Project Mini Hägglund

The guy i talked to at Whistler. How are you doing?

I came up with a good design for flat grousers and easy to make tire guides. I'll post a few pics tonight if i get a chance...

That would me! I am doing well thank you. I wish you guys had given me a bit more notice last year. It was unfortunate that I had family come up to stay that weekend.

I am really impressed with your project. It almost needs its own separate section. Most of us modify our rigs and call it a "build". This is a true BUILD!

Thanks. I`ll be back in Canada, and then i`ll visit you...

Here`s the finished grouser design, that i`ll be building:

bill-tracks4.jpglooks good but what about a bit steeper pitch so the wheel wont walk out of the track?

The stress on the side in a tight turn could be pretty significant.. just sayin.. looks great

and look forward to each post.
some different examples below

I will see you this summer Redthies!

another idea ... this type inner cleat would not damage the wheel

You`re right, the pitch on my prototype was at about 50 degrees, i`m shooting for about 70 degrees on the real thing...

I started working on the Hägglund again today. First i set it at ride height and put on one of the last few missing tubes:



Then i started cleaning up the wiring mess and place all the switches and fuses and electrical stuff:





Prepping the ammo can for the ecu:



Everything together. It`s a lot cleaner now:



Also ordered about 170ft of square piping for the grousers...

When this thread first started, I really didn't have any hope for it. I figured it was someone just throwing ideas out there. I have been away for a few months and am utterly surprized/exilerated to see the progress you have made. The two quotes in your signiture could not be more spot on! Being an R&D engineer and someone who makes most of his money Macgyvering things together, I am proud, impressed, and excited to see your continued advancement. Keep up the good work!

I always said that Steinez is a genius!
