This morning, the Bandit drove out of the shop.....Finished. I don't have any plates yet so I only drove her up and down the mountain and got off the road. She runs great, probably a little quicker than the Carryall, as she is lighter. She is very quiet, but yet with a deep diesel sound. Steering and brakes are excellent. I backed her out of the shop in a area with a lot of ice. When I went to come back thru the drive through door, one wheel started to spin. I was going to get out and lock the hubs.........then I remembered the ARB Lockers. Ha!, I hit the rear locker and immediately it was Summer......pulled right in. Thanks Dan, already love the ARB's. I am thrilled with her performance and handling.
I have uploaded complete 'walk around' pictures to the Bandits Image Event Album. The next to the last picture is a 'Build List', what went into the Bandit (double click to bring it to full screen).
Later this winter, I will be having a Tonneau Cover made for the bed. When the Tonneau cover is complete, I will add that picture to the Bandit's build album. Other than that picture, no more pictures will be added to the album....Its complete, she is finished....WOW, I think she is a 'Keeper' !
Now to clean my shop and get it back in order. A messy shop is a sign of a healthy mind ha ha. The Bumblebee is now in the surgical position in the shop for its diesel upgrade, yet this winter.
As always, If I can ever help you with your diesel conversion, please email me.
I need one part, which I have not been able to locate anywhere. I need a M37 Center Tail Gate Hinge. If anyone has a spare one for sale, please email me.
Click on Link below for pictures. Picture 177 to end of album is rollout.
