Time to start my build thread


Recommended Posts

Found some cracks this morning. d749396cca5a0c870873a21f55ddf8bc.jpg682e57dd0eb46c684c9519c22b31a4f2.jpg

 

Going to repair it for now; the plan is to send it off to powder coat at the end of the season, as long as I don't find that it's badly bent. If that becomes the case, I will be looking for an A arm frame and switch routes.

I'm redoing mine, I had the frame blasted and found cracks easily once it was stripped...

my buddy has those same lights running of a regular Atv battery independent no stator and just charges before every glamis trip and last more than he needs it to.

How well do they work? I have only tested one light out and not really at night, so I can't tell TBH.

Gravel, as requested I'm letting you know that in my garage, at night, with all lights off, these lights are pretty damn bright, even on 12VAC. Very happy with the $40 spent.

 

On another note, I found this for sale on craigslist:

Opinions? I have total access to a very very good welder. The guy wants $40 for it. Just toying with the idea.

Deadbeat, he welded and wrote procedures for welding F/A-18 structures for 30+ years so I believe he is quite proficient.

 

Thanks gusto!

 

Got my new tank and rad shroud in today. acec6bedeb69ff427cbf594880b7bfec.jpg

 

Everything from here on out should be pretty much elbow grease. I have a wedding coming up and need to save some money for that. Should I just dump her?
