MJ, are you going to round up this year? it's in two weeks almost.
I am going to try and make it, still installing my longfields.. This is my 4th time to have my hubs completely apart so I am getting a little burned out on the process. Also have to install new rear axle seals, but should have it done by this weekend.

That's great. Looks like I'll be there Friday to Sunday unless something major happens. Looking forward to hanging out.
Good to hear! See you then.

Unfortunately, I am an environmental construction mgr.. No customers to steal. I've owned a couple of oil and gas fabshops in the past.. I refuse to go back into that arena...
If I do this, it will be fab for Toyota and Dodges mainly... and custom "one off' designs...

J,
If you decide to go that route, put me down for a beefy rear bumper with dual swing outs.
In other news, I got this in the mail
Now all the parts are in for tomorrow's axle swap. Total excitement. ...

I love it. I like that the quarter panels are protected and you have a step bar for it. For my preference I would put the tire on the left side and the ladder on the right. It also looks like you can add an attachment to the ladder as well. Can it carry a steel wheel with 37 in tire? Looks stout, did it rattle or bang at all? Great job J.
