P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[Delton]

I meant to show off the badarse bungs a great friend made for me on the rear. They are double ended which means I can connect a tube bumper to them. The guy is a genius I tell ya.

I'd need permission to mention his name. Don't want people bugging the crap out of him to make a set unless he was cool with it.

Everyone needs a bung.

While swapping my diff fluid over to synthetic I noticed the rear diff vent line had come loose from it's connector. And sure enough this came out of it. It wasn't much so it hadn't been loose long. Luckily I have a gallon of dino diff oil to flush with. I'll tend to it Sunday.

Yeah I got lucky. I've had em a helluva lot worse than this lol. It was still thick and just barely off color. Couple of flushes and she will be good as new.

I'm off work Sunday so no work til next Thursday. 4 days in a row off will sure come in handy. By Thursday I hope to have a totally assembled, ready for takeover, machine. If I can find a metal brake to bend my roof that is. Don't want to weld that lip on but may have to.

If I only had one more week to work with. Got 2 sticks of 1.75" left over and been seriously looking at exoskeletons.

The bungs would be what stops me on cages. May have to play around to see how hard it is to make some.
