Time to get the tops mounted to the frames. Originally I planned on welding tabs to the frame and using bolts to attach the two, after staring at it a bit in the garage I decided to use aluminum TRIC-nuts instead (Like Rivet Nuts) as they would be faster and cleaner than tabs.
Here I'm getting...

And setting up the Router to cut.
And away it goes.......This thing is soooooooo sweet!
Mike approves!
Quick test fit on a frame...yep that should work nicely.
While the second frame was being cut we went over all the edges with a router for a...
Time to finished off the bed build that I started earlier last summer.
Last summer when I finished the aluminum adjustable bed frames camping season started and I threw some scrap plywood I had onto the frames and secured them with ratchet straps. This setup got us through the summer but...
Time to finally start posting the TONS of photo's from this summers travels, It's been ages since I've caught the build thread up and with the holidays over it's time to start going through pictures and posting about the numerous road trips that we have taken with the Van this summer.
So I...
When traveling late at night across the open spaces of NV you can never have enough light! Plus I'm not gonna lie, I love the looks of them up there :)

Thanks Mate, we've been really enjoying it. I originally ordered the connector from Amazon but they have been out if stock for a long time.
This place has them as well: https://lockitt.com/low-profile-angled-powerlet-plug.html

Big Bore Piston Upgrade!!
If I can just get it to fit think of the low end torque......although yes fuel mileage may suffer a tad :D
The power piston is out of a 1955 Ingersol Rand KVS Engine/Compressor. The engine is a single turbo natural gas fired V-6 unit that develops 1000hp at...

Next up I needed to change the angle of the remaining tab on the stock shifter...The vice and a giant crescent wrench made easy work of this task.
Rounding the front edge a bit
Now to mark and drill the the hole for the new shift peg.
Metal painted...
Time for a decent shifter!......
I'm one of the few it seams that hates the Urals heal shifter, I find the heal shifter to be awkward at best and very un-ergonomic, it's located way to high and causes one to lift your foot off the peg and twist it a bit to engage the shifter with your heal. I...
Dumped the 20w-50 out of the trans today and installed Redline Heavy Shockproof gear oil. The heavy shockproof protects from 75w-250 and has a viscosity of 75w-90.
The transmission is a lot happier with the Redline, both when cold and hot. Shifts are noticeably less "clunky", especially...
A quick cold start video. The off road mapping in combination with the EJK Tuner is a great combo! Idles super smooth hot or cold and there is a noticeable increase in pep across the throttle range. No hiccups, decel popping etc. A whole different beast compared to the ultra lean stock...
Went out yesterday with the kiddo and put on 65 fun miles. Here I stopped to snap a pic of the bike with the Hanford Nuclear Reactor humming along in the background....making that power!
We also found out that the low fuel light doesn't work :D. I always reset the trip odometer at each...

"How NOT to" add vacuum ports to your throttle bodies.
I wanted to post this section to help others and hopefully prevent some headache for those who also want to add vacuum ports to their throttle bodies. Originally I purchased a couple vacuum...
