OLLIE 1 Posted February 23, 2011 Finally received my storage boxes yesterday and installed them last night. These can be removed when I choose to. I like the idea of the extra storage up top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLLIE 1 Posted February 23, 2011 looks like abut 1520 or a little smaller? Yep... A 1520 it is. Fits perfectly in that spot. I was looking for something a little cheaper but in the long run the Pelican is the only thing I could find in the size I wanted that could handle the abuse of being beat by branches. They are on there pretty securely too. You have to remove them from the inside of the box. Plus tampering with my rig when the alarm is armed is a mistake. You'd need new shorts or a defibrilator once the alarm set those air horns off in your face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lichen 215 Posted February 24, 2011 Do you have any pics of how the Pelican cases are mounted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 1 Posted February 25, 2011 Some people have been asking how I mounted the cases on my rack. Here's a shot of how I have secured them. There is one clamp at each of the four corners of each box. Then I got my hands on some very high quality padlocks to secure the boxes with. On the inside of the box I used fender washers with an O-Ring under each washer to maintain the water-tight seal.

OLLIE 1 Posted March 8, 2011 I have been hearing some noises in, what I thought was, my suspension over the lat month or so. I was all set to go the TDS Safari with my family last Saturday but the sound turned into something more severe and I cancelled the trip. Turns out that my rear driveshaft forward U-Joint is shelled out. Thankfully I cancelled the trip and I didn't have it break on me with my wife along. I thought it was going to be a rear diff. I took it to M.I.T. in El Cajon and they found it. While they're dropping the driveshaft I'm having drop both the forward and the rear driveshaft and change all 4 U-Joints along with balancing them both. Hopefully I'll pick it up tomorrow and all will be well. It sucks being without my rig for even one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number7 89 Posted March 8, 2011 That was a good call, braking on the trail is a pain. George:cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 1 Posted March 8, 2011 Here's a link to the video I got of my air horns in the snow. We were trying to shake the snow off the trees. It didn't work though. Turn up the volume on your computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 1 Posted March 10, 2011 My rear LED flashers finally bought the farm so I've been looking to replace them with something. A few weeks ago I orderd some white LED light pods to use for rock lights. Upon receiving the lights I discovered that they were flashers instead of lights that stay on. So using four of the six I purchased, I fabricated a new rear lightbar in conjunction with a lip to stop my fuel cans from sliding to the rear. I'm pretty pleased with the final outcome for now.
