this is all going down in my garage....
we've been building Hugh's new shop over the last month or so too.....concrete is coming next-next weekend.....then skin and doors on the front wall and electricity, and its full awn over there...

my garage is too small, but w/ some careful layout, can be amazingly functional......its really big enough to do everything I'm doing to this thing....except bend tube inside...

and, amber is bracket master.....she makes patterns out of Hamms and Highlife boxes......I cut them out w/ the torch, and she finishes/fits them...
she's getting pretty damned good at it...

So..... ya going to put some ***** seats in the bed of the M715 so your friends have someplace to ride? Kinda glad you went with that cab in the end, even if the Scout had some things going for it.

Edit: Is that Erik's old truck in the driveway?

Oh, and WTF is this??

Beggars can't be choosers.

Berne, honey, that is hot ****... and the truck is looking good, too. ;)

 

[Berne]

THAT.....would be the pile of ****ty bear in the corner, the Natty Ice, there's some Busch light, and out of view I believe there is some Milwaukee's Best Ice also....

thats the beer that other people bring over, then drink my beer in the fridge, and leave their's....thinking that was a 'fair trade'....

:redneck:

and for the seats.....well.....its gonna be tight back there....

so....I've come up with another solution....

retractable tug lines.......like water ski ropes, that self retract when not in use......and then some storage somewhere for some 'off-road skateboards'....

really shawn, trust me, it'll be sweet!!!



and ya, Erik's old bronco is now Melon's bronco....but it lives at my house......
and has 38's on it now...

 

[Berne]

Funny I saw that same tank/storage

I wouldnt use it. When I had my normal fuel cell with no pickups I tired to make an accmulator. It didnt work out too good. Still ran out of fuel here and there. I ended up making my own cell and running the pickups.

well,
I went and bought that tank/tool box thing last night......
but I think it'll be going in the tow rig instead...
the tank.....WAY bigger than I need.....much bigger than the "40 gallons" advertised......I'm guessing its somewhere between 60 and 75 gallons....

but, this may mean.....I'll put a smaller tank in the new rig, and just re-fuel out of the tow rig......
or, put diesel in the tank and be almost able to make it to vegas and back empty w/ stopping for fuel....


either way....
I still need a fuel tank for the new rig.....

I'd say minimum size would be around 25 gallons....

ideas..???

Ben

which brings me to my next dilema....

I'm uber-tight on time.....and I'm really NOT going to have time to build a tank before Goldendale.....
but "I KNOW" that building a tank for it is what needs to happen for this to be what I want.....I could save so much space, and design it w/ a built in ~0.5 gallon sump....

anybody got a fuel cell I can borrow till after goldendale??

[Totalled]

Bronco II tanks are 23 gallon if that helps ya any..

 

[saf-t scissors1]

[saf-t scissors1]
