Got a little excited with the Plasti-dip today. Never tried it before, but I think I like it

I'm loving the randomness of the items in the pic!

 

[Luckychase5]

Ya, I may have too many projects going on right now. Anybody need a non ABS hub? I can bring it to Squamish with me at the end if July if you want Redthies

 

[redthies]

I could use it (the hub/rotor) for my '94, but might need it sooner than that. As soon as I get the wheels off and see what's up I'll let you know. Like you, I have way too many projects on the go. My "garage" is rammed full of miscellaneous debris!

Got a few boxes to get to this week, and hopefully I can find a welder to use to finish my rear bumper

Anyone have an idea where to put a 3 inch hole for my light switches in the dash of one of these beasts?

3"!! how big is that switch? You could make a plate and put it where the little cubby to the right of the radio is. That way you might not have to cut anything just un-screw the cubby. Thats what i am planing for a fuel pressure gauge.

Sorry, it's a set of three switches. The little instillation plug is 3". I think I will go into that slot, just need to find some plastic to put in that slot

Our house is officially sold and we are off for the year! We are living at my buddies shop while I finish work and get Han all set up. Squamish BC will be the first stop! You can also fallow us on Instagram at @thepegasusadventure or #thepegasusadventure
Adventure on people!!

Got to work on all these boxes

Before tearing out the interior

Just a little 3.06 and .243 ammo I found hurried under the seats after removing them

 

[Luckychase5]

Seats out

Sound deadening down

The little wife shampooing the seats

Pulled the dash to take out the cubby and make a switch mount for the lights

 

[Luckychase5]

Ready for the road trip to BC!

Installed this today. Still looking for a brushguard to mount it on , but if I can't find one it will be going on the bumper. Hope everyone is doing great! Adventure on!

What does the border crossing guide tell you? All you need to know is: Don't bring your guns (unless you are on a hunting trip with an outfitter), don't bring fresh fruit, veg or meats, or more than $10,000 in cash (I wish!!). The same rules apply going north for 'Muricans, or going south for Canucks. Just answer the questions, and don't offer any info they don't ask for! See you in Squampton!

I was actually reading about the firearms part and our dog. Found it in a coffee shop in Montana when I had 6 hours to kill waiting for my plane, pretty boring read.
But I got my switch panel done today, just need to finish the wiring for the other lights
Here it is lit with the 50% and stripe switch to the left

Now that looks interesting. Can you write a little more about the souns deafening? How long did it take you to take the seats out, carpet out, spread out the ? (Dynamat?), put everything back in? How far up the firewall did you put it? How far is possible without taking the dash out?
And, most importantly: is it worth it? I'd guess with the huge cummins up in front, there's a lot of sound coming from there - or how loud is the tranny etc?
Sorry for the questions, I only did this stuff to vanagons with the engine in the back - and it helps a LOT there. But it's a work I could imagine putting into Priscilla as well - unless you want to do it for me, now that you have the experience


Thanks,
Mike
