That's right, now with a B instead of Tr....
Yeah, its time to balance that weight out a bit, and do a couple of other things.
Build goals:
Drop weight (remove all unnecessary parts, sheet metal, and frame sections, Replace Husky 10 with smaller, lighter winch).
Increase maneuverability by narrowing the front end (remake from tube)
Increase stability by stretching the wheelbase (in the front)
Simplify vehicle by removing all circuits not essential to engine function. Run new wiring for all ancillary equipment, such as lights.
New front suspension (I hope to make a tri four link work, but we'll see what fits). coilovers in the front.
Full hydraulic steering.
New minimal dashboard (and possibly center console)
--------
I've started to take it apart a bit. Removed hood, fenders, winshield glass. Next goes the dash, and the wire tracing fun begins.
