Ford LGT Crawler Conversion

Got the power steering pump bracket and tensioner installed today.

Going to pick up some hose and fittings in the morning, I'm anxious to get it done.

Anything new??? Love the build

I've been working on the reservoir. Just fixing up some pin holes, and should have it painted and in later today, hopefully.


EDIT: Just ran out of O2 for the torch, hopefully I can talk the missus into picking some up on the way home.

Picked up some O2 and got the reservoir finished up, painted and installed.



Also have a picture of the push blade piece.

Push blade is finished. I've been working on the hydraulics. I got a 3 spool control valve on sale last week, but broke the camera before I could show it installed.

Anything new

 

[Chopperhed]

Finally found a new gas cap for it, and spent yesterday afternoon soldering and testing the tank. Got it painted up last night. Picked up a new camera the other day so I'll have some pictures soon. Still waiting for the right hoses to show up at Princess Auto so I can finish the hydraulics. Now I have to start thinking about how I'm going to get it off the table.

I'll post some pics later today.

This beasty weighs over 1700 lbs now. I've got some 10" C-channel, I'm going to weld angle iron to it for the grouser to bite on and build ramps. I've got some 4" angle steel for the legs.
