Project Jungle Rot

Here is my friends brilliant solution for the fuse box. He fabbed up a mount and here it is. About as far from potential water as it can be.

Also did an H4 conversion with Hellas They are just the 50/65 watt. Ill se how I like them. I might bump it to 50/100 later.

Here is the plan for the rear winch. I got a great deal on a Ramsey RE12000.

It will go into a skid/mount under the bed. This is a piece of 1/4 plate put in a brake. The winch will go inside and be nice and protected.

I had panel made for the batteries, winches, lights, fan, etc. 12v guy made it. Its the GLO panel, Ill get pics up. Its pretty slick. It will be mounted to the spreader bar on the cage.

The next little bit is getting the throttle cabel in, clutch rod in, PS hoses made and the wiring ran.

Ill post up when I get something new worthy

Wow - Mega progress. Looks great TND

Can't wait to see the finished product. I vote go for the Rhino grill, but paint it black to match the front. I plan on running the same grille painted black.

Very nice cage work!!!

What seats are those?

Seats are from an MRAP.....keeping with the military theme. They are very comfortable, well at least they are while I sit in the truck making turbo whistle noises

Bulk upload time again.

I had a panel made by 12voltguy. It has my ignition, front and rear winch controls, battery controls, and of course switches for lights, etc. I had it done with circuit breakers instead of fuses.

Next was time to address the rockers. Aside from being metallic swiss cheese and housing a rodent and babies, they needed some love. So they got cut out. Had two pieces of 1/4" plate sheared and formed the rocker from that. They are welded to the frame with DOM and tied into the cage supports going to the frame in the front to prevent peeling. They will also act as sliders and be able to support the weight of the vehicle.

The outside of the rockers were capped with 22ga sheet. 1/4" flat stock was welded into the V to provide internal resistance to collapsing
