Finish it up and come for a shakedown run at the Gorge this weekend!

I need to fill the coil overs with nitrogen. Can't see that happening before Sat.

As you can tell, I am on holidays today

Got the rear diff full of fluid, same with the D300, bled the brakes, mounted the Coil Over reservoirs, re-mounted the winch solenoid box, and got the tires put together. Just finished fabing the D300 shifter, the paint is currently drying. When it is together I will post another pic.

Even got to go for a quick drive today! The full hydro steering is a lot quicker than the Toy box was

Having a removable floor makes working on this stuff nice

Got most everything buttoned up. Had to change the water pump as well because for some reason the bearings went out on it

Done enough for it's shakedown run though:

First shakedown run happened this weekend:

Did some stuff I did not expect to do for it's first run and it performed above my expectations. The main issues I need to address are bump stop placement and the toy master does not have the volume needed for the 1 ton brakes. The good was that the D300 worked flawlessly and I got on the gas a couple times that would have made the toy axles cringe and did not have any breakage

 

[dwcjwerfner]

Nice!

So, I drew up the following and gave it to Mike:

Did you draw the flippoff guy? Or did you import him some how?
