What's wrong with Josh's to weigh 4800?
After a great day yesterday of wheeling with zero issues, temp never got over 200 , Ned decided to over heat this morning while driving from Moab Rim to the city park...we put a bunch of water back in and he over heated agian on the road just out of the park...same type of cooling prob as before.. got an air bubble in the motor and I have no idea how it's happening...so I said screw it, put the truck on the trailer and rented a side by side for 2 days.
Big thanks to Chris Perry..pretty sure he single handedly solved Ned's over heating issue..we're gonna run poison spider tomorrow and see what happens.

Did poison spider trail. Ned ran perfect..owned every obstacle..ran wedgie forwards and backwards..need to cut my fenders more..then the wife drove Ned up wedgie.

So jealous. Glad you got everything sorted.
Ned says thx for all the help this year.
short list of new things I must do differently...
trim fenders moor
new different orbital with a return to center and no more 1.5 turns lock to lock
loosing the propane and switching to fuel injection. nothing against the propane at all, I just dont have the room to carry a second tank without major tube rework and not reliably knowing how much propane I have left is turning into a deal. Pretty much set on the MSD atomic fuel injection set up and a fuel cell.
reservoirs on the ORI's..cause they are cool

I had always wondered how the guys who ran propane setups knew how much fuel they had left in their tanks...isn't there a way to setup some sort of gauge on the tanks? (asking cause I've never looked)
The tanks have gauges but they don't really tell you much, I just use two tanks and make sure to start full every day.
Yeah, that's kinda what I figured most guys were doing. My sending unit on my guage for my TBI only works about half the time, and not worth my time to figure out why it's not working, so I fill up the tank every time I go out too, just to make sure
My experience with propane tank gauges is they usually are only accurate about the time they say E. at which point it's too late and you've already found out the hard way anyways. Glad to hear you're going EFI!
ok..still on the fence about switching to EFI...doing it right is gonna be expensive..looking into different LPG tanks first.
Good idea to get out somewhere your dodge can go too. Wheel until it dies. You still have no idea on how long tank lasts
So this is the propane tank I'm gonna get to replace the forklift tank. the gallon capacity is the actual propane capacity..so 15.9 gallons is 15.9 gallons of propane not 80% of that. Which is more than 2 fork lift tanks. It has a legit gauge thats wired so you can run a fuel gauge on the dash and the entire tank will fit between the rear tube rails on Ned which are 28 inches from inside to inside. the 15.9 gallon tank will drop right in. The biggest tank which is 25.4 gallons of propane will prob fit with some tube massaging. This would give me a flat bed in the back for the cooler and make use of alot of that wasted space above the rear end now. The tanks not cheap but its half of what EFI is gonna run me and that should be more than enough propane capacity.

I also picked up a brand new trail gear orbital for $100 less than retail..So that issue is fixed
