What size MC's did you decide to use?

SomewhiteGuy · Feb 5, 2014

Got dual 3/4" and should be able to tune them for bias with the built in balance bar.

How much bigger are the Ultras than the SS? I'd like to switch, but kinda worried about fitment...

SomewhiteGuy · Feb 5, 2014

A little taller, but not any wider. We were hoping they were taller than they are, the top of the headrest hits hadley right in the middle of his head, my prp granprix are a lot nicer and my head hits right in the middle of the head rest. Me and hadley are about the same size.

The seat should breakin after a few rides, I sit a lot lower in my ultras after a rainy weekend at Harlan

Sold the baja ss seats and the replacement ultras showed up today.

Assembled the Wilwood brake system.

2.5" links from WOD to replace the pvc.

And a shot of what I build during the day time.

Good lucking set of channel letters. I've got a small sign shop in alabama and hopefully in the near future I will be big enough to in house fab channel letters, cabinets etc. Right now I mainly do wraps and sub out my fab work....

I called corbeau and talked with them. I had the ultras in my old buggy and my head wouldn't hit head rest. I'm 6'2 230 so they reccomended the bajaxp. I have'nt got to sit and actually push myself down in them and strap in yet but they seem to be a wwwwaaaayyyy better big boy seat.

Brake pedal mounted, I tapped the base plate so the bolts come up from the bottom.

Hadley mounted the Artec battery box and built a mount for the accusump that will also have both winch solinoids mounted on top of it.

Center console coming together.

Very impressive build man, you're definitely a talented fabricator. Keep up the good work and good luck on going pro!

It was cool to see that you're also a sign fabricator. My dad had a sign business for about 30 years and some of my best memories were the late nights working in the shop.

Thanks for the compliment, the sign job fell in my lap and has helped refine my skills but I feel like if I am to continue to learn and build better buggy's I need it to be my day job. Waiting on a call back this week after the koh dust settles.

Lots of little stuff going on today, we went a junkyard run this morning and got a toyota throttle pedal and cable and built a bracket for the engine side.

My little brother handled the firewall side.

Rs, Wilson and hadley mounted fuel tank.

Hadley built Ecu tray.

The shifter cable got routed today also but forgot pic.
In the middle of a packed shop I got the passenger dash panel in and built the tach pod, I still need to clearance dash panel and mold it in but wanted to get a pic.

75 days till d day.
