I don`t think i`ll travel all the way to Bucharest, but thanks for the offer...

I started working on the Hägglund again today. First i set it at ride height and put on one of the last few missing tubes: Then i started cleaning up the wiring mess and place all the switches and fuses and electrical stuff: Prepping the ammo can for the ecu: Everything together. It`s...

Well, look out for rust. It`s just everywhere... Except from that you should have a look athe the transmission and clutch. They`re not the strongest thing out there... Fuel consumption is between 13 and 16l/100km... Where in Romania are you located? I`m going to do a Romania trip in the...

Thanks guys. But, i`m not close as skilled as many others out there, i just like trying things... Loaded it all up, so i`m ready to leave this night for an 4 day offroad event:

Thanks. I almost got the feeling that nobody`s interested... :ylsmoke: Installed a volt gauge today: Also checked all fluids and stuff, so i`m ready to leave on thursday...

Mounted the swingout today. The lock: Gasstrut: Everything mounted: Raised the front license plate and put on the temporary radiator cover: Put the camping stuff back in:

Added a table: And finished the license plate mount:

You`re right, the pitch on my prototype was at about 50 degrees, i`m shooting for about 70 degrees on the real thing...

Made the license plate mount today:

Finished the Hilift mount today and put on a bolt that strengthens the swingout mount a lot: This is how i`ll mount the jerry cans:

So i welded the mount to the bumper today: Wheel mount: This is how the hilift will be mounted:

So i started with a rear swingout today: There will be the hilift and a shovel mounted, and a mount for three cherry cans... Then i`ll built a nice kitchen cabinet, skidplates for the engine and transfer case and a nice front bumper...:Wow1:

Thanks. I`ll be back in Canada, and then i`ll visit you... :beer: Here`s the finished grouser design, that i`ll be building:

The guy i talked to at Whistler. How are you doing? I came up with a good design for flat grousers and easy to make tire guides. I'll post a few pics tonight if i get a chance...

I`m not quite happy with my tracks. Maybe it`d work with solid rubber wheels, but it won`t be bulletproof like i want it to be. I want to built them right one time and never work on them again...

Hmm, i thought i could even benefit from that design. Low ground surface in dirt and big ground surface in soft ground and snow. It also adds a lot of traction, don't you think? I already knew your site, but i'm going to look at it again. Still a bit unsure what to do, so I'm looking for more...

This might be true for the USA, but remember, i`m in germany. There are only a few places that laser cut in germany and it costs a fortune to get something made... I never understood that gauge measuring thing. Maybe someone can explain that to me? The tank is made out of 2mm steel, that i...

Well, it`s not that bad if i have to go with steel grousers. At least they won`t really wear at all... I can get conveyor belts for free, so i`ll use them. The snowcat guys use them too, so i think it`ll be fine, even with splicing. I just need to come up with a good and easy to fabricate...

Thanks deepmud, you answered it better than i could have done... :ylsmoke: Funny that i already typed a post about a new track design when i noticed your post. I decided to ditch those tracks today and come up with a better design. But, there`s no reason to change anything else than the drive...

Here`s the Update about the last 3 days. First i finished the second drive sprocket : Then i made the track tensioners: And put on the first track: Finished the second track: And put it on: Then it was time for the first drive. So i put it in gear, sat in the drivers seat...
