BMThiker raises Dig-Dug from a wee lad

OK, so I've got several posts, that I'll eventually list here, documenting Dig-Dug's progress over the last 9 months. YIKES, not even a yearling! Check my signature for the list of mods to date.

Here's last weekend's project. Can you guess?


How about a little closer...


Even closer...

Where does that go?


It disappeared!


OK it reappears here!


And the electrical stuff:


Ready for takeoff: (and the red paint on the windshield is leftover from my wedding vandals)

Re: BMThiker raises Dig-Dug from a wee lad

Now, for your next act, if you could integrate a perimeter emergency raft sytem which would deploy upon immersion in deep water . . .

You are quite dedicated to your compressed air.

Now Dig Dug looks like it has surface to air missiles!

Re: BMThiker raises Dig-Dug from a wee lad

It'll run my impact wrench, so I'm happy

I thought about stuffing them under the rear cargo area, but then I'd have to shield them from rocks and what-not. This seemed easier and I don't put much on my roof anyway, maybe a gas can at most. I try to keep all my pack gear inside the cabin. The only other thing I'm planning on putting on the roof rack are more lights. But that won't happen until later in the summer.

Re: BMThiker raises Dig-Dug from a wee lad

I like the idea! how do you keep people from stealing your air? (sorry, I'm new to the compressed air world )

Silly girl, don't you know? Air is free! Inhale, exhale, isn't that nice

Actually there are a handful of bolts that are too awkward to get to with a socket, so it'd take someone a fair piece of time to get away with them. And an alarm system is being worked into the budget now.

har har

Beyond stealing the actually tanks, I was thinking someone could just hook up to it and fill their tires/run their equipment etc.
