New belly armor

[Kenny]

Oil changes should be fun!
Looks good though. Should work fine.

Thanks.

For oil drain, I don't think it's going to be too bad actually, I made an opening under the plug and it works. As for the filter, I can sort of reach it. I probably gotta use a tool since I doubt I could get much leverage on it.

Ldub, I've been wanting a Fumoto valve for a long time now, just haven't taken the time to figure out the thread size I need... I'm reading your book on procrastination tonite, maybe...

As for making more up, it's a thought - I first have to work the bugs out of this set. There is only one so far, the front clips are at the wrong angle (about 20 deg. off), that's why my tow hook isn't on yet...

Looks great!

Are you concerned at all about how that may trap more heat in the engine bay?

I would probably drool if I werent the site's resident urban pothole crawler.

Get the one with a nipple so you can put a piece of tubing on the end & drain right into your oil pan.

Kenny,

I can't wait to see your VX in person. You have been on a modding rampage lately. As for the belly armor; lookin' sharp. It looks like it could take on an IED and keep rolling on to kick ***** and take names.

Oh, and biju......AMEN!

I doubt they would go into production of this type of thing.
They actually are a fairly big shop that makes bus chassis and other parts for local industrial shops. I'm small potatoes for what I wanted. I just knew someone who knew them and they agreed to take on my task. (they sort of regret it now since it involved a bunch of knit picky details - the skids weren't bad - you should see my rock sliders I had them make .

What I'll try to do is get the .dxf (auto cad blueprint) file and email that out to anyone as plans for any local laser cut shop. They will still have to test fit the front clips that tie into where the hook is. That was the only stumbling block I ran into. Again, I was just winging this design - someone who knows better could probably do a much more practical design...

Thanks.

oh, and Amen biju!
