    now for Tech que:
    what does folks think about us putting both "cooling fans" mounted on top of the radiator. we'll put them as pushing fans and the radiator fan will be a pulling fan.

    Too bad it doesn't look like you're going to be trying it out and RiverRock.

    That's some bad news that makes me want to cry. :(

    I would love to be only two hours away from an awesome ORV. You must be somewhat close to Gulches then, right?

    Gulches is about 1.5 hours. i like it, not only is it a great park. But it is cool i get to go through where my mom's family is from in Anderson, SC.

    i hate moving... you loose stuff that you dont want to... by by parts of good. for those who don't know i took a job in Beaufort, SC... so it's time to move. we love the place, but we feel this is better for us in the long run.

    I recently had to do something similar. I feel your pain. You can replace Jeeps. You can't replace your family.

    Updates are way overdue... Neptco19 (Jason) has had this in his garage since we moved down to SC... hunting and pecking at it as he had time... well this past weekend i went up and pulled this ornament out of his garage... Jason has done AWESOME work and hopefully, and i mean hopefully this spring it'll be done for some riding...

    little battery box...

    propane configuration thingy...

    better view...

    motor work... a lot more horsepower after this...
    [​IMG]

    Next to add tabs for the motor mounts... There's enough room for the exhaust pipe to cross behind it under the oil pan and have the engine skid cover it all up.

    Motor placement sucked for leg room so moved it forward....gonna have to redo the radiator mount, got all the 4 link mounts tacked on front and rear, the rear coilovers tacked in, the rear sway bar axle brackets

    Motor moved

    Since franks gone to SC I had to find another Gnome sized person to "test fit" Kyle was about the same size so he was recruited

    I just read threw your build, looks fantastic. Are your cutting most of these parts with a cnc cutter? Such as the batter box?

    Jason does have a cutting table that he uses. i'm lucky and jealous...
