the brumby build

[spdcrazy]

well they started out as tractor lights with 55w flood lights in them from napa. but after some searching i found a 4 3/4in sealed beam to fit in as a replacement. and it was a 100w aircraft spot light. so i wired it up with 12g wire. and threw a 30amp relay in the middle. works great. i have a bit more work to do to get them shinning threw my grill a bit. i mounted them behind the grill and they still shine pretty well.

a guy can build a set for well under a hundred bucks. and new bulbs are easy to find. only cost about 15-20 bucks per replacement light. and the housing is rubber so it should hold up to rocks and junk pretty well

if anyone is interested i can get part numbers for you.

got some more done to the brumby. cut away part of the middle bracing in the grill for my lights. then installed prerunner fenders with some new rhino lining. bought the fenders for 200 bucks already primered, and from a good friend and fellow TRS member, 84projectford. thanks again james!

still need to rebuild my scoop. and paint the hood with rhino lining. gonna even up painting all the silver black with the rhino lining, and leave the red.

i also fixied my heater and my power steering leak, and finished up my transfer case replacement.

next on the list is some EB james duff coils, new upper and lower coil buckets, and some steering for the new found flex

ohh and never worry about dropping that ice cold beer again, with the new Rhino Lined beer bottles!

painted the hood today. should have pics up tomorrow when its light enough. maybe i'll take a drive to the woods too

 

[spdcrazy]

hoods painted. now on to the doors and roof. but i'm not in any rush for that yet

went squirrel hunting today. ended up being more of a scenic drive through the woods to a look out over oak creek canyon. but oh well. good pics either way

i picked up some jeep coils that measure 20in in free length, did some minor modifications and they were on the b2! here's the new flex shots.

i NEED to do the steering tho, its almost undriveable. exactly like "thatguy" had.

i need to redo my radius arms, and redo my coil buckets, still trying to figure out how i am gonna do that. might find some jeep coil buckets and go from there. this would keep me from having the issue of the coil bowing out in any direction due to a flat coil bucket and the not flat coil on the top.

also need to run dual shocks on the front. any reason to pt both in the back, or one in front and one in back?

i got my new steering under the truck. not perfect by any means but so far it works.

3/4 3/4 heims, with 5/8 mis alignment spacers and 1in tube ID spacers. throw those on the ends of some 1.5 .25 wall dom and its wheeling time!

thanks ruffstuff!!!

good to see you got the steering done. How often do you get snow there?
