-Oh no I picked a side-
I had some time and looked it over and found I can get a couple other items done prior to the rad.
I got the PS mount modified and fitted.

I got some more plates burned and welded onto the frame.
Bent a couple pieces of tube/cut/notch.
These will serve 2 purpose's. First giving more support to the bashable fenders. If dale gets mad he can jump up/down on the fenders
redneck and they will also be a place for shocks to mount (to be later figured out).

So here is where I hit a dead end and I can only "roughly" figure for the power steering components till I get a rad in place. But I am shooting to put the res tank on the passenger side. This will give plenty of room and keep it high enough to not cause any problems.

:haha: All in all though, I really like the front tube work. Really clean with smooth lines.

It was just a second battery mount and a rear winch mount? Knowing you, you'll redesign the entire rear end of the vehicle for the winch!:awesomework:

I had a laugh. He walked in, saw the rig and jumped right in the driver's seat. He's 10 and we already have to move the seat back...

I remember when i was that young sitting in my dads old jeep while he was working on it. (the same one he is still wheeling, and pretty much the same set up).
Those are some good memories. Something your son should remember for a long time :awesomework:

Hope you got a picture of that.... Priceless photo opp's like that are awesome...:awesomework:
Great work! It's good to know it's close to complete.
I have a question about the front fenders. Are they connected to the cowl? I only ask because a buddy of mine did a similar thing up front to Gibby's but the back of the fender connected to the cowl. Since the front of the fender is solid/frame mounted and the rear was body mounted, flexing out the rig caused the back of the fender and cowl to tear out.
Just my $.02. I'll go back to sleep.:beer:
