45acp’s DIVORCED build!

so agree

many confirmation

such epic build

 

Best powerwheels mods:


convert to 12v for speed


replace gas pedal switch with variable speed trigger from a drill

 

how exactly do you convert it to 12v

pardon the noob question

 

If its a 6v one just put a 12v in it. A sealed battery would be best but some just use a bunjie cord and an old car battery.

 

They're looking good bud!

 

Yea man. When you be through here again? should have em ready by then i think..maybe..might be waiting on glass still.

 

Couldn't find enough people to cover the shifts We have the most difficult unit in the hospital, so nobody ever volunteers to work there haha. Had to cancel WY/CO and my parents took my kid to the ex since they wanted to see my uncle in CO anyway.

 

Sumbitch..

Well that sucks man

 

Yeah it does. I'd much rather be back home. Too many people here. My neighbor has a staring problem. I'm just in my shorts/tshirt/sunglasses snow-blowing the back yard. Is that a crime??

 

So warm here today! was like 40 here in EC, bout the same by you Jon? Your mountain man beard is probably freaking him out... You gonna mow the grass when ur done blowing the snow off it or what?

 

Yeah it was warm enough, really nice day actually. Weird for WI. Haha, since we were kids we've made shitty igloos in the backyard. We had some decent snow earlier in the week but my son is visiting the ex in Wyo so I thought I'd gather all the snow into a large pile before it all melts or something so we can build one when he gets back.

In what passes for the news, I'm picking up my lower link material today so I can finalize brackets and build the oil pan this week. I'll remove the engine again, get it all cleaned up, work out a solution for making the front clip removable to make it easier to get to and remove the engine whenever I may need to.

Also, been tossing the idea around and decided to make the move to 37" MTRs instead of 40"s (Thanks Russell )
I called Discount Tire today about returning/exchanging the 40", won't hear back til Thursday. I don't think I'll have a problem selling it if need be. But I'll go for 37" MTRs for street use/U4 compliance and at a later point I'd also run 40" stickies for the trails.

 

So what..am I gonna pick em up?

 

It's just Russell's fault that the wheels started turning in my head in regards to making the switch haha. I'll go 37"s regardless of the source.

 

Why? What's wrong with 40s?

 

37"s would be more streetable, U4 compliant, less chance of breaking shit, and most of all... cheaper.

 

Ah gotcha haha

 

Do you still have your washer fluid reservoir? Using it? Still intact?

I can use one. Monte drilled a hole through mine.

 

Just use duct tape!




But no, I cut it up and made my own reservoir awhile back using the OEM cap and debris filter. Isn't there some epoxy plastic repair stuff that you could use? Or for a few bucks make your own? It was really easy, and there are a lot of routes you could go if you decided to do that.

I'll get those plugs and ship em to you along with that lug nut BTW.

 

I was gonna suggest that, tons of ways to seal up plastic, epoxy, plugs etc.

Shouldn't you be busy finishing your truck
