87 K5 Build...Hmmm, whats that Ryoken up to? stay tuned...

sounds like you need to start wrenchin on the bad boy and get it done!!!:D:D:D
 
what are those? are they drive flanges?

with slug eliminators.. didn't want to pass that deal up, tho there are other items higher on the priority list.. it's just another I can check off...
 
I ordered a set of those flanges also... just had to snag them up.
Youre right.
That was a good deal.

BTW I cant wait to see your rig out on the trail.
 
me too....... :wink1:

as it sits in that pic, I'd guess about 90.. I'm figuring the whole thing is gonna be 120, 125.. I can live with that... but i'll dig the scale out and weigh it when done... and I'll do an aluminum skid at some point...

just wish my notcher had shown up...
 
Got a quick question about you mojave heater. Do you still have defrost capabilities? I am looking at the Summit version because its on sale right now, but I have to have defrost.
 
mine is actually the summit... they have 2 ducts.. one you can run to the floor, the other you can hook up to your plastic Y-pipe to the defog with a little work...



stinger on... the side supports are going to be 1.5".....

Wow I only show 18,


great work Paul!
 
I just finished reading all 90 pages. That was a good few hours. Interesting build, and very nice work.

I've decided that I dont like the side support... gonna change it out to something with a little turn down at the corner.. hopefully I can keep that lower headlight exposed..

only prob with that is I don't have a 1.5 die yet... maybe I'll order it friday...

in the meantime, I'm gonna start bending up the cage...
 
here's how I'm taking care of my bender mount/clocking issue... still need to go to Homo Depot and pick up 4 new anchors...

now I can clock it every 45 degrees when needed... I was gonna do some fancy, pin-able, carousel type thing, then said screw it, my efforts need to go elsewhere.... it's only on the longest pieces that I need it anyway...











ok, on to some funner stuff.. :D





my modded clutch lever...

Good idea on the lever won't work though first time you pack it into a rock or tree or hard dirt :rolleyes:

unless all this effort is going to a trailer queen :D
