    I remember from one of my first aid instructors, they let people put buckets of dry sand near the extinguishers. The powder extinguisher (mandatory here) is known to cause electrical problems in the long run. CO2 extinguishers are great but also have to be refilled when used. Bucket of sand is nearly free and will extinguish many small fires.

      @wmose3694 Рік тому +3

      i know from working on a budget i have let fires get a little to close to out of hand bc i really did not want to have to go buy a new one. made that comment at the local hardware store and had the sand comment made and it is for sure true i have no problem dumping sand on something smoldering and problem solved

    I had a 1978 Ramcharger 4X4 with a set of BF Goodrich 31x10.50 tires that never got stuck. I had to get rid of it, because every time I went out to play, half of my time was spent dragging Chevys out of the snow or mud. Watching this build makes me want to get another one again.

    STREET LEGAL? I didn't catch if the OnXOffroad challenge builds were going to be street and emission legal? Are they? Or are they for OFF road use only? You guys are doing a pretty good job. The plasma cutting table and press break bender, sure make things easier. The PIT ARM mod. looks strong, but that's a critical part. I would think you could buy a Pit Arm already done and tested to withstand the extreme forces that will endure. I think the PIT ARM will break at the worst time... We'll see! lol
