Winch fitted

[solarman216]

Finally got the off roader out of the shed and started work, fitted the winch and removed the rad

 

[solarman216]

And fitted the roll cage, the rad will live inside at the nearside rear for now with the fans fitted to it, it may get a little warm inside but can always kick out a window or two, got to put some tubes in the 16 inch tyres, done the rear brakes just got to pipe up the rad and remove the fuel tank and should be ready for the next session at Slindon, Rick

Yes it was a banger frame, did me well on a quad roll up and down a bank, there is a video some where but unable to find it, Smallfields 2010, Rick

All ready for Slindon tomorrow, was all done by 4pm then found had no front brakes, wheels off again and of course found seized slider pins and no pads got the pads from the scrapper and two good pins managed to free off 3 but 4 th snapped, so drilled it out fitted the spare, all good now but much later than I planned, have to load up in the morning, but weather looks good so should be a good day, here you can see the lack of a rad and the winch battery top right, no time to do a snorkel so this will have to do, Rick

Rad, fans and protector, will have 4 x 5 gallon water barrels in here with generator and pressure washer, prefer to leave the mud at Slindon, and it gives me a little ballast on the rear, Rick

 

[solarman216]

All strapped up

Ready to roll on 750 x 16 s with tubes in, now come on guys and girls need a name for this machine, Rick
