Well worked on the rig all weekend and really got some shit done. Mounted the Fire Extinguisher Got my roof panel all made. View from the rear top. View from the front top Got my coolant bottle mounted. Got my hydro steering hoses made up today and temporarily installed. Hoses mounted on the ram Oh can't forget about my big ass P/S cooler Started to take it all apart so I can check it all over and fix up all my un welded joints and send it off to get sand blasted hopefully this weekend. Getting Closer

Darren, you should rethink the fire extinguisher location. Branches and stuff will be tearing at it all the time. Rest is looking good.

Well after staring at the buggy for a couple of days I think I'm ready to take it to a buddy's place and use his hoist and take it all apart so the frame can go get sand blasted and epoxy primed then painted. All loaded up. While its there, I will clean up and rebuild and weld the diff's.

Is that trailer going to be enough to haul it around, it seems a bit light duty.
