Lookin' good!

the trial run went great, only minor problems, PS leak, and a fuel leak, both were cause of loose fittings. It did everything I wanted it to do.
Things to change..
My choice of muffler was BAD, it was way too loud.
The amount of heat in the cab was too much, I need to remove the doors, and get a small fan.
I need hydro assist.
The air shocks are too soft, im going to experiment with the amount of oil, before i change the valving.

Hey John, you have probably already seen this article by BillaVista on Pirate, but it seems to have good info on how to adjust the air shocks with oil, etc...

That sequence of pics up the ledge on Daniel is great. I see too many 'tires-off-the-ground' pics at that spot. You keep all 4 planted with that new netup.

I have been dealing with an unloading issue when going down hill, and turning. First change is to look at my 4link, and see what improvements I can make. The uppers needed to be more flat, so the frame side needed to come down, and the axle side needed to go up.





Had to move my suck down winch.



I still need to reroute my exhaust, add a bump stop, and re-install my limiting strap.

looks good John..
