What did you do to your rig today?

[nicks93kblazer]

This forum hasn't seen much use so I thought I'd try to get it going with a thread that will keep going and going. Like the title says though, what did you do to your rig today? Finish something, build progress, anything? I want to see desert stuff

I built a bumper. I wanted a desert styled bumper since my truck keeps becoming more and more go-fast oriented than it is slow paced rock crawling. and I can't mount a winch on it so I thought this would be a good place for it

Let it down from the lift and moved it so I can finish my dads 34 Chevy Master Coupe.

[ktmoutfront]

i pulled the engine outa my blazer to change it aorund and put it in my sandrail/prerunner im building.

 

[nicks93kblazer]

sandrail/prerunner? what are your plans?

 

[miniwally]

I store it there.

Nice. I am going to start using that one.

NO it's not broken I just remove all of the skins, belly pan, shocks and driveshafts as my normal storage routine.

I rewired my electric fans for the fourth time last night. Hopefully I wasn't an idiot again and mess something up. At least I have found new ways to mess things up and not repeat the same stupid thing over and over.

It's true. Even with 20' of air last time out, nothing broke.

I thought there were 1.5 million of those for sale on race dessert. Cool to see someone building one.

mine is a little different, im using a powerglide trans coupled to a irs nine inch rear end.

the pics do not give you an idea of scale either, the front tires and rear paddles measure 38" tall.

 

[ktmoutfront]

Post pictures of the rear end.

 

[nicks93kblazer]

I haven't done much lately... the most exciting thing I've done was weld up my rear end.

Did you do the "Orb" ? I'm getting ready to do mine up Orb-style

I welded the gaps where the teeth on the side gears mesh with the teeth on the spiders... anything beyond that isn't necessary IMO.

Although it's not hardcore tech I'm glad to finally have a trans temp gauge installed so I can keep an eye on my 700r4...

Last weekend I went and snagged some Ford 57's and started cleaning them up. I have some goodies on the way from Kert @ DIY4X so in a couple weeks I should be ready to rebuild the rear of the k10...
