Winter projects...
 
What's everyone got going?

Sommer Thunder is getting totally rebuilt drives...new cryo'ed gearsets, XZ upper gears, and fresh paint and stickers.

Plus...new microwave, new batteries, new battery charger, all new toggle switches on dash (stupid saltwater!), and a Gorilla-glued faceplate on the fridge that will hopefully NOT come off!

Oh yeah...and heading over to TD Custom Paint in the spring for some much-needed retouching...

Hey Mike, you have any experience with Cryoing any tooling? I have had cryo'd disk brakes on my old dually and i thought it made a HUGE difference for me for towing/stopping power when using carbon brake pads......but we have been thinking of doing some tooling here at work (carbide cutters and other stuff for the CNC machines) and just wondering if you had any luck with that?

Hopefully wrap it

Take the cleats off and have them re powder coated white

Install disc brakes on the middle axle on the trailer

Add my EOH setup to the trailer

Pulled engines, painted the bilge, led work lights in the bilge, underwater leds, new blower hoses and blowers, replace all light bulbs with leds, new steering wheel and livorsi controls, powdercoat the swim platform and grab handles in the cockpit and custom bilge vents and switching trailer over to EOH
