Re: Green Mountain Girl - Grand Hauler Build
At this point, one of my upgrades arrived in the mail. I purchased a yet of aluminum wheels for the front. Lots of itty bitty lugnuts, but I think the look is worth it.

Re: Green Mountain Girl - Grand Hauler Build
I'm definitely going to have to check these out. The further I've gotten into the build, the more light channels I'm finding that I want. I'm also just starting to teach myself Arduino (I can blink...

Re: Green Mountain Girl - Grand Hauler Build
The next night of building was dedicated to assembling the transmission. As recommended by most builders, I replaced the stock motor with an 80t motor. I tested the shifting by hand before encasing...

Re: Green Mountain Girl - Grand Hauler Build
The next build session began with assembling and adding the rear leaf springs. After that, I moved on to assembling and greasing the differentials. I used thick marine grease to increase the...

Re: Green Mountain Girl - Grand Hauler Build
