Okay, let's see if I can reply to all the questions and such here, lol!
Thanks for the info about the Liberty Tracks...question though, will they tear up the roads at all? I need tracks that can go on roads so I can take the Weasel through parades.
And haha yes! I've already experienced the tracks on it now tearing up the yard and marking the road up (any everything in it's path!) Something that would be a little less destructive would be great!
And yes the main safety issue is about the fuel, or the fuel line really. I don't know the correct terminology so I'll try to explain it the best I can. The fuel is in a straight circuit right now, there is no back up line for it so if something...floods? or backs up? it has no where else to go and can be a big fire hazard then.
The electrical systems look pretty good, I've already had to replace the negative ground cable but that was it so far, the rest looks okay but of course...doing a good look through on the entire system.
I already have several manuals on the Weasel actually, the previous owner gave me one and some other smaller manual when I got the Weasel from him.
And yes! I plan to buy a fire extinguisher for both the Weasel and Jeep soon! You actually just reminded me about that...thanks!
As for modern materials...personally I go for making my vehicles parade ready. I don't care much about what's on the inside as long as it's safe and does what it needs to. I want to drive the vehicles I have around and show them off rather than just making everything the way it should be and just being able to look at the vehicle like it's in a museum.
Thanks for all the info and helpful links! The info on the tracks was a big help! I'll be getting some more pictures soon! If anyone knows a source for me to find the history of my Weasel that would be great! I have all the ID panels still on the Weasel.
