You are a true fabricator, my man! There's a select few on here that can fab as nice and clean as you can.

Very nice work! I really like the pic of where it's royally stuck in the snow! That's a common sight up here in MN!!

well thanks guys for the replys... makes me think all the extra time and patience is worth it....

took it out again on sunday after taking the radiator out and flushing it and power washing it, also relocated my power steering cooler and it started to get warm on me again about 45 min in, so i stopped off by a creek waited a bit and poped the cap and toped her off... was good the rest of the day, i think i just had a buble..


the bad--- think my fuel pump is going out, everything was going good untill tryin to go up this one hill, kept stallin out like i was out of gas... but i wasnt and it would be fine on the flats, so i ended up turing around and by the time i got close to home, it was reall bad, luckily i was on a down hill stretch, but today at lunch was going to move it off the street and the pump wont even make a noise.. i have it on a toggle and i checked for power and its good..... if its not one thing its another right

well was able to finally take the time and build some good shock hoops, shocks are slighly angled back which i dont really like, but they sorta had to be that way... heres a few pics...

got her pulled in..

started by bendin this up

welded this to the frame for extra support

finished off with some trial runs...only pic that came out though...

The shock mount looks pretty damn good, man. Had a chance to hit the snow lately with your rig?
