IT'S HOME!!! Thanks again to everyone at W*o*R for putting the finishing touches on the truck. I don't know if anyone knows what is going on but I will not be able to make tomorrows W*o*R Snow-Run. Thanks again to all the vendors of great cruiser parts and for the help of guys with experience in springovers without them I would have never finished this project!


thread about why I won't make it:

Ok so I've sold the springs now and it looks like pretty soon I'll have some sliders too. Going to remove stock steps during install. Need to get around to trimming fenders and other various stuff that is cheap to do. February is going to be the month of mods for this thing...Cage, Locker(s), Tires, etc, etc.
Couple of those motivation posters.

been awhile since my last update.
Had to get some sliders on, needed to trim rear fenders, add mudflaps, so-on so-forth. oh and i've locked the rear locker too and recently made the 2L mod.

1. Slider shot
2. driver side showing partial mudflaps
3. my new toy that i used to get the sliders up to temp high enough to paint on...it was about 30*F (give or take a couple degs) otherwise.

looking good man
 
Got some new pics the other day but my sister hasn't e-mailed em over yet so I can't post up the shot of my new tail-lights and reverse lights. Ordered an SM420 mounted to a 3spd t-case and with spaceghost adapter. Will be waiting for it for awhile since I still haven't come up with freight cost but at least the product is paid for

Transmission en-route but I dunno when it will ever get installed, still need: clutch parts, front output seal, crossmember crap, time....lots of it.
 
NEW BUMPER :bounce: That last one was killing my approach angle so I decided to fab a new one. Also I learned to weld (kinda). My friends made a couple of the welds so it would stay on then had me learn on the rest. I circled the 3rd pic the weld I made :doh: going to finish it this coming saturday by capping off the holes and possibly making a bevel on the ends although that is yet to be decided.

1 & 2 bumper shots
3. My weld is circled
