Re: Some projects...

Update... Finally got the Argo finished. Looks a bit tougher with the new hardware. ;) The owner is changing the winch cable over to synthetic cable which is why the fairlead is not installed yet. The original front bumper - http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/AKmud/image-7_zps0b2f2f78.jpg http://...

Re: Some projects...

This is a removeable roof rack for an Argo. It will be attached to the roll bar system with latch clamps. The rack has to come off for the owner to get the rig into his enclosed trailer. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/AKmud/image-7_zpsf06ca988.jpg The Argo (drool....) http://i78.photobucket.c...

After I watched that video, I realized when I tried to put things back together I never removed the liner.... That might have been my problem. :?

Re: I need some advice...

Well, $266 later all my problems are solved. :roll: I gave up on the repair and just bought a new 15' gun. All is right in the world again.

Re: Some projects...

Okay, now, That's just CHEATING! :lol: I like! Steve S Works great in those Alaskan swamps where there isn't a tree big enough for a tree stand. The bottom of the seat is 8'3" off the ground. Three pins attach it to the rack and the 1" square tubing legs slip off of 3/4" square tube ...

Re: I need some advice...

Thanks for the idea Mick, only problem is the room for the wires is so tight I would never be able to get the insulation started into the connector. The first time I repaired it I was very careful to keep the strands neat and clean. Even with tidy strands it was very tight getting all of them into t...

I need some advice...

I bought a second hand MM250X a whole back. One of my main concerns was a 12" section of the whip was damaged right behind the gun. I disassembled it, cut out the bad stuff and put it back together. It has been working fine for a month or so until I developed a gas problem. While investigating ...
