You guys really like the top end stuff!!

I am looking more like this. Nice thing with a clip on is you can change weapons without loosing center and use with reflex or regular scopes.

That is even a little pricey for me, I think gen 2 is just fine.

I like the idea of a clip on.

Hmm, hunting from boats mean they can't chase you.

He is way farther ahead than I am for sure!

What do we call you??

Anyway glad to see you here.

Sent you a PM.

I have a 5000 watt Troybuilt with a Briggs engine. Noisy but powers about everything. The 3000 I have in the TH is a much quieter and runs off the TH fuel station so there is 40gal there of run time. Both have their place in the long run. 5000 for 220v and lots of power and the 3000 I could run a long time using the house solar that gives me 1500 watts when the power is out.

Did a little more with the Wen, namely a run time test. With a 925 watt load (little over 1/2) it ran for 7.5 hours and never missed a beat. Thats on 1 gal of fuel. Started on the second pull (1st was a lame pull) with older reg gas. it didn't seem as quiet and showed 62db but it was up against the fence. Think I need to try it sitting in the yard with nothing around to reflect the sounds. You could here it, but it was not loud at all.

Then I checked the oil. It was full but way dirtier than what I expected, so I changed it again. There was a little black on the magnetic dipstick but it had to be rubbed off. I will put this down as not enough break in time. I mean it uses $1 of oil so what is the harm.

Hour gauge worked great and no sign of any leaks or issues when I pulled both side panels off. I'll mount the other on the big gen

Normal, the more you do, the more you find to do.

It looks ready to get out of the garage!!!

Now that would be a road trip! I need to get it running (darn alarm wiring) and fix the very common roof rust. Still a small project to get to, finishing the patio today!

98 Blazer and 91 Suburban (not Spartan). Maybe the XR600 and the Samurai. I just have to many projects and need to thin em out and improve cash flow.

I thought about it but we are talking 3-5 years. Here in Ca you get a CDL at 16 if you pay up the wazoo for lessons. No drivers ED anymore so most wait until they are 18 now. 

Insurance is high here too for what I have and I need to cut the fleet down for parking and $$$ flow.

Hey, we had one of those and loved it. Got us to Yosemite and taught me to drive in it.

Getting it all fixed up for the new owners.....

Yep. I will loose some on this but want the most I can get without going nuts. Its actually pretty clean inside, almost no smoking smell left. Fabreeze and LOTS of freah air going through it. Now the 4x4 works as it should and it will pass smog. The new tires and wheels along with a rebuilt front end should help it sell fast.

My pools just 6ft and I might try it there or did the side get you?

ouch!!

Come on guys he is trying. I mean he did finally try the bucket fuel tank after several months. At least it looks like the timing is OK, someone did mention that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Don't dead fish float tummy up,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The head looks padded like they meant to do it, but you would think some other support would be there too??

Isn't the safety wire supposed to be wound into the hole?

Love the hooker card. 33 men on board, right.

Was that Dustoffs Catfish getting filet'd?

If you look earlier in the thread you can see the muffler was blown out good. At least this uses 3 bolt flanges on each end. I spent more time getting it off than unbolting it as there was a xmember there.

Next come this little vacuum switch. Mounts on top of the transfer case and sends vacuum to another actuator under the battery that locks the front axle (simple GM, right) The transfer case is actually switched via a dash switch for actuator on the transfer.

What has been happening is when I cruise the front end was trying to engauge and I had to cycle the 4x4 button as I drove. Simple temp fix was I cut and plugged the line until I can replace the $15 switch.

Did an RnR on the console cover. They sell a plate that fixes it. First I filled the entire base with a think epoxy, flared the edges and screwed-riveted it in. After drying a couple days.

Now that I am moving some I did a little on the Blazer. I need to flip this now, just to small and it did what I needed for a month or so.

The cat rattles like HELP and it shows a CEL 420, bank 1, cat efficiency below threshold, so I pulled it and got a new Walker bolt in.

The center console was broken, so pulled that out and both seat recline handles were gone.

I mean not in the yard, parts trucks on cl. I see suburban stuff all the time. Not to rub in but lots of xj's in yards.

Maybe look for a wrecked one for the motor. To bad your so far, some guy wants me take one from him, I just don't have room.

Is has everything else,,,,,,,,

That front does need some protection, why not a jack and a sink.
