Anything is legal today. Not right, but legal.

Looking good.....I should build a snorkel for the Circus Wagon...hmmmm
Me too. Like that white paint without the red drops all over it. Amazing how much can leak out of a tiny little fitting
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Amazing how much can leak out of a tiny little fittingI'm hoping my leak is from the trans pan gasket. it has the hydraulic fluid recommended to me from folks on here, so o guess we will see what my trans guy says about it. hahah. that lycoming (sp?) may just very well end up as engine paint on the next cummins I aquire. hahah. I am fond of the industrial teal green though..

I am fond of the industrial teal green though..I just drained my entire tranny system for my flex plate issue, the tranny looked like new inside a very very small amount of metal on the magnet and that is after 45K miles the hyd fluid still looked and smelled good. The only draw back is if it's really cold the tranny will "whine" until the fluid gets warmed up. I am very happy with the JD fluid.

I still have a small leak, I believe from the pan gasket. but since it's not a crucial piece to finish the truck, it will be addressed once it's driving.. and it'll end up with a B&M deep pan with temp sensor port eventually. it's the only gauge I have that doesn't do anything at the moment, but wanted it there when I wired it all in so I knew what I was working with and could make the wiring as neat as possible. I'll just wait until the deep pan goes on to fix the gasket unless it looks like that might take awhile.. also, it never really gets 'really cold' here. hahah. so I might be in decent shape so far as that goes. there's a brake fluid leak on the pass caliper that needs to be addressed.. but other than that I think the 'stopping' is just about buttoned up. id like to put a line lock in for the rear brake/parking brake. that'll do away with the cable and foot pedal for the Ebrake as well. I have a place for it once we get it going, just plumb it in after the fact. next hurdle is bolting the top down, finishing up work on the bed and painting that. then mating the two back together for the first time in 8-10 months. the open stake pockets have been capped with sheet metal to prevent water from entering and rusting the inside. some more tie down points will be welded in place before it gets line-x'd. we will also be adding a 5th wheel mount that bolts to the frame and is accessible through a cubby hole in the bed. (I believe that is still his plan) not that it'll tow all the time, but would be nice to have the option to hook a trailer with my moms CJ on it and cruise to the beach for the week
This is a sweet build. Was kind of hoping it would go up for sale, jus sayin :-)Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I totally enjoy watching this build!We have to have a pic of that thing sitting next to SquareD and Sarge...Kinda like a reunion of long lost cousins!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

So you and your dad don't do this kind of fabrication work professionally?
Isn't the battery in the driver's foot well going to make things a little cramped? :o;)
