that tube looks flimsy ... :flipoff2:

where did you do the bending of that beast?
 
a buddy I work with bought a nice bender. but, he only has 1 die, so I had to get tubing to match. otherwise is would cost $15 per bend.:eek:
at $60, it was cheaper to buy a whole stick of tubing and have lots left over. I'm gonna make a better rear roll bar/cage with it. :grinpimp:
 
Looks good Shawn! If you get a chance, some pictures of the BHCC would be great. I've never been (so far at least), and I'd like to hear more about it.
 
Jill will get many pics. she is my personal expert 4x4 photographer.:D

it's a little different than CM. you sign up for the trails the night before the run. but there is easy to super hard core trails. I'll come back with vids and pics of the harder trails for you!
 
You haven't rolled Bionic recently have you?

not sure where that came from, but no, I got that out of the way 'before' building it up.:flipoff2:
 
ahh, got it. I don't have a good cage for the rear seats. it's a stock roll bar back there, I want a 'family cage'. to buy, they are several hundred $. I can build it mostly with the left over tubing. plus the gain in fabrication skills.;) (a dig on Marc from another thread :D...)

Not the first time somebody gave me crap about something on this forum. Although, I'm seeing a trend. It used to just be Ali. Then John F. jumped on the bandwagon. Now Jon, Rudy and Shawn. I'm going to take my ball and go home. :crybaby:
 
come to the firehouse regularly. it's way uglier from your "friends" there! if you weren't liked, it would be silent...:cheers:
 
oh, and I'm done with the 40 for the trip. skid plate is in. trans pan leaks no matter what I do. transmission shop had the same problem last year. I installed 2 different style gaskets, and gasket maker, still leaks. slowly, so I'll let it go for now. still need to pack for this trip.:rolleyes:
 
Have a fun trip!

Do you need a hug? I can get Barney or something like that if you want. How about a motivational speech by someone famous. I know Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones that have those voices that sound cool. You want me to give them a call?

x2x3x4x5....etc. It is better to know that people can give you crap (as long as you can take it) and still want to hang out/talk with you, vs. just completly ignoring you.

LOL... easy there big guy, like shawn said, if we didn't like you we'd leave you alone. and just to make my point, what ball is it that you have again? and what's you callsign?

tee heee :flipoff2:

Don't get it.
 
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if I need to explain.
