Swampers look good on there man. The only thing I would do is get rid of that front bumper gap...lol But i'm kinda picky with small things like that.

what kind of 7.3 we talkin about here idi or powerstroke ?

The bumper is coming off. Just haven't made it to the metal store for the steel to build one yet. Prob gonna hack it apart tomorrow since it rubs the tires. Fenders need to be cut too. Thy don't touch when turning, but it will when it flexes.

Another trip to rausch creek today. Broke the exhaust manifold some how. Time for headers I guess. No sense in putting another set of manifolds on.

Also the lower bolt on the radius arm worked it's way loose and stripped. It fell out and the diff tilted. Pulled the drive shaft slip yoke out of the t case and broke the t case shaft. Had to strap her up to get out of the woods.

Also got some more work done to it. Cut the fenders to fit the 36's, built a front bumper and added a winch. Finally got a place to mount my KC lights that I've had since I was 16. I'll get some pics up later.

My buddy took his Polaris across our dried up pond/swamp and got stuck so i had to go get him. I almost lost my left rear wheel in the process. I guess i forgot to tighten the lugs lol

Had a welder friend of mine build a bumper for me. 4" c channel and 1/2" plate. It shouldnt move. This is the first way. Added a plate for the winch and shortened the plate on the front. The light bar is 1" hot rolled solid stock. All metal that he had laying around his shop so there was no charge and we just used what we had.


Trimmed fenders up a bit so they wouldnt rub the 36's when flexing. Cut the fender well (Thanks archives for the idea!) so the motor doesnt get completely covered in mud. Came out pretty good for cutting and grinding with a 4" grinder and cutoff wheel.





This one is a little screwed up since I tried the sawzall first. Not so easy. Jigsaw probably would have worked best but only had wood blades for it. The wood blade didn't work at all. Yes I tried it. Don't waste your time.

Bumper finished and painted.



12k badlands winch.
This was after the Rausch Creek trip and you can see the body damage just behind the tool box. And the odd ball rim on the front. Knocked a tire just barely off the bead and it went flat so I got to use my brandy new hi lift.




We went to rausch creek like I said earlier, but I don't think I got any action pics. Ill have to see if the guys we were with got any. It worked great though! The drivers side fender well is sagging on the inside so it rubs a little but other than that the tires clear with just enough room at full flex.
