So many cool toys at summit racing



getting my winch power leads built and the system wired





topping off all the fluids

 

newer 3.0 duramax would sure be a fun swap in a rover I think

 

I had a f250 4x4 short bed standard cab with the v10 I kept eyeballing to swap the 110 body on 😂

 

Yeah, l keep thinking about the neighbor's 109, 1967 and setting it on the white smashed Dll's. But, age and motivation are an issue, one l have a lot of and the other, not much.

 

Yup the want can be strong but the will to do it very weak lol. Been getting beat up with a lot of rain for the last week or so down here in Georgia lost a fair amount of shop time over the weekend since we lost power for about 6 hours. Definitely underestimated the scope of the rebuild on the old 110.



I have also decided I suffer from CRS. My older friends will know that one😂




was very happy to see this arrive from across the pond. I can finish up the steering now





I feel so environmentally conscious. We still have all the wheels on I just forgot to post the video lol

 

It was time to put fuel in it and go for that first fire up










we had leaks😩pressure gauge on the fuel pressure regulator and apparently a hole in the tank under the cradle So back out with both to fix it up

 

Pulling cleaning and prepping the tank



Putting it together



took a break to install the new mudflaps

 

We tried for the first start we have signs of life




well that was a let down, my master carpenter was hard at work though building the rear of the truck out




take 2

 

Stryker needed to take a peek at our rear quarters build progress






Sleep platform coming together

 

Looking great! Stinks about the tank leaking. But, you are doing it right! Can't wait to see it rolling down rhe road.



Yeah, l'm there. The ride out here has been epic.

Two things that are a must, if you ever decide to do this trip. One l have and the other l wish l would have.

1) Window cleaner, use it twice a day and three times on Sunday...lol. The bugs and road grime are immense.

2) Solar panel. Maybe not that big of deal, but when l got held up in Dawson Creek for three days. It would have been nice, not to have to drive around in the blistering heat...just to charge the extra battery.

Also, you're gonna like that power distrubution center module...it has saved me from clawing in the back, to turn stuff off, a few dozen times. It's just nice to say, oops, and push a couple buttons and everything is off.

CRS...use to know what that meant...but CRN (Can Remember Now)...see, it even gets worse.
