That definately is not me. Thanks for the props though. I've been busy working on that tranfer-case skid.
Truck looks killer Mikey. You guys are doing an awesome job.

I'm heading out with the boy next weekend. We're camping in Oriflame Canyon and will be taking Rodriquez from Banner Grade to get there. Anyone's welcome on this one. Not really a wheeling trip but if others want to join we can wheel Saturday. I'm heading out on Friday night.

MIkey - I'm workiing out at the office today so I think I'll go view the new and improved Fartruck!!!!!!!!!

The truck looks awesome. It's verging on monster truck status. The High-Steer came out looking sweet. I see what you meant by the steering being notched into the front. Shouldn't take more than some steel to cover that hole. She's getting closer to a shake-down run!!!!!!!!!!

The fartruk looks SWEET Mikey.

Is it really necessary to move half of your garage into your driveway just to show how little space there is to put the Fartruk in the garage??

Lookin' good brother! Any reason why that middle gusset for the front crossmember/winch-plate is so puny compared to the rest of the beef? Seems like you'd want to match the 2x3 tubing all around. Just a thought. Look forward to mas pics.
