Wow Walrus -- talk about an aching back and aching knees. Quite a job!

Truth. I finally finished my front porch and I almost choked when pricing out the decking.

My RZR has been up at the workshop since before Christmas. Today we finally made a start on the couple of items that needed doing on it.


First item was installing these rollcage joiners in the side intrusion bar on the driver's side. I can now take the intrusion bar out when I'm not racing, meaning I don't have to climb over it every time I get in and out of the seat.




Second item on the list was modifying the factory nerf bars to suit the 70" width (original factory width was 60"). Cut the factory stubs off, that bolted into the chassis, welded some new stubs to the chassis and some new stubs to the original nerf bar that slide over those.



Workshop has good "indoor/outdoor flow"


Wound a bit more preload into the rear coilovers to compensate for the sagging of the rear springs. I think I'll have to replace them in the near future.


The next vehicle into the workshop will be this turbo RZR to be built for Race to the Sky hill climb  in March.



Oversized game of Connect Four that Dyson built for his mother's 50th birthday bash next weekend.


Unfortunately my holiday is over and I have to go back to work tomorrow.

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, it must be electrical.

Unlocked the gates to let the guy in delivering our new tank at the race track. We don't see many 2500s here on NZ.

Took along walk from couch to bedroom

Glad you are up and around! 

I have been looking for a new job.  Company I worked for consolidated the work of similar labs and closed the location I worked at.  Nov 29 was my last day of 13 years at that place. Really do not miss it and enjoy spending more time with the family.

Well that sucks! Hope you find something soon.

I've been clearing snow all day. It was 45 degrees before the cold front blew in yesterday so the ground was warm enough to melt the snow when it hit. The wind was blowing about 25-30mph when it hit so the snow drifted pretty good. Of course it is deepest in front of the shop and a pain with ice on the bottom. 34 degrees now.
