yeah i had mentioned i would be in fabrication mode and grinding dust and diff work dont mix, but i also said we could do something to make a clean area.....no bigge he knows i have no other life so there will be other times available.

Side note i sent the money for my tires away yesterday. i guess its a design/budget trade off. tires are much more expensive so i guess il have to forgo the warn winches and go with smittybuilt...

need a smittybuilt 3 to 6 k winch for mockup, so i can build the rear mount .

anyone have one not being used right now?

had to order 45 degree valve stems so no mounting till next week. but yes i could use help wrestling with them.

 

[Hip]

should have opened all the boxes, the last beadlock box i opened had all the fasteners and valve stems. the rear holds the weight with no valve stems in

 

[Hip]

front winch showed up.

made floor boards, firewall, and added the V behid the front seats.

 

[Hip]
