Dunes sound fun

 

you guys are more than welcome to meet us out there. we'll be on the sand june 13th (sat)

camping friday night (state campground) and coming home sunday

 

Timing doesn't work for us. Hoping to get to the dunes in late July.

 

I need an invite to morningwood ;-)

 

Why do you need an invite? Your invited. There done lol.

 

Why do you need an invite? Your invited. Therre done lol.

Well I just wheeled the Badlands alone n it was fun but would have been much better with friends. When we going?

 

Sooner or later you will get the hint. :teehee:

 

Loonie run - Great Lakes 4x4. The largest offroad forum in the Midwest

 

Made some good progress today. Still waiting on a bunch of brown truck parts though. Be tight getting it done by Saturday. Not sure about that. Only so fast I can work when I don't have parts to install.

 

What's Saturday?

 

Can we at least get a parts list? Blue ballar.

 

Trying to get it ready for the dunes. Steve (@1TFROT) is visiting silver Lake. Trying to get it drivable to head over there. Never had the buggy at the dunes. But if not ready I'll probably drive the Jeep out.

we'll be at the state campground friday night and on the sand saturday. going home sunday

the wife will be in the yellow jku as well

hope to see ya out there :thumb:

 

Some rubber hoses, some expensive an fittings and hose. Some grinding discs, welding consumables, plasma consumables, some metal and aluminum. A bunch of wiring and connectors. And some paint.

 

Wiring sucks lol.


Really hoping to get a present in the mail tomorrow. Waiting on my power steering pump is really slowing me down from getting things buttoned up. Need to figure out oil pressure sensor and oil filter relocation kit.

 

I have a filter relocation kit if you need it.

 

Already have one, thanks though.

 

Out for Saturday, won't have parts in time and wife and I are going "shopping" in the morning :sonicjay:.

I did recharge the rear Struts and put some 42s on the back. It's been sitting at full bump and as low to the ground on jack stands as I could get it. Feels good to see it on the tires again. Even if it's just the rear.

New dash almost done along with the essential wiring.

Didn't change my suspension, but moved some things around up front. Prior I had to limit up travel for clearance issues. Well I've since relocated those issues and have gained full bump on the Struts which is almost a 4" improvement. I'm excited to see how it rides and handles not being on the bump all the time.

 

Mounds Sunday if that makes a difference

 

Don't think I'll have all my parts needed by weekend .

 

 

Still don't have crucial parts for the build .

But spent a bunch of time on more wiring and the likes. But I can't decide where to mount the battery.

 

how about on the inside of the buggy? :teehee:

sorry to hear the parts are not there yet.

 

Under the floor, on its side

 

No where "under the floor" between the rails to fit it. Was considering under the dash in front of tcase shifters.

 

Thinking about replacing my battery with an Odyssey or diehard platinum. Reading seems they are the same battery. I might end up mounting my battery on a 45 degree angle and my current battery I don't think that's a good idea as it has vents on the top of it. Just a standard issue dual post exide. Thoughts? Might get mounted sideways to. Haven't committed to mounting the battery yet.

 

Went with a x2power from batteries plus bulbs. Readied deka. Seems to have good reviews.

 

mine is on the floor just behind the pass seat. not sure if you have room like that though

I can post a pic if ya like. you can easily mount the odyssey's/optimas on their side if need be.

mine is a yellow top

 

Please. I want to mount it near the back, passenger side. I suppose I could cut the panel behind the passenger seat and mount it in that area and just adapt the panel around it.
