over coming the difficulties

If you ask nicely Frank may let you park it in the back of the Bedford if it rains.....

be fine we will have a half screen and doors by then i hope and if it all fails i got us sorted with a nice set of gortex hahahaha but then parking in the Bedford sound good (and defiantly not cheating at all its called a picky back hahahahaha)

I know where there is a good D2 for sale. Save you a lot of bother !

Admin:  25 point deduction, use of good & D2 in the same sentence !!!

See admin have got/been on the Christmas spirit again!     

Its terrible the way admin abuse their privileges and penalise you lovely fundraisers.

Ps. Anyone want a really really nice d2!

Admin: 100 points deducted for the use of "really nice" and "d2" in the same sentence.
Doh - can't deduct points from a Marshall  - penalty is escalated to no pies on a Monday

penalty is escalated to no pies on a Monday - No worries there Mark; double up on the Tuesday  

sorry not looking at the mo,

have got a cb and a few bits now sat on the bench so really need to get down and fit some of this stuff now.

oh and the Sgt mess was good enough to allow us to collect and we got 177.86 which wasnt bad and they looking at another donation from selling of some old silver so big thanks to the mess for that.

well had a week off with the run up to Christmas so i go on and sorted one of the weaknesses in the rzr.

well its designed to be an solo off roader so perfect in every way except the protection of the radiator.

its pretty weak to say the least



and with us being surrounded by big trucks we dont wont to be out with a small stone in the rad.

so draw out a center design



then cut and shape



test fit (with a little trimming here and there)




spend three hrs marking and punching all the holes



the spend two days drilling around the wife giving you grief over the state of the kitchen hahahaha

then a bit of primer



then cover with some strong load bed paint so it got a bit of impact protection

and you have a nice strong rad cover that should keep out the rocks hopefully



now i just need some red and white hi lights to make the badge stand out.

now to get on and finish fitting this



to get this fitted




cheers for looking

Nice to see somebody is taking it seriously  

got to try lololol,

WOW!

Top Effort Mate!

Dan

thanks im a tinkerer which i suppose come with being in to 4x4's of all shapes and sizes and love saving money too hahahah, so if i can make something or at least give it a try i do if it dont work out nothing lost hahaha



fitted it and gave it a good 75 mile run today and seem to work fine no temp difference on the gauge so should work just fine

Very neat Mr C. Great that you've tested is and all is fine - would be a shame to have to switch off your air-con on the rally!   

Onwards and upwards.   

so it christmas and i have down tools but just wonted to share a new project with you.

i knocked these up to fix the cb under the dash.



but i have come across a small issue im going to contemplate over the holidays, how to make it all water proof cause other wise one rain storm the cb is done for.

here is one possible solution???? open to other ideas.



oh and started work on the light bracket

Sorry, but the plastic box is definitely NOT an acceptable solution although I'm unable to offer alternative suggestions  

Hahaha will have to have a look about then, which ever route I go its a temp solution cause once Weight isn't an issue I'll be building an over head unit with sterio and speakers but just don't have the spare weight for it atm

Ohhhh dear, I agree Jan, the plastic is not becoming for the Rally

Would a small ammo box give you the protection for it and the electrics or fiber glass?   
If push comes to shove use the plastice box ignore rest of them.   

i think just a little imagination is needed here so all ill say is im working on somthing

so the new year is here and we been hard at it again, so we discussed the fact that the rzr doesn't have doors and there fore is lacking a location for the door numbers. so we came up with these. so what do you guys think??







they still need a few bits doing and then ill tidy the edges and give them some paint so they dont stand out.

also been working on the cb still unsure if i'm going to go with this or not.



and this is finished

Impressive all round! Glad the plastic box idea got ditched 

Wow - you've been busy; and all looking ace there   

Looking good, if I may, I will have a closer look at it on the rally.
Pity about the plastic box, I liked it!  

Just noticed a potential problem. Your cb looks like a uk40 channel unit.
Normally the rally uses uk band in uk then switches to eu band when over the water. Unless it has been modified your cb wont have the eu band.

Best check with hq that nothing's changed but if its the same as last year you wont be able to speak to anyone.

Note for Organisers: apologies if this could be considered helpful. I promise i wont do it again. Please dont sack me.

There's just no accounting for taste sometimes........
