Lohnes-Bait: Homebuilt Power-Articulating Dump Truck Build All Done At Home!


Lohnes-Bait: Homebuilt Power-Articulating Dump Truck Build All Done At Home!

For a man who has been going and doing for the last several years almost non-stop, I have to wonder just how he is really doing with all of this “stuck at home” time. Sure, he’s made good use of it rebuilding that old Tecumseh engine and it’s been great sparring with him on certain subjects here and there, but as the days turned into more than a month. I wondered if he might be going just a touch stir-crazy. It’s not like he’s got a project car to build anymore, and it’s not like he spends more than a few minutes working up some spoof announcing videos to make his fans smile while they’re stuck at home either. Surely there’s time for a project or two, and after seeing this, I’m pretty sure that if he isn’t considering one, that he’s going to at least watch this series with a raised eyebrow.

The combination involves a Predator 420cc engine, the useful parts of a Subaru Legacy, and some box tube parts for a frame. There’s quite a bit that’s gone on here, so you can catch up on the episodes that start with the purchase of the engine and metal and run all the way up to here, where there’s a running, driving machine that’s still being sorted out. Hopefully the boss gets some inspiration…he could use a bit of a home project, don’t you think?
