Worked up some mounts for the bins and pressed in some rivnuts. I mocked them up and tacked them in, pulled the bins and welded them out. Bins back in and marked the holes and got those opened up, then I bolted them in. I used g8 1/4-20s because it's what I had. Probably will swap them to...

It all helps. I'm always interested in how people maximize the space. I neglected to get an image of the air filter support mount in it's place before.

The goal is to use all the available space possible and if possible add cubbies to hold things. There's just never enough reasonably secure storage for some of the naturally loose items in a buggy. To that end I did some cardboard design work to make sure the plan was going to work out. I had...

I needed one more clamp to support the ARB hardline on it's way back across the vehicle and I didn't want to have to cut/grind/etc. I printed this in 25% infill PETG with 5 support layers. It just bolts to the existing hole with a longer bolt holding the fan shroud to the ****** cooler. Bolting...

I've about got everything plumbed now. Just have to print a couple of brackets to support the ARB supply line going from left to right. Added a 1gal air tank, PRV, and an air quick disco on each side. I snuck a gauge where you can view it from the side just past the tire (hopefully). It all...

That. So nice having it in the immediate area you're welding in, especially if you had to climb in to get there.

****** cooler lines got run in parallel to the fuel lines. I didn't want to have to drain the ****** cooler circuit every time I removed the seat mount tubes, so I made the bulkhead mount bolt in as well. All the clamps were 3D printed except for a single aluminum double I had left over. I...

Name brand 1140rpm 3/4hp 1ph 56 frame footed TEFC motors are expensive.

I did.

I posted this back when I did it in my garage thread, but it's specific to this as well. I may as well contribute after reading through almost 30 pages of other installs. It started with a 220v 3ph Rockwell press I picked up. A hobby box, a Teco drive, DRO, rheostat, power supply, a fan...

The vinegar is nice because if you forget, the bolt is still sitting there at the end of the day, not so much with HCl :LOL: Citric works fine, but mixing anhydrous citric and water in 5mL quantities is a pain and you have to agitate it until it's all in solution. Probably works very well for...

I spent the majority of the weekends free time getting the fuel system closed up. I opted to put in 2 filters, a 100µm and a 10µm. The 100 exists solely as a cleanable solution that is easy access in the event the Hydramat breaks down or somehow fuel foam breaks down and gets past it. The 10...

I was able to do some metal whittling on the old Atlas. Poor compound gib needed to be readjusted and I just pushed through without bothering like a mongoloid. I've since brought it in so hopefully the finish quality improves. Now onto hard and soft plumbing the rest of the fuel system.

Among about 10 projects I have going on this rig right now, I jumped off the fuel system cliff. First step(s) were to fit a GB fuel plate above to utilize an ebay score of a Aeromotive pump assembly that works with a GM fuel level sender. This also uses the normal 22 bolt opening. Added a...

My wife tells me that all the time, but here we are:confused:

Yes, depending on which side has the final overlap ends return to, it seems to want to fold on the seam between them on the backside so I laid them out that way. These are 14" in the back and 17" up front. The front ones should be easy, as they don't overlap. The rears though with passing over...

Yanked the front axle out and started the process of getting it geared, aka, making it heavier and harder to move around. Ring gear torqued. ARB test fit after I knocked out the SD shaft seals and put some 40spl seals in place. I think I'm happy with that pattern. Just got my order of...

Another weekend, more items ticked off. Intermediate shaft is in. Snug. I got a cheap Chicom SxS light bar for tail lights/brake lights. It's ok, low profile which is good. I made some tabs and then loomed the harness after depinning the connectors. I might scrap the deutsch connector...

At some level you just have to try and avoid hitting them, like sideview mirrors to come.

Yea, that's probably going to be more more obnoxious than I will like. Something to change in the future likely. Getting ready for a camping trip and fired up the tow rig this weekend to make sure all was well. It wasn't, had to drop in a radiator in a hurry. Got some items checked off though...
