Hehe, as I said on CK5, welcome to the "dark side". Guess you'll be needing that tow rig more than ever eh? Sure is nice when you get caught in an unexpected rain storm, temps drop to brrrrr levels, and you can just load up and drive home with heated seats and tunes (or peace-n-quite if that's what you want). In the mean time, you pass/see your frozen and miserable companions trying to limp home in broken, leaking (or no top), noisy, and slow (and often somewhat dangerous on wet roads! ) rigs.
Boy StevO, your garage sure has changed sence the last time I saw pics of your ahh K5 rotfl So are you considering this rig to be a "Truggy" or a "FullSize Buggy"? You should start competing with Dr. Watson, traveling the states...you think your wife would let you do that? hmmm...maybe when Jr. gets older egh? imp: You need a FI454 now waytogo
Nice!! (that says something coming from a die hard Jeeper) That sure will be fun out on the trails!! I hope you never have to pull the engine out!! opcorn:
Pulling the engine will not be a problem, I just cut the cross over bar out, then, weld in cool guy tube connectors, from that point forward the crossbar will be removable.
I had a former classmate try something similar with a 78 Bronco and it looked like crap and now it wont run they only disconected two things and now its not running funny to me not to him rotfl I have been following your K5 site for years lurking and seeing something I can do similar to be Brocs looks great and how about the heat from the engine and tranny when its hot and sunny out thats gonna suck.
I dought it was similar, this was done by a proff. not a classmate. :doah: If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. rotfl The cold and snow sucks on a snowmobile, the heat and mud sucks on an ATV, it's all part of it, at the end of the day I hop in a nice towrig. imp: Some pics: http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151399
