Pimp my ride

[garydc]

After trucking for around 30 years with my own trucks I don't really miss washing and polishing the chrome aluminun and stainless that much so my tractor I work with is pretty much stock if I were to add anything it would have to my CB as i do miss the radio sociallizing everyday. gary

Well WaxMan what a pleasant surprise to see your still around. Hope all is well on your end sir!


All is well , Thanks 4shorts, I pop in from time to time to see what's going on.
Not much snow so far here in Ct
I don't think I plowed a total of 10 inches of combined total snow storms all season. I miss the night time plows with the snow falling lights camera etc.

Good to see you back!

Oops, forgot my pimps;

Custom exhaust with high temp silicone tubing to keep the poop off the loader arm - does kick up some dust so may angle up a bit this spring. Tubing allows flex in case the end gets tagged. Joints are 1 1/2 copper fittings.

FEL arm braces took the flex out of the arm / mounts after bumping the psi up to 2000 . . .

Also added ss eyes and grabber hooks to the frame for tie down and yanking stuff + a small tab above the eyes to keep the cowling from vibrating.

No tractor is truly pimped until the hood ornament (Indian front fender from JP's harley parts - grind to fit & of course the eyes are red led) and blue high power led running lights are added . . . . .

Anyone with a shrubbery problem might want to give this one a shot . .

achinbac-
Those are truly pimping stuff for the BX . The tubing you made for the exhaust, does it smell during the summer after heavy use ? I been thinking of going to my local muffler shop and have them customize a slide-on, twist to lock of some sort. I truly hate those black soot on my FEL.

RMan,

No smell on the tubing (being high temp silicone rubber - Verocious Motor Sports web site) or from the exhaust which used to bounce off the arm and back in my face. 1 1/2" copper fitting slit on three sides with a dremel and a small abrasive wheel is a perfect fit to the stock muffler outlet stub. I used 650 deg. rtv at that joint and a heavy duty ss clamp which you can see in one of the pics (also from Verocious). Soldered up the fittings and used high temp stove paint on it. There is a small L bracket on the interior corner of the frame that keeps the hose from bobbling around, yet lets it slip. Very easy three beer pimp if you can solder.

As always Dave great job on all your mods. All done with a fine quality too.
