Wishbone Runner's Build

Ain't that the truth. Maybe I should go long travel so I can jump with my daughter in the runner.

 

Dang expensive and take up all your free time. By the time I get home from work and enjoy time with her and put her to sleep all I want to do is sit on the couch. Leaves no time for working on the runner.

 

Yeah, there is that.

Too late . . . one in the chamber already.

 

LOL, excited and terrified.

 

First part I'm not excited for, but the latter for sure.

 

Lol my son will be one year next month. The diapers aren't that bad, just dont feed em shit food and they won't stink tooo bad.

My boy already loves fast rides and big bumps! He giggles every time I rip thru the gears! The best

 

Congrats. Wouldn’t trade my daughter for nothing. Hell she slept threw most of Moab at rock therapy

 

Haha, that's awesome, looking forward to that.

Thanks! I remember that, it gives me hope that I can maybe take the little guy wheeling next summer. Shes two right?

 

Rebuilt the rear shocks last night to go with the fresh fronts. They weren't leaking at all so left the seals alone, just an oil change and then swapped the smallest two rebound shims to 20's from 12's in a hope to better control hard g-out type bounces. Not really sure if I will be able to notice a difference, or if it will be too much, we will see.

 

She will be 2 in June. Think she had more fun playing in the dirt at camp but she was pretty good on the trails. Of course didn’t do anything overly hard and if i did, it wasn’t with her in the truck

 

Few updates I have been working on for the past few months.

Finished the core support replacement and redid my wiring situation by adding a Bussmann RTMR to a panel I whipped up.





Trimmed the fenders then made some fender liners out of 1/8" ABS, it was a bit too thick and required heat in a few places to make it stay, but came out well and is bombproof. I have some fender trim that I still need to apply. I attached it on the outer edge to the inner metal fender tabs that were bent over, then ran a piece of round 1/4" stock on the inside bolted to the last bits of body fender, and welded to the front radiator support, then ziptied the liner to it.



I have been using Gaia for the past few months on the phone and have been loving it so added a tablet mount and an extra outlet to charge, Samsung Tab E 9.6 should be here tomorrow. I made a bracket that bolts to the radio support and added some much needed rigidity to this piece of trim.

 

And some pics from the past few trips, still need to pull the DSLR pics.

Bracket pics are there

 

Correct. It is very rigid up/down and to the right (passenger). Left is a bit less rigid due to where the bracket is. Going to test it out next week and see if it needs any more help, I have a few ideas for further securing that piece of trim if needed.

 

Not in order.

 

It seems to be a great spot, but definitely needs some reinforcement for a heavier device, I went with the C ball.

 

I'm trying to figure out what Leo is doing in this picture.

 

Looks like he is grabbing some titties LOL.
