Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

Had a great outing with the local MV guys here in Utah. I had to drop out a day early due to some clutch disengagement issues. The peddle lever connects to a shaft that is mounted to the top of the frame and a shorter shaft then pushes a forked rod that connects to the actual clutch fork. I could not see that either lever was twisting on the shaft so I can only conclude that the clutch fork may have gotten bent or something. Will check it out a bit more when the BOT gets its shower.
In any case the lockers were working absolutely solid and had no issues whatsoever driving where ever I pointed the rig. Ran 25psi in the rears and 35 in the front. I could have gone down to 20ish on the rears since I don't have much weight in there but the tires were biting plenty.
The sprag style transfer case was absolutely killer in the sloppy mud. I never once noticed the front be late to engage or anything like that with the sprag.
Did bend my flag pole for the umpteenth time. I might just remove that thing when wheeling in the trees for now on :).
The 1 to 4 air chuck I made was used several times to lower my/others PSI evenly and raise them back up. Liking that thing and highly recommended.
