Well, got it winched off the trailer and into the garage. First time I have had to use the lift as a winch point. It appears the transmission fan wire got overheated where it passed by the headers on the drivers side. Some collateral wire damage. It got everytihing going to the back of the buggy except the winch that was wired later.
Transmission Fan
Fuel Pump
Air Compressor
Tail Lights
ARB rear plastic line
and Battery Hot (00 Wire) to dash.
All the components work when direct wired, engine runs with fuel pump straight wired.
So all is good.
I will go to Gardendale Performance tomorrow and try to get someting better for heat shielding. I had it run through a fiberglass mesh sleeve. The engine bay is just so tight. I have no choice but to have the wiring just about on the headers. I can get about 1/8" gap, but that is it.
I have replacement blue ARB line, so good there.
Roll did nothing except dent some tubing. My super tall stinger worked perfect. It went from stinger to roll cage without hitting the hood or coilover upper mounts. That is the first time I have rolled the single seater. Sure, I have stuck the roll cage in the dirt several times, but a first to be hanging upside down from the belts. And of course, landing in a mud puddle. Only one I think I saw all day.
I rarely wear my shoulder harnesses and a helmet. Ricky asked everyone to harness up for every trail, and wear a helmet if you had one. Thanks Ricky. I see me wearing both more often now.
