Did a walk around my M36, checking for sunday. There is a possibility we are going to an offroad weekend.
Sadly we are not allowed on the routes, too big they say, only on the main grounds, so I expect just a little humps and bumps, just like the circuit a while back.
Loaded the K30 with a car/truck lift.
Drove it on the lift, get it up, put the M36 in front, drive the K30 in.
Put the dropside down, to get out with the windows closed.
Still need to offload, have ramps for that.
Used mine to play on a dirt bike track nearby. Free driving 11.00 till 16.00 on the track for only €25.-
Little movie a passenger shot with my Phone:

Exhaust is patched. it took a few hours of patching and frying everything together.
I can give a link to the picture site.--->>> http://www.summerpowernights.nl
Because it seems my exhaust is modified, we try to weld it first.
A complete set is €525,- at truckpartstrading.
Ow well. I try to be ready on saturday. For the car meet.
With a little help, finally changed the fuel filters.
The old primary filter was twice as long as the new one, but the new has original part nr.
Then the secundairies..
Bled them, unscrew nr 1, hey, no filter inside but a load of slime and goo.. Unscrew nr 2, yep, filter and a lot of slime and...
My bad about the lines, misunderstood Scramblers directions
I moved the generator to have more room. It helps a lot! Now to find a helper to hold the canister.
By the way, the filter I got is not so long as the canister and looks to have like some sort of stone lining.
The secundary filters are...
Tried to change the primary fuel filter.
Put the generator aside, drained the filter, almost nothing came out...
When i went to unscrew the fuel lines, so tight, i could not lossen them, it started to rain..
Since my deuce stays outside, i chucked every tool inside and went home..
We finally finished putting the bows and cover on.
Washed the M36, put merdc camo on en loaded up some stuff for the trip to the UK.
On the way home, the generator started to overcharge, so now resolving this minor issue by checking belts, grounds and cables.
To come back on the coconut fuel.. in a 3rd world country, don't know wich one, they make fuel out of these things..
On topic: I am considering Tea Tree Oil to put in the tank :idea:
Me and scrambler adjusted the clutch pedal, adjusted the valvetrain, put some grease almost everywhere and took a wheel off for cleaning the mud of from last weekend. Right hand side front wheel had about 2lbs of mud and clay in it, left one was clean.. Steers lighter, runs more smooth, picks...
Well, I went to the local car meet. There was a dragster demo and a 4x4 demo. The 4x4 guys put me up to do the same as they did. Needless to say I got stuck. The local recovery company is one of our sponsors, so he went to get a recoverytruck and winched me out. (enter-key doesnt work in this...
Just put on the bows, together with my cousin. Because it is an M36A2, we need 7 bows, but because of some failed/rusted corner pieces, we stuck to 6 bows. Maybe putting on the tarp next weekend.
