What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Drew up a breather manifold a few weeks ago. I finally had time today to take the drawing and turn it into real life. It's made of aluminum with 4 through holes. This allows up to 4 connections ( front diff, rear diff, transfer case, and transmission) All holes are tapped 1/4" 18NPT. Just order the fittings today. Can't wait to finish it!

An update on my breather manifold. I got the fittings in. Now I just have to wait for a weekend to install.

Finished up the welding on the bumper project.

Now to start the swing arm portion.

Took it to pick up Thai food.

Well I did some much needed repairs after the last cold snap, lost an alternator and belt in the bush luckily was on our way home so I just kept going and didn't stop until we got home, sadly 10 days for parts and another for install and maintenance work, thanks Micheal for the battery box clean up idea it was to cold to wash him as well. Finally found a 70A alternator and added to dual battery switch.

Had to renew my plates. So I upgraded to Smokey The Bear plates. Some of the cost goes to Ohio Division of Forestry. "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires!"
I worked on a 500 gallon engine for the Oregon Dept. of Forestry one summer, and I had to wear the Smokey costume for parades and festivals, since I was the FNG. It was HOT!

Too rainy and wet today to install my sliders, so instead I removed my front Nissan emblem with the thought that I'd black it out. But, I managed to snap 2 of the tabs in the process (I ALWAYS break the plastic tabs!), so that motivated me to monkey with alternatives. Here's a prototype of a flat black cover for the emblem mounting holes w/ the OB badge in the center. I'm thinking I might go this route, and add some adhesive vehicle letters at the points of the compass... N, S, E, W. We'll see... (I also ordered a replacement Nissan emblem in case it doesn't work out):20161202_115012.jpg
