We put some sliders on today.

Are you concerned that you will stress the frame without plating it?

 

[schmitty]

Not really If it breaks we will just have something to fix and work on later.

You won't stress the driver ---he's like a
COOL BREEZE. ​

So we cut some rust out of this truck about 4 months ago and finally got around to filling in some holes. If Ted would finish his truck we could actually work on it in the garage

This weekend!!!!

You don't want to work on it tomorrow? I'm sure this time no one would be able to help other then me.... that is unless you won't be there

 

[NGA-FJC]

I'm glad you ended up with this truck. I just did not have the time or the space to buff out the problems with this little gem. Keep up the good work!!!!

 

[schmitty]

Started on the cage tonight. We'll see if we get it done by this weekend.

 

[TeddyBoy]

Do I hear a Build day on Friday coming...hopefully, if customers will leave me alone.

 

[schmitty]

Yea I will probably be there Friday if you get off work.

 

[schmitty]

Guess I should add some updates to this. Cage has been finished for awhile.

We also found a place for the spare tire.

Also got in some new parts for hi steer.

lookin good John, can't wait to see it up close.

 

[TeddyBoy]

John's propane conversion. It runs like a champ. We got the tank mounts built yesterday, just need the second tank and plum it up.

 

[CID 96]

I'll bring the second tank on Tuesday or Wednesday.

updated after 2 years. Since John's headlights quit working at Windrock and they pretty much sucked anyway we just decided to get rid of the problem instead of wasting time hunting it down. So, with some Hellas in hand we worked up a little extra cage work and threw the new lights on.

 

[robustbambi]

cool! i just gained the ability to see at night (new headlights) and it sure doesnt suck.

PS: how do i get in on helping out over at Johns? i think i could learn a thing or two.
