Took my Bigfoot for a spin after new chains and bearings, she is pulling to the left noticeable enough. Had my dad, a big guy along, could extra 250 pound make it pull? I did check tire circumference, had 2 of them 1 inch bigger which I tried deflating but didnt make a noticable difference and put in the middle.
The fan drawing the battery down at idle concerned me while I'm warming the machine in subarctic temps, I installed a cutout switch that lights up when the fan is off; when I look down to shift I can't help but see the light reminding me to turn fan on
Also installed a bilge pump. Only a manual on/off switch on the dash and a 500 GPH pump.
Installed 2 el-cheapo LED red tail lights I had around.
Power outlet, protected by a 20 amp fuse. Going to make a plug in light too and a dome light for top of the windshield.
Ordered an argo winch mount kit $$$ but I'm running out of time, can't make it from scratch
Working on heat next. Getting a hvac register on the intake that will allow it to heat up much faster and maintain a nice warm engine bay. I think I might get a water temp kit and install it by the oil filter housing (JB weld?) to monitor oil temp to prevent overheating. Or would cylinder head temp be more important?
