Cheap gas and cheap food!

Hardware store. They say we are "essential" here in MN. I think we are open just so people have somewhere to go. lol. It has been crazy busy!! We have sold sooooo much paint.

So, I get to drive it to work.

 

[FixedIt]

Mounted this, finally! Had to drill the holes for the top hinge since I replaced the rear quarters a few years ago. Nerve-racking!

 

[firefighterjed]

Remounted my 8274.
Welded in a 3 1/2” square tube between the frame horns and a mounting plate to that. Just a little measure, cut cut cut, weld weld weld, paint paint paint.

This is the set up the PO built

I didn’t love the brush bar so I pulled it. And then rear ended someone on a snowy morning this winter.

Removed all the bent parts

Added a crossmember for winch support

Finished product.

Slowly but surely plugging away at # 1 of a dozen or so buckets of Long Lost souls,

I have just scratched the new surface of late Model Rockers Restore

general TECH is similar since on topic ...........

 

[FJDonny]

Mini-truck power steering from Valley Hybrid and exhaust manifold and gasket from SOR. Note - do not install power steering box first. I got too ahead of myself while waiting for manifold to come in and then needed to move the box forward 1/2 inch to clear the header. I now have 4 extra holes in my box mount.

 

[ToyotaMatt]

Are you hand-painting those knobs? If so, that's some surgical-grade precision!

Is that the final resting place for the power steering cooler? If so, maybe too close to the header...or someone with more experience than I can chime in.

 

[ToyotaMatt]

It’s not. Trying to figure out where to put it. Was going to move it when I attach fender. Only place to mount it is on outside of frame I think unless others have ideas.
