Another lil something.....

I cut the rear air bump cans out. with the shitty welds it was pretty simple :haha:

crash2 · Jun 26, 2016

New cans.....

crash2 · Jun 26, 2016

So I swapped the air bumps front/rear. I also ended up needing to raise the contact tower for the rears.

And now no rubbing :cheer:

crash2 · Jun 26, 2016

A little ditch testing :redneck:

crash2 · Jun 26, 2016

So since I am waiting for the last load of tin I went ahead and made a cover for this.

crash2 · Jun 26, 2016

Something else I found, I was getting drips of power steering fluid and finally found a pinhole at the ram fitting. I suspect it was a simple defect and pulled the ram and had james weld it up for me..

crash2 · Jun 26, 2016

Yes--time to get busy....

crash2 · Jun 26, 2016

Another panel done...

crash2 · Jul 25, 2016

Got the second panel done.

crash2 · Jul 25, 2016

Next started working on the side skins.

crash2 · Jul 25, 2016

Both skins are done :bbbball:

crash2 · Jul 25, 2016

Next onto the roof.......

crash2 · Jul 25, 2016

Matt had requested some grab handles to help getting in/out. I personally love a well place grab handle :bbbball:

crash2 · Jul 25, 2016

Time to paint the top of the cage..

crash2 · Jul 25, 2016

So I decided to paint the roof panel black. I thought it would change the look and it certainly set it off. :cheer:

crash2 · Jul 25, 2016

so apon some testing I found a clearance issue between the front pinion yoke and the oil pan skid.

crash2 · Jul 25, 2016

So luckily the skid unbolts and thank goodness I pulled it because guess what--bolts were fawked up and loose at the rear mounting location.

So it wasn't too hard to modify the skid for clearance.

Once done I took it to the same spot and have about 1/4" clearance now.

So the last thing to do is get the shocks and air bumps charged and then its ready.
