Very nice.

Im rather envious of how your truck has progressed compared to mine.

Default Update 3 Years Later

For those that wonder what ever happens to things - here is an update nearly 3 years later.

The C15a has plates and insurance now, so I poured the lawn mowers gas into the tank and took a shake down run this afternoon. After 35 miles on my rebuilt speedometer ( thanks Bob from Down Under ) the temperature read just warm, and I had no leaks ( well 1 small leak from the T-case, but a can of stop-leak should remedy that ...).

I need to figure out how to get turn signals onto the truck, as the other Sunday drivers on the backroad did not think anyone was driving the big truck slowly down the road, let alone know what turns I had planned.

More pix later.

Stewart, good to hear she's on the road!

What about those size XL boots? Does it run fine on 20-inchers?

Cheers,
Hanno

Default Big Boots

Hanno,

The big rubbers are a lot quieter than I thought they would be. Even at 20 inches they are lighter than the 16s with runflat tires installed, so it steers about the same.

The view is superb up that high also.

Nothing has fallen off yet, so I am happy. The temperature reading is great with a 27 degree ambient. It needs a wash - not from road grime, but from sitting in the garage too long.


Stewart



Special thanks to Gordon Yeo for his considerable assitance.
