Oh thanks.....

Waiting on my fox 2.5x18 shocks to show up... I like the look of the TSL's but not as good as the Treps. I definitely need to get me another set of Racelines to put the TSL's on....

By that I mean that even though its a heavier jeep and not a small buggy, it is a very nicely built jeep. Imo.

Hey does anyone have any 5/16 propane type hose like this? I need 2 feet of it. Or if not, where I get local?.. hate to buy 2 feet tho

And totally unrelated to ANY buggy build but very intresting I think...

Looks like I'm low on aluminum so I guess plywood will have to do...lol

LOL, bet she gets on top...

yellowjacket · 09-10-2011, 01:26 PM

Wow. Been almost a month. Put it in corner of shop to simulate being buggy-less. I've been climbing the wall let me tell ya.
Roughed in alum dash this morn. Gotta get gauges figured out soon

Want to do somethin different w the finish/ color of the alum... I'm open to suggestions ....I know there's lots of creative people online here so I'm all ears.. dash is very roughly roughed in at moment

I always liked the idea of pullin air intak from under dash. Got this nifty(but overpriced) recycled beer can plenum. Rated at 650cfm so I should be ok. I'm not buildin a ls7 space shuttle here lol. Got 2 elbows makin a swing joint prob cut cfm down bit more though...

Buggy is looking real good Rob!

Polish a couple spots that you want something there, put some decals or masking tape down on it. Then sand blastover the whole thing. Pull off everything and clear coat it. Finish will turn out cool.

carwash · 09-11-2011, 02:30 PM

Polish the whole thing, then put a pattern of decals over it. Sand blast, then remove decals leaving polished yellowjackets or some other gay ****.

Fall Crawl!?!???

yellowjacket · 09-14-2011, 01:49 PM

Don't look good...at all... I'm gonna be takin off work this fall to focus on other stuff for a while so looks like buggy needs a new home... spread the word if u know someone lookin... thanx

Exhaust tacked up. Whole things gettin wrapped, so I'm not too concerned about the fact that I miter cut and sweged. A good exhaust man would be embarrassed. I'm ok w it all though.

And went to zoo today...giraffes have long toungues, but rough!....got a nice pic of wife and youngest. Oldest was passed out at this point.

I can still get a oem starter on and off. I'm running a mini starter, but it be nice to know that in a pinch I can go to autozone and get an oem to fit. Either way pipes gettin wrapped

yellowjacket · 09-17-2011, 09:13 PM

Ds pics aren't worth showing. pretty basic. Passenger side has to clear starter, driveshaft w carrier bearing, transfer case, and my stupid crazy low links.
It is just barely lower than oil pan, which gets a skid under it .so all things considered I can deal w it

slow build lately...i did source rad hoses that fit like a glove...just had to hit 2 koi's, 2auto zones, and a oreillys.

yellowjacket · 09-24-2011, 02:39 PM

as far as coolant lines to propane regulator.. does this look correct to the propane guys out there?

new to propane but i understand the water lines help atomize pane, especially in cold weather? so i have the hoses oriented correctly to let flow thru regulator? thanx

yellowjacket · 09-25-2011, 02:35 AM

fiddled around roughing in my electric..still need to get the brake from work to brake me a box for under the dash. im hopin to have switch panal and relays in a box thats easy to reach when im harnessed, yet w enough slack in the wire harness that i can unclip the entire box and set it on passenger seat to rewire or troubleshoot.
scrunchin under dash with a meter would not be fun when theres a problem!

had family stuff lately but played out here the other nite. switch panal box broke up and panal wired in

yellowjacket · 10-30-2011, 01:53 PM

cb finished up. i never ran a cb before, but seemed like if it was under dash it be harder to hear since speaker is on bottom??? idk, maybe a non issue, but i put it up where i can hear, adjust, and grab mic. and between roof slopin back and rear firewall should stay mud free

and put me a map light inside too:)
