What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

Mounted my new RTT! :wings:

It's a Bigfoot hard shell noted on a Gobi Stealth rack.

Since putting the lift and 37's on a couple of weeks ago.. I hadn't had time to trim the rock rails. Finally made some time today.
I have about every type of saw you can imagine and was going to use my bandsaw.. but then realized that the miter saw might work best?

sure enough.. about as good of a cut as you could hope for and way better than I would have done with anything hand held.

hit the ends with rustoleum:

and then JB welded the end caps back in:

should clear nicely now:

...although I don't know if I'm happy with the tire's position in the wheel well - might consider some longer control arms in the rear.

I had to put the doors and windows back on to give it a bath - just in time to get it dirty again this weekend

Hey Geek. I know this if off-topic and I certainly don't want to distract from this thread, but what is that propeller thing in the second to last pic?

It's a para-motor (or whatever other name you want to call it). Basicaly a back-pack propellor to use with a para-glider. They can be used for cross country travel or just having fun...

Although this model looks like a wheeled version:

Correct. It is my flying machine

It is my Nirvana Rodeo mounted on a Carbon Trike.
You can remove/add the wheels in about 5 minutes depending on if you want to foot launch or wheel launch.

My wing is a Dudek Universal.

Sorry.. back on topic: Today on my jeep I installed a dead pedal

 

[Presto88]

Wow! Thanks for the video link. I can't believe that guy unloaded the truck, set up the machine, flew around in a circle, landed, and then packed up the truck in 4 minutes! Wow.

Back on topic, I installed that exact dead-pedal in my JKU earlier this week. VERY happy with it!

The para-motor is cool, the Yeti is cool, the Jeep, meh (very respectful meh), and I suspect that might be a KTM but what is the story with all the tool cabinets?? You some kind of rocket surgeon? That's a serious shop space!

Haha, isn't that what every Expo shop looks like?

This is one of the most amazing things I would have never thought up, totally build something like this... when i finish some other work...

Put the RTT on the WK2 we got a few weeks ago.
