Well here goes another round of upgrads / fixes to get done for this wheeling season. I need to build a spare tire carrier to take the weight off my body and put it on my frame, cause my rear tub is looking rough. I also have to fix up my rear frame as the plate above the shackle is cracked and rusted through. 3 pics so far, the first two are the weld on trailer spindle I bought and chopped down to size. Was gonna use the Iron Pig Off Road spindle, but they couldn't ship to Canada, and this way it was just as cheap, in my hand day I paid for it, and comes all parts are replacable. 3rd pic is the new modified front shackle holder to look like the rear which I will weld to a new plate I am building that will bolt up to the frame after I grind off the frame rivets. Note I was using my grinder with the sanding plate, caught my jacket string, and shaved off a few of my knuckles before I threw it accross the shop and it pulled out of the e socket. This truck has cost me so much time, money, sweat, and blood, there is no way I could ever sell it!
