner of the trans and it never leaked.

I will add a little more trans fluid Monday morning and call it good for the day. Check it out better next weekend.

Nothing a little duct tape cant fix
