Hey plott hound. Hows the bumper going?I hope it is crossed off your list.
Besides that, I'm curious as to to how close you are to taking that thing for a spin.
got that bad boy half on,ive been giving it a stretch everynight after work.been to busy to keep at it plus its been way to hot.only have the winch to wire,install new battery and tidy up the existing wireing then it burnout time.after that ive only got the plow to figure out.
finally got the band back on.went pretty easy after being stretched for 5 days.ran all over the place looking at batterys,bought an the one in the picture from total battery.they were the only guys that really tried to help me out.now i just have to revamp the battery tray to make this bad boy fit.
Any battery group 51 car battery will fit the argo tray. It is also the same battery for a honda civic.
finally went for a burn this morning.sucker runs real well and is smooth to drive.seem to have an issue with transmission jumping out of low gear though.will have to read up on the cause of that then pull it apart.
now i just have to wire up the winch and i am done.
Looks really good there Plott! Hate to hear the low is popping out of gear. Mine jumped out of low one time just after i got it home. Mine was due more to driver error. They do not like to make a hard turn when you are straddling a ditch and the middle tires are in the air. I'm guessing that the L gear may be worn down. I think it would be best to take it out and open it up for inspection.
think im gonna dodge the bullet on pulling the transmission.seems to be a case of driver error,didnt get the gear selector in the proper position.this sucker is a pleasure to drive.if i can only get the air out of the right hand side brake system,it will be near perfect.gotta poke around in it for 9 more hours to get this rebuilt motor broke in.still puffs a little blue smoke untill the rings get their groove on.
