so soon?

[cbeck]

Not supposed to use blue or red lite, those are for emergency vehicles. I have always been a rebel Things have changed tho, turns out I am now the good son My brother is in his second visit to the gray bar motel, my sister went to school on the other side of the state and never came back, and I bought a house less than 2 miles from my mom.

Back when LEDs were all the rage on Harleys and custom bikes, I vaguely recall that (at least in TX) blue could still be used as long as it wasn't view-able from the front. But I'd have to look it up to be certain...

I only remember because I too always thought blue and red were off-limits from any direction.

Just ne careful with blue LEDs the wavelength of light is only slightly off UltraViolet spectrum, and over exposure can cause eye damage.

Seats/belts in. cv's packed and installed. Need real nuts and bolts for the grab bar. Need to adjust clutch slave some more.

Part of the deal with my buddy was I put his name on it somewhere.

so soon? turns into so nice!

I wish I had your patience. I wish that some day my rail looks as detail oriented as yours. But the reality is as soon as it functions safely again, I'll be out tearing up the trails and roads and sand. So I'll just look at yours and play with mine. Cars that is.

Mine is a 5 to 10 footer. Have you ever noticed that set of wheels on cl always looks better than the pos you see in front of you?

You're selling yourself short... but that's fine by me. Got a fuel pump, filter and injection line today but I'm locked out of my shop... some day I'll get the key from the inlaws and not have to rely on the code

Aw, shucks Almost feel bad about reporting the need to pull the engine and find the clutch dysfunction. Found a place to stick his name. Got the cage cleaned and primed.

One last thing I want to do. My daughter, the muscian/arteest did a rough sketch. He needs to be a little more buff, and needs a anchor tat on the opposite fore arm. Want to put it on a roof panel and cleat coat it.

looks great!

Don't know what was wrong with the release bearing. Pulled the engine and everything looked ok. Put engine back in and it worked. With frame off of the jack stands, it is a tight fit.

Put the cage on after getting home from watching the eclipse.

Next issue is the exhaust fitment changed after removing and painting. Winter project will be removing exhaust, cutting above collector, rotating to the rear, and adding a 02 bung. Turns out my kid has a afr gauge and sensor.

Up next.

Progressive it is. Will give 10k full coverage. Will see about a safety inspection without a floorpan, not discussed in the safety inspectors handbook.

[cbeck]

Mo safety inspection complete.

[pullstart]

Great news! Looks like better than a 10 footer to me, you should be proud. Cheers!

My kid's boss lady came out to the shop and said it looked nice and do I want to trade? In a moment of weakness I spouted out-dodge, diesel, 4x4, dually, long bed, 4 door, with less than 150k miles. She said, we have some of those A couple times a week my kid drives home a truck they have picked up at auction. It's like a parade of trucks I can't afford after they are put on the lot.

[pullstart]

meaning.... they'd just sell it? well, I bet you know my vote, if it gives you any strength

Include your man hours to build when considering it's trade value. Include in that your parts chasing, research, design and planning time, etc.... And that portion of your soul invested into it.

Yesterday was productive. Passenger grab bar and side mirrors on. Cranked up spring plates,need a level spot to get both sides evened out. Swapped 52 for some 60 idle jets, the engine really liked that. Floor pans painted, and bed floor installed. Going to call for insurance and hit the dmv today. Still need 4 wheel alignment.
