Subway4X3 Shameless Copycat Build

I froze when I was camping this weekend. It was 4 at night, felt like -12.

 

I can't believe you did that. It's like 17 outside right now and unbearable.

 

Oh it was death! Both mornings I could barely feel my feet. Even though i had a 0 degree sleeping bag

 

You shoulda got a -30 degree sleeping bag.

 

@taczilla wanted to see pictures of the aluminum skids you had @Subway4X4

 

Here ya go

 

I copied @Crom 's ARB Tire Inflator with Gauge modification.
Guidance is here.

Original hose and air chuck is the the left. Completed mod is on the right.


Now I can save my back and knees while performing this important task of airing up my tires.

It's the little things in life that make life so much enjoyable...

 

so much better! lol

 

Bump! does this thread have any updates??

 

Just did my non-snorkel mod:


Brings the intake 5 inches higher than the OEM fender
well location.


Now I can go 1foot AND 5" deeper than this:


Stole this idea from @Sub-Zero

 

Finally upgraded to some quality impact tools.

That looks like hi speed wrenching! I bought a set of ratcheting wrenches for the snorkel install and holy buckets are those convienent...I can't even imagine impact tools.

 

STOLE a 7/8" shackle at a garage sale this past weekend for 50 cents. Need to cut-off the hook.

 

Gonna sign up for a beginner welding class at the community college. It's starts in March. Can't wait!

Back to school I go!

 

@stairgod - Some info on spindle welding/gusseting

 

Thanks Floyd. Ended up reading the whole thread

 

You're welcome Mitch.
Make sure when you weld my spindle gussets, you preheat the spindle, run hot, and eliminate that weak spot please.

 

Just ordered welding crayon. Have rock wool insulation to wrap it in to cool.





Welding price just went up.

 

My consult fee went up too. LOL

You can save monies if you weld @HolyHandGrenade 's with ice cubes.

 

what do you plan on building? Maybe you can weld my bumper together for me when I get the pieces cut out
