This is the winch i`ll get to use as a core: This is the hydraulic drive i`m going to use: "Just" need to look how the winch is geared and how i can mate them together. Started cutting some steel today: Then i started mocking up the front hydraulics: Cleaned the ram up a bit...

Nope, should work just fine. Got the hydraulic drive for the winch today:

No, it`s perfect as it is. Works out like planned. Didn`t plan to cut off that much thought... Made the seat mount first today: And finished the rear part of the cab: Also bough myself a plasma cutter. Not the best but better than nothing...

Thanks Allan. :smiley_drive: Started by cutting more stuff off the cab today: This will be the new door opening: Then i started building the rear of the cab: Also got a new vice today:

Didn`t get much done lately, my grandmother passed away a couple days ago. But i could get a few minutes for the shop. What i did? Of course, i cut off another part of the cab: Didn`t like it, so i cut off more: Then i finally started putting on new stuff :

Yeah, i1´m in war with this pos car. It`s like the fourth time i have to pull the front completely apart... :mad::mad:

Got the seat today: Looks like the perfect spot for it: But then the serpentine belt blew up again on that pos audi, need to fix that: :mad::mad::ar15:

Well, that would`ve been to easy, right? :ylsmoke: Ok guys, need some help with the winch: I`ll be getting a hydro motor, that will be used as a direct drive on the drum. This gives me about 4000lbs pulling force at 50 yd/min. Drum will be 2 3/8" diameter. Do you think that .158 wall is strong...

Sure, that`s on my "want to build" list... :drool: The cab is to tall for the crane, so i used a ratchet strap: Cut of the front part: Placed it on the frame: Changed the frame a bit for the front end loader: Tacked the cab on: Started rebuilding the front part: Finished...

Started building the frame: Got rid of all the axle accessories: Shortened it: And put it in the frame: Then we put up the "may tree": After that i had a couple comrades from the fire department help me to bring the cab in the shop : Had to build the driveshaft...

Changed my plans quite a bit today. First i wanted to finish the rear car first, but i talked to a buddy today who is a car body and sheetmetal guy. He said he has a week off work now and doesn`t know what to do. I said great i got some work for you. So he started pulling out the windows of the...

Yeah, well, first plan was to complete the rear car so it is up and running and then start on the front one. But now i decided to just weld up all the stuff on the rear one, put it back together and set it in (outside :( )storage. I think i need to have the whole thing together before i can...

Those were awesome times back then. Hopefully we can do that again... :wings:

We have a saying in german (hopefully translated right): The day has 24hours and there`s the night too. :ylsmoke: Made a diff cover first: And welded a few hours: Nice to have a welder with 100% duty cycle at 200amps... Going to build a tranny cover tomorrow and probably give it...

Started welding it today. To get some airflow going i took a blower motor and hooked it up to a battery charger: Started with the joint: Still regaining control on my right hand, so no welding porn this time: Made some gussets: And welded them in: Had some help to remove the...

Spent the better part of the day finishing that jeep driveshaft thing: At this point i realized that it`s not going to work. Piece of **** Jeep driveshaft cost me 2 days of work, i was about to lit everything. Then i decided to do it like i originally wanted and hope it`ll hold up. So i used...

Fabricated some gussets today: Made a sparetire mount: And started with the driveshaft: Bought one from a Jeep because i was told it would have enought angle: Well, that`s by far not enought: Didn`t want to scrap it again, so i thought of something: Had a new boot for...

We've been together in Canada a few years ago. Really enjoyed that, hoping to do that again and eventually move over to Canada in a few years. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/63891-Tour-de-Canada I'm cutting the toolsteel on my power hacksaw, but it really eats up the saw blades...

It was finally time today to build something i wanted a long time ago: I think you got it, i made a set of dimple dies. This is how it works: Drill a pilot hole: Punch the hole: And dimple it: The result: This one is a gusset for the light protection bar: Made two sets for...
