A Gypsy Wagon Summer

Holy crap! How long is the belt?

[AgDieseler]

Thanks guys. It's pretty skinny, but I'm ready for a change from what the 35s were. 3.5" to 5.5" BS is going to take some getting used to.

'nother from the front:


Doug, that belt is 120.3" long.

To get the shock valves positioned for the rear, I need to remount the tabs on the axle a little lower. I was thinking of these. What to y'all think?

[Graystroke]

looks good..I like skinny tires! as for the mounts how about a cut a piece of cardboard to use as a template and then find a plasma cutter on campus.

[Doug Krebs]

i know where one is, but since frank is a hard ass about letting us use ENTC stuff, I'd want a good spanking!

[AgDieseler]

I like it.

Did you think about painting the rims?

I saw a set powdercoated black, and they were sweet. It just wasn't in the budget. Then again, I've run black wheels for five years. It's time for something different.

get'um chromed

[agjohn02]

so, are you gonna cut out for the front hubs? will the centers cover the rear?

[AgDieseler]

Centers cover the rear just fine. ~4.5 hole is enough to clear a 60 hub just past the chrome. I'll get some pictures when I get back to Dallas in a few weeks.

[AgDieseler]

Wow. I didn't get back to Dallas at all this last semester, so this is the first progress in a few months.

Timed it - went down from waaaaay advanced (it sounded like it was going to fly apart)
Fixed the miss - leaky injector line at the pump
Fine tuned the fuel rate at 71 mm^3 (that's a lot for a 6.2L and good for 450ish lb-ft )
Wired in both alternators - two charging loops; 1 alternator per battery
Trying to order new driver seat...

Next is replacing the sheared bellhousing bolt, general maintenance, wash off the bird ****, and put some miles on it.

[AgDieseler]

Ordered a pair of these:

Truck runs smooth with lots more power. The mud terrains aren't much louder than than the old all terrains. The truck rides better - Bilstein 5125s are the ****. Working on center caps for the wheels today.

[AgDieseler]

Off a W/T trim truck, so they're silver instead of chrome. They match the H2 wheels pretty well.

Looks muy bueno'. Did you just cut out the center's on the front caps?

[agjohn02]
