Ok I am a POST ***** but a few of you said you enjoyed the pictures.

Onboard Air for the AirRock system plus ARB lockers and to fill the tires after a day of playing. Not a great picture but that is a York compressor and a 175 amp altenator for my onboard welder.



Onboard welder is hidden in the glove box. It really does work out great.



GPS so I don't get lost.......Nice color screen and nice and big so this old man can see it.





That is it for now. If you all want me to stop with the pictures I will.

 

That's quite an impressive rig you got! Keep the pics coming

 

Yep! Pics are good! Keep 'em coming!

Is that REALLY a welder in the glove box? Brand, links, etc. That looks interesting!

 

This is the onboard welder link: http://www.premierpowerwelder.com/index.html

And then I also carry a mig welder in a case. It can hook to the arc welder leads or to two or more batteries. Here is a link for it: http://www.premierpowerwelder.com/re...readyweld.html

And then when I'm out somewhere that there isn't a lot of trees and stuff I carry a Pull Pal: http://www.pullpal.com/

My Jeep is setup for pretty much anything I need and if some breaks down I've got the tools to fix it. I've used my welder on maybe 10 rigs since I had it. The unit also has a 110 AC outlet and I sat one day just running my Jeep while we installed a fence to keep people out of a closed area. It was all rock so we were using roto hammer drills. You couldn't get anything much bigger than my Jeep up there so I was the only power.

 

Dang! That is all rigged out, and in a small package. I like!

 

Dude, first off congrats on the motor, secondly that is a very well built Jeep! Nice looking unit you got there.

 

Whoot Whoot Hot dickity dog am I one happy fool. I just got done putting the bottom end back together. I'd ran into a few issues because a few caps had gotten switched around onto the wrong pistons. I've had this engine apart now since May of last year I think. So crap had gotten mixed up. A good lesson in to not just stamp your rod caps but also mark the rods somehow to each cap. If I had done that none of this would have happened. I'll post some pictures later of it going back together.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter and that you found all your eggs and didn't eat too much chocolate.

 

Well it has been almost a month since I posted last here. I have not done much of anything to the engine since then. I had hoped I was going to find some spare funds and buy a new cam for the engine which was part of the reason for waiting. Ended up not being able to buy a new cam so I am going with the stock one for now. But I do have the HS Roller Rockers in 1:1.7 ratio so that will help some.

Today I spent the day taping up the engine getting it ready to paint it. I know it would have been easier and better to do this before I had started putting the engine together. I have decided on my paint for the engine. The block is going to be Hemi Orange, the Heads & oil pan are going to be Silver & the valve covers and air cleaner are black with silver lettering. What do you all think? Should I do them different? The colors are also Harley colors so the theme works for me since I also ride a Harley. Maybe I'll paint my bumpers and stuff the same way?? I'll have to think about that. I also picked up some header paint to repaint my headers once I pull the old engine.

Pictures to follow when I get some of the painting done.

Oops forgot one question, Should I paint the intake manifold? If so what color? Hemi Orange? Silver? Black? This is a Hughes Air Gap BTW.

And one last question: I'm going to get a Snap On MT/G 2500 scanner so should I just get the MT2500 or is there a reason to get the MTG2500?
Thanks everyone for your replies.

 

Make sure your surfaces are SQUEAKY CLEAN before applying paint.

 

Yep been wiping everything down with Acetone to get it clean. Now if it would just warm up a little.
