Considering that mine is in the shop in a thousand pieces you could be right......

I actually have some nice big tires for my front end now. Picked them up from Motochris on my way back from rasor road. Thanks again chris!

I also still have my rear cage and skidplate. They are just no longer attached to my car at the moment...

Tiko, that drawing looks a lot like what I built for mine.

The A arm setup pretty much forced me to have the sides straight up and down to give the most strength (IMO

)

I still have some bracing to do, and I haven't decided if I will do any small 90* hoops to hang under the cross bar and tie to the supports where I can mount some small fog lights or not. Most likely not at this point, but it wouldn't be hard to do in the future if I need more lights

more little progress lights are bright

i wired the rack

i used a 6 circut panel still gotta clean up the wiring

added a switch for the 2 middle lights

and i was told to add a light to be seen in the dust so i took the bullet lights off the front and added one to the back

i'll only be running 4 lights at a time when needed and i'll be making a new light rack soon when i get some time and money. and hopefully i'll have the new front bumper finished by tomorrow.

is there a way to see if my fuel pump is pumping correctly?

rickosuave1987 · Post by **rickosuave1987** » Sat May 10, 2008 10:34 pm

Make sure the float bowl is full of gas, remove the fuel line going into the carb and put into a safe container then start the car. You can see if the pump is pumping. Just be very careful not to spill or let fumes near anything hot. Maybe use a longer length of hose than the one thats on there...
