Buggy Build *Pics

Does that oil pan still have the big sending unit on the side? I can't see one in the pic. I don't have room for one with the front driveline I need to run.

Bart it's just the low oil sender, and yes it unscrews easily. So you could just plug it or cap it off.

Too cool, thanks. I'll order the same parts.

I just thought about it and you could just run a plug from the inside so the head was internal and would not stick out

Kiel,

Your other knuckle is here.

Even better. Good thinking.

Been a while since an update so here it goes. Got some dimple dies from sexton offroad a while back and finally used them on the fenders and shock hoops. Worked great, actually pretty easy. Bought some headers quite a while back, but had some clearence issues so I hacked them up and made my own down pipes. Finishes the rest of the exhaust also. Then I decided to try some fo that ceramic header paint in oragne so we will see how it goes. Got the rear axle all wrapped up too.

You'll be too far behind me for it to matter But I can remove discs to make it quieter for you old guys

Well apparently you missed my super trapp muffler thread, where it was decided they rule I don't have a ton of room so we will see how it goes.

Thanks, and yes it is going slow you don't have to tell me I'm shooting for the thanksgivng day run hopefully. Radiator coming in tomorrow, got one of my brake pedals on friday, some hood pins, steering getting finalized. So some big steps:greg:

You're ricing that thing out w/the Supertrapp. They belong on Volkswagens and motorcycles, you b*tch-ass Nigerian!

Ah well, you'll be broken of the rice habit when you fire it up and soak in the glory of V8 POWER!!!!

I'm proud of you, you're doing a killer job on this thing... gay orange headers and all.

 

[Kiel]

Boxed in all my lower mounts last weekend, then yesterday and today got my radiator and fan mounted all up. Got a new camera also, so maybe better pics

 

[Tacoma]

Pics still suck. Get PowerTools, use the image resizer, set to 800x600 for everyone.

So the exhaust runs under the seat???? I like the orange.

Whatever, you guys are lucky you even get pics That exhaust is just sitting there. But it will pretty much run at the same length just between the flat belly and the floor

You'd be better off using your cell phone to send pics to me, then I could post them for you. They'd be 4x as big.
