What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[Staticline40]

Well if enjoyment is greater than or equal to investment then you came out on top!!!!

Enjoyment is guaranteed! I think this is the 3rd evolution of the truck
1st was a Diamondback cover (they are great by the way) and an Oztent RV-1, then I decided I wanted a 270 Degree Awning so that led to....
A Craigslist camper shell that I installed a Prinsu Top Rack on and mounted a 23 Zero Peregrine Awning and Smittybilt rooftop tent. I decided
that was too top heavy and definitely hard on gas. So I sold the tent and went this route. Still waiting on the Goose Gear 60% rear seat delete to arrive
so I can mount the fridge inside safe and sound.

I noticed you're from Charleston County. Although we live in Waxhaw, NC we have a place in MP at Hamlin Plantation. We really like IOP.

Nice area! We are in James Island... about 8 miles from Folly Beach. I saw you’re just up near Charlotte! We go to Saluda, Lake Lure and Mill Spring area. Love it there!

Today was a long one. New bearing, gears, and Spartan locker installed in the rear axle. I also pitched the old drum brakes in the trash and installed a disk brake conversion.

Setting the backlash.

Nasty old drum brakes.

Shiny new disks.

All buttoned up and ready to roll.

Love the spartan locker. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

Been computerless for a few days so haven't been able to update.

On my 76 CJ5 I removed the top for the rest of the year and replaced it with a Bikini top, converted it back from an electric fuel pump to a mechanical setup.

On the 78 I'm working on for someone else. I pulled the carb down for cleaning/rebuild. The owner said that he had someother shop rebuild the carb after getting a bunch of junk in the fuel tank. The shop that farmed it out to me said they got it to run but the carb wouldn't stop puking up fuel. Well when I pulled the carb apart it was missing the float and needle. No wonder it was puking fuel up everywhere. :/

Got most of the carb dipped in carb cleaner for a while. Parts came in today but I'll work more on it tomorrow.

Pulled the thermostat to flush out the block and found the water pump front bearings to be totally trashed. Fan had a ton of play in all directions. So pulled the fan and water pump as well and ordered up some more parts.

Ooo. I also got these in from Rock Auto. Not sure on their age, can't find any lot numbers or the like but the packing and stuff is certainly older. New enough to have a barcode on the main box though.

Really like the new rims. I'm thinking the same type on my Yukon XL..

I made limb risers out of 1/8” steel.

Nice clean look! I'd pull that red strap off however so it does not beat your bumper flapping while on the road. Unfortunately I have seen damage from unsecured strap ends and feel its better to be safe than sorry.

 

[Mekcanix]

will do

Finally got my lift on

 

[RAMXPLR]

Looks great! Worth it. Trust me, I have a way bigger money pit
That looks sweet!

Thanks, let's just call it the money pit

Well if enjoyment is greater than or equal to investment then you came out on top!!!!

Ok- that’s weird. My comment got combined with another- I did not say my own ride looks sweet
Again, your lift, looks great. Period!

It’s perfectly ok to think your own ride is sweet!!! Hell your building you in it!!! Be proud of your creations!!!

Just finished my onboard air with ARB Pressure Control Module. Set and forget now while on the trail

Installed an 813 Fabrication under-rear-seat locking bin today; nice piece of kit and the owner Jeremy is a great guy. They have some cool Gladiator parts...
Had to pull the radio gear out for this job and got it put back in better than before. Its a geek-fest in there ;)

 

[Rolando]

I did nothing with my rig today - we had a beautiful day here in VA and I was riding my bike :-)

 

[T. Stanley]

Well I finished fabricating my brackets and strung up the cables to complete my limb risers. I fabricated the under hood brackets because no one makes any, I used a set of GS light bar mounts for my upper mounts to attach my cables.

Got new rubber under The Beast yesterday, and then went to Glade Top Trail and broke them in.. Had a lot of fun with the group I was with.
