All welded out

YES... Call, he is not on here often. A lot of people still use the phone :)

First practice weld. Still a ton of practice needed

I prefer Cochetopa Pass (114). Have taken it with a crew cab, long bed Dodge 2500 pulling a 38 (I think) foot gooseneck hauling an international dump truck without issue. It’s not as steep as Monarch (Highway 50), thus not as hard of a pull. It’s...

I did it a couple of months ago. Non issue.

Thank you. I just read a little on line and I may skip it. I think I will stick to hwy 50 as I have done that in the past, unless anyone can talk me into it.

Hey guys and gals. I am thinking of hitting the Great Sand dunes on the way home. Mapquest is showing to take 50 over to take 114 to 17 and down. I have taken 50 over the mountain, so I am ok with that. I will be pulling a 30' gooseneck and...

Check out this Pic of Black bear. Looks like slides took out 1/2 the switch backs . They are starting to clear it Thursday . Never seen it this bad

most of you know but I will post here too. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/metal-tech-jackson-cage-va-delivery-to-sas-9.1363617/

Hey guys, I bought this for a project and ended up selling the 40. This is an un-welded Jackson Cage by Metal Tech. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/metal-tech-jackson-cage-va-delivery-to-sas-9.1363617/

In all the years of going to Ouray I have never been let down with the available trails and activities. I'm ready to be in the mountains.

Imogene is open! https://www.facebook.com/OurayCountyRoadandBridge/

We are 40 short days from the start of Solid Axle Summit 9. It'll be here before you know it. Please be sure to holler at any of our Outstanding Sponsors for any of your pre-SAS needs. These businesses support our LandCruiser community year...

Seems like we did most of the trails in a day Nice place though.

You will still get body roll, just not as quick, if you are leaned over it will just do it slower, kind of like those soft closing toilet lids! I still suggest a rear sway bar.

Bought a welder. Wired in some SO cord to panel. Wired a twist lock to welder cord and panel feed. Its on now!!!! Lol

I always toss em back. Now some salmon on the grill is another thing, I'll have to dig around for the recipe I've been using.

Alright so still need to do touch up and will add another coat but so far this is how the gx is looking. I’m glad I went with using a foam roller instead of of the super texture one monstaliner provided. It give it sort of a orange peel look vs...

@martymart

A little more info on vehicle, you have several in your sig line, might help. What are you actually swapping and why do you have to change u-joints? Yes you can drill the round flanges with little effort. Do one at a time and get them lined up.

Well, kinda, my expectations that it would only take a couple of hours turned into me finishing up at 1:30 am. I still have some places I need to touch up, but overall I'm happy with it. Will post pictures today.

My brother said they were catching some decent ones on the dry fork yesterday, floating and trying to stay cool I am excited, we just got back from Europe yesterday, got a few things to finalize on my packing list, cant wait to get out there...

Did you get this done?
