Thanks for the congrats! Yup lots of work. I have had a vehicle approved in 2013 and 2014, we try and change our vehicles some every year so it's not the same ol vehicle as last year. The hydrostats are purchased new and are made by Hydro-Gear, they are intended for large lawn mower applications. Fi...

YES! I received approval from the DMV!

Worked on the headlights today

Gave some rides

Luckily the fire department didn't show up.

I love watching people try and figure out how these things work

We took the MKII and MKIII to our local art district last night, they were a big hit!

Believe it or not they are real stable, the components in the rear are extra beefy for added weight.

It's Alive!

I don't want to leave my camp but would like to hang out and help fix stuff

Looks like an awesome project! I'm giving this a nudge over to the camps, art, and activities board, since that's a better fit for announcements and updates about art (and MV's are most definitely art) projects for this year's event. Good luck with the build, and please keep the pics coming as you ...

Ha! Yes my shy daughter doesn't like pictures taking, dang kids.

I'm very blessed to have a great shop, it's been a long time coming.

Heres a link to a video of me driving the MKII before fire install. Can you imagine 4 of these dancing in the dust? We are currently outlining some choreographs

Yes, fire is in the works for the 2 vehicles under construction, the MKI & MKII have fire installed. MKII pictured.

The MKIV is also currently under construction. It's the one with orange wheels. The MKII is in the middle and MKIII to the right. Lots of work left to do. The Furniture Art Car guys are gonna drop their jaws....

Red Rubber Tattoo crew from 2014

Here is the Original TriMule, it was on the Playa in 2013 & 2014. This vehicle now lives in California with my Burner Friends and will be on Playa this year (awaiting DMV approval). It has had many ugrades since this pic.

Went to a tractor swap meet, saw this

Chain adjusters are all figured out

Some more welding and gussets

She thinks this is helping. Geez lady

Revised engine mount incorporates belt adjustment and alternator mounting.

Foot controls are all lined out, my wife is checking the details.

Found some killer headlights

Lightened up mine & Ginger Bear's sprockets

I'm 6' for some scale of this thing

Bringing up the front

Seats kinda mounted. OH that green velvet!

116 drilled holes should be enough for the seats mount.

Intermediate shaft details with the electric clutch for main drive disconnect. The engine plate pictured has since been revised.
