The twin hoes plus one

[Sparksalot]

Finished up. The first time the louver caught my eye from the driver seat was a surprise.

Laid out, then ventilated. The aluminum skin was easier than the steel of thecopcar.

Any plans to avoid water getting inside? ( neat work, by the way! )

Both of my hoes have had plenty of water splashed up onto the engine, without any issues. And thanks!

The rubber duck in thecopcar is starting to develop skin cancer.

Not to leave thecopcar out. Knowing the rear hatch release could fail at some point, and I have the weapon locker in the way, I’ve been planning ahead. The mounting bolts can be removed from underneath the body, and the front edge. I predrilled the hole in the lift gate panel to be able, with minimal fuss, release the hatch manually.

I did the same thing with mine !

On thecopcar the original range device failed last year. I had a spare from thethirdtwin because the tune turned off the afm. Yesterday the second range device failed. Was driving slowly and felt the engine lugging. Flipped the DIC, and dammit V4 mode. Back to M1-5 for the time being.

Time for a Blackbear tune - the benefits are myriad. Or HP Tuners if you feel capable.

I cannot remember who gave these quick release awning mounts to me at one of the meetups. I’m finally getting them mounted.

From the did you know file: absolutely NOBODY is making 1/4-20 drop in T slot bolts right now. Drop in is the key. Every available option requires sliding in from the end. M6 are too big at the head. M5 are too small.

Took some poser pics. This spot looks remote, but is 200 yards from my driveway.

[Sparksalot]

It’s subtle, but I relocated a couple of things in preparation for a much bigger project.

Yeah I’m fine.

Decided to logout for a while when one of the mods started strutting about getting his jollies about banning people. Eff that crap.

[Sparksalot]

Winch??

Had one since the one day 40% off sale in December.

Mounting is another thing altogether.

 

[Sparksalot]

I feel a change coming on.

Everyone say cheese.
