What do you build?

[CUCVLOVER]

This tires are super stiff, it's a true full on extreme mud tire for ATV and utv. They are like 8 ply to be puncture proof because you never know what you will find in the holes and swamps

An up armored mailbox. The base is a brake drum off an M915.

It IS the sidewalls holding up those tires:

That 3PSI is OVERpressure. The gauge reads ZERO when exposed to atmospheric pressure. And yeah, 3 lbs is LOW, but probably just enough to keep the bead seated and run on snow/mud all day long.

No baseball bat is ever taking THAT box down!

Finished out some AR15 80% lowers, even did a little custom engraving on the side.

They used a chain on mine.... pulled it out of the ground. The Sheriff found it though.

I built a couple of these

I posted this elsewhere but thought I'd post it here as well. I built a couple of these including all the machine work on the RSP, riveting and parkerizing.

I got to work on the Scrambler a little bit. Picked up the Chevy Performance LS-3 crate engine, 4L70e transmission, torque converter, computers and harnesses a couple weeks ago. The GenRight 6" fenders finally came in yesterday but the Atlas 2 transfer case won't ship until May 31st. I decided to go with 37" BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tires with 18" Fuel wheels. I picked up my Corbeau seats and mounts too but didn't get pictures of them, they're still in the box. Might get it done one day. Lol.

It's shaping up, and sure looks sweet!

The body and all of that sheet metal, it looks like aluminum. That's a little unusual isn't it?

We build these tray paks for the campers we build.

The tub is aluminum, about 3/32", it is made in Canada. Quality is excellent. All the steel tubs that are sold are made in the Phillipines and quality is horrible. I wanted aluminum fenders but GenRight no longer manufactures the front in aluminum. Total weight should still be around 3,000lbs with 430hp.

Okay, so Shark Bait is dealing in aluminum, and it looks like that deck/ tray that you all build though is galvanized steel.

Is that what you got there?

Looks like everyone has some good welding skills! I'll have to post up some pics the next time I use my welder. I have a battery operated welder and I use the batteries from house (and now possibly the 24v from the 5T) so it takes a real project to use it.

Dave there is a distinct chance that I now hate you even more.....

Lol, well, I got to piddle with it a little more. Radiator and fan finally came in last week and my Advance Adapter Atlas 2 transfer case came in Thursday. I had them build it with a 5 to 1 low range and twin stick shifting kit. Hopefully get to work on it some more soon. You can come back up and check it out whenever you like!

Sweet jeep. Whole lot of cool builds in this thread! I will post some of mine shortly.

The housing is aluminum but the gears must be high-strength steel, right?

PS Excellent build!

Yes, the case is machined from billet aluminum with hardened gears. It is a gear driven transfer case and not chain driven. It also has the ability to do front wheel drive only in high and low as well as rear and 4 wheel drive, high and low. I hadn't worked on it since it came in. Still sitting on my bench. My gas company clientele are getting their new trucks in and it's keeping me hopping.
Thank you for the compliment.
