Competition preparation list:
SHOP: Neck brace, fire suit, 2 (2 1/2#) fire extinguishers, basic first aid kit, window nets.
FAB:
1. Window net installation, may require door bars with hinge to allow access and allow fastening lower part of window net.
2. 1/8" solid roof
3. fix firewall hole from heater, fix floor hole (cage seat crossbar goes through tranny hump)
4. firewall for the radiator
5. seal fuel tank from occupants(since in cab)

After looking at the RC Specs I dont know why they waht a roof or gas tank protection.

With a full cage and seats and 5 points why a roof?

with a good fuel cell like the one you have why a fire wall around tank?

OK radiator is moved to the back of the jeep. It took some really creative tube bending to get it routed under the jeep. Didn't plan ahead and put a body lift on, that would have been too easy. I still need to pick up 4 pieces of 6" radiator hose to finish it up.

One week. But I have faith

mounted the remote battery kit and rewired all the engine grounds and winch cables while i was at it. take 3 steps forward and 2 steps back with all the rewiring that needed done. Example there was a ground wire running from the front grill for the lights that went back to the valve cover bolt and then back to the fiberglass firewall and then down to the transmission mounting bolt.

Going to refocus my attention to making this a dedicated mud bogger. Was aiming towards rock racing since it would be a blast to open this thing up at Rausch but trying to make it a jack of all trades and master of none is senseless. Frees up a lot of time to make this thing run really well in the mud.
