Weebz Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 So the next struggle begins. Figuring out body work. 1 3 Link to comment
Weebz Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Some progress. I think I friend my compressor though with the die grinder. 2 4 Link to comment
Jdofmemi Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Making good progress Too bad about the compressor. I bought an electric die grinder for my build, and just ordered a Milwaukee battery powered for trail use. Would have come in handy on the axle repair. Link to comment
KevinG Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Looks good. I'm hoping to get mine done at some point. Great to see you again. Link to comment

Weebz Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Well some updates. Finally getting around to trying and finish this thing up to be more than trail ready. Front bumper is finally here. Sliders are here. Cage is back out (not sure how that is going back in). Seats are here. And last but not least, working on closing up the gaping holes in my tub. 2 Link to comment

That's cool Is is a kit, or scratch built? Link to comment
Weebz Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 It’s Motobilt kit modified to fit the GR cage. Link to comment
Weebz Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 So my new favorite tip. If you ever want to remove the sound and heat shield glued to your tub just let it sit in the sun when it’s 105 degrees. Peels right out. Lol. Here I had my torch ready to get it out. No need. 3 Link to comment

You adding something back in place of it? Link to comment

AJK Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Are you bending that metal in the rear. That looks really nice. Link to comment
KevinG Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 That kit from moto bilt looks really nice back there! I might have missed it but what front bumper did you get? Nevermind. Just saw it's VKS. Frame chop? Link to comment
Weebz Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Well…tub has been scrubbed down and scotch bright to the whole damn thing. Degreased and ready for liner. Then this rolled in. 1 1 Link to comment
AJK Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Do you plan to do any trips prior to SH? It amazes me how much you have done to that rig. You ever think of coverting to automatic trans? Link to comment
Weebz Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Yeah. I’ll make some more trips. I only have about 2 weeks of crap till I’m done I think. i won’t go automatic unless they engine goes. Then I’ll figure out what to do from there. It for now I love my manual. Usually. Lol 3 Link to comment
wjtstudios Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 That back area really came out clean with those panels. Can’t wait to see it all wrapped up! I’ve never seen anyone run a manual transmission the way you have over the years, it would be a whole new learning curve for you to go to an auto 1 Link to comment
Weebz Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 Spray foam to fill the void space seemed like such a great idea. Till it wasn’t. 1 2 2 Link to comment
