The Bass Boat

I worked on it yesterday. Headers are installed. Shifter boot is also done. Battery tray and also the hydro assist lines are done. Routed the speedo cable and now have a better idea on the exhaust. Thinking it willl be a single pipe out. 2.5 inch is probably all I can squeeze under this thing. It is getting rather tight.
 
Well I got some seats for my birthday. Parents ordered a seat of the race trim seats for it! Mom said she needed to be comfortable in it this summer. SO that means I have to get it done by summer... I think it is time to work on it again.

I may add heat to them. Does anyone have any experience with this?
 
I started the wiring process. It is slow, but it is happening.

Get it done!
 
Thats how I roll! Sam your co-driver is going to have to be a troll.

Well the jeep got loaded up one more time to another garage. This time it is a little closer and indoors. Seems to be working out pretty well. The wriring to the back of the jeep is done. The head lights are also done. I need to pick up a coil and a a few other things and then I can start on the motor and what not. Slow going but with the helpers of csudman and my dog roxie, it is moving along. Also another friend is helpign with the wiring. I am learning a ton, but still making mistakes. THese are just a few pics of the things happening and the help. Hoping to get more done in the next month. I have knee surgery the first week of april so that will slow things down greatly.
 
^X2!!

Don't forget a circuit for the Depth Finder! And where are the rod holders??

Can't wait to here that thing fire...good work men
 
Radiator showed up. No pics. Just a cheap ebat special. Mocked it in to see how many issues there are going to be.
1. Because I am running semi hard mounted body the clearance between the bottom of the rad and the power steering lines is not there. The bottom of the rad was resting on them. Not a big deal. I have some room to mount it up higher and adjust the space.
2. The spal fan is to thick for the space btween the rad and the water pump pulley. Not so sure on this on yet. I could off set the fan to one side of the pulley and build a shroud. Any ideas. I'll get some pictures tomorrow.
 
Done yet? Buggy is out of the shop this week...Cage?
 
Wiring away. I'd like to have the wiring done before it comes down for the cage work Sam. Heard you had a good Saturday btw

Made a little progress tonight. Not sure how to wire the alternator. Looks like I need to add a ballast or something. I wrote it down but left it in the garage. Think we got the starter figured out. But we tried to test it and got no where. So who knows.

Probably about 30hp. I picked it up from the used nascar store. and It won't hold a charge. So I guess its a $20 core.
 
Got the fan mounted. Anyone see an issue with it?

Well went and tested the lights and other wiring tonight. Only one small fire out of a 20 year old bulb. Need to build a ground strap for the motor.

Made a lot of progress today with csudman. He was a huge help today. Hopefully I'll start wiring the dash this week. All that's left under the hood is the wiring for the gauges.

Lights up. The power ports charged my phone as well. This will be it for a while. Knee surgery is Thursday.

Fishin and wheelin all in the same day sounds pretty good.

Haven't made much progress as the knee is slowing me down. But I did get the tranny cooler and lines ran and mounted. No pictures cause its boring stuff.

Need to find a floor mount dimmer switch and also a throttle cable for a CJ, or a YJ.

Quickly labeled the dash so I would remember what does what. Also csudman got the relays mounted and the common ground finished. Slowly making progress
