Congrats on your truck, where do you get it at.

Different engine compartment design- nice and strangly interesting.

Dave is a great guy to deal with, and enjoy the mule.

Bring extra set of batteries, and jumper cables- and a good friend to help out. Good luck john.

A couple of pics.

I would have to agree with Heavysteven,- these trucks could be expensive and undependable- you'll need a good source for parts, and a good selection of tools- big truck size, have mechanical ability or pay somebody else to work on your truck, and once you take it for a few long trips, and feel...

Let the fireworks begin.

:ditto:

Any work done to the front end recently.

The heater assembly come out of a 80ish chevy pickup. You'll have to make a 3 inch hole in the firewall to allow the petruding motor to set past the firewall, and then 2) 1 inch holes for the heater core inlet and outlet connections. There will be 4) 1/4 inch housing mounting bolts that also...

It was bought to my attention that the bars were sightly in the way of the head light beam at night ( I don't drive these trucks at night).. but you never know whats planed for us in the future. :roll:

Too much free time lately. :roll:

Here is another look at the tow bar receptical - also as a front mount attached to the winch. But I have been playing with the idea of mounting the bars under the front bumper into the same bracket.

As far as weight conserns on the front bumper, I have been looking into putting a hydraulic 12 volt pump with a storage tank and valves with 2) detachable hydraulic rams placed into a welded cylinder placement behind the bumper and placing the rams inside the cylinders with a quick disconect...

For you Sean anytime.

The A frame winch crane in front will lift a lot more than the rear crane is only rated at 3,500 lbs all the drawn in, and 800 lbs all the way out.

The red button is for the 160 amp relay for the rear, otherwise there is power going to the rear of the the truck through a #2 welding cable attached to the crane. The heater core is out of a chevelot pickup about 35,000 BTU I was told and mounted right in - more than enough heat and air flow...

Try air pressure to the tank inlet with a rag wraped around the opening ( restrict the pressure - don't over pressure) and disconect the hose to the motor and attach a length of rubber hose to it- apply pressure to fuel tank and have lots of containers near by.

As far as the crane, I picked it up a auction about a year ago along with a truck body for $400 sold to the truck body for scrap, rebuilt and lengthen the hand held remote, and had the electric motor for crane winch rebuilt. I tryed to install a small gas driven motor with a HD alternater I had...

Couple of pics, when I get bored and have nothing as far as work- with lots of time on my hands of latley, and work is slow and very slow. And I like to work on projects- but unfortunately nobodys around to help most of the time. Hence, what to build to make my life easier with a limited...
