Lookin' good as usual Jim! Got back in town this afternoon, trying to get back on mountain time and not succeeding very well. Think I'll head back to bed after dinner. This travel stuff is hard on an old man

WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW.....
we did our final fit today and took some picture (that won't get posted till monday);p
it looks pretty good i must say....a couple small issues, but not to chris.
we are both very pleased how it's turned out.
i'll get the last of the last issues taken care of.
take it to get sand blasted this coming week and paint.
we will have all mounted up next saturday.(rain/snow or shine)
if we have to, we'll install it at my work
THANX CHRIS for coming down today.
sorry bout chipping your paint
NEXT! is already in the works

For the record, Jim's his own biggest critic.
WooHoo!
sorry bout chipping your paint
See my first comment
Chip? More like a tiny scratch behind the bumper.
Not the first on Emily nor will it be the last
is it me, or is there 6 to 8 inches between the bottom of the tire and the lic. plate light? Don't get me wrong, i like it, i just imagined the tire being lower.
or is that a stock tire and rim?

it's made to hold a 35" tire, which chris says he'll never go the tall......it's still early
I should just go SOA and 35's now to prove everyone who says that stuff they're right! Nah, can't do that!
Wicked-cool metalwork man, wicked-cool. I like the addition of the wrap-arounds.
it's a 235 tire

OK, that makes sense. I run 33's and will for now, but my go SOA and go to 35's by the end of next next year.

UPDATE ON THE WEIGHT
brought the bumper to work so i can sandblast it tonght.
main bumper 75 lbs (UPSable )
swing out 80 lbs (still UPSable) newer carriers should be lighter, going with tubing on the actual carrier. main swing arm will still be 2x3 stock.
installed pics on saturday.
