Haha. Yeah, that's why mine has taken about a week to get done. Supposedly "Paying customers come before jackass non paying friends that steal your lift and all your tools". Then I just mention that I've spent over $450 on beer in the 3 days that we've worked on my truck!
Seems to me that I remember telling you about my beer budget once... Haha
Happy welding partner! Wish I was fabbin...

$200 FREAKING FLIPPING BUCKAROOS FOR WHAT!? Toyota wants $200 for that dog gone good for nothin rug cuttin heffer lovin french puffin hair tuggin bracket and pulley. Thats ridiculous. We're breaking out the jerry riggin skills. Post some pictures later of whatever we work out, cause you just know it'll be good...
And thanks jay. Yeah, but then again I dunno if you'd like it down here. Much more playin in the mud than rock crawlin. Though we do go parking lot car crawlin. Never, ever forget to take your rig out of 1st when you have a remote start. You might just walk up to find your jeep (or toyota) about 3 cars forward, and trying its damnest to be spiderman crawling up a brick wall...

Didn't have time to screw with the powersteering today. That, and the rear shock bushing are too small to reuse the top mounts, so we didn't get to that either. After the first flex I decided to take the plasma cutter to the rear fenders. Man its sweet. Pictures uploading now, so I'll post them up in a minute or two. Plus, my sandwich is ready

Thanks brian. Happy as hell I was able to get er off the rack and drive her home today.
Gonna trim the front body mounts tomorrow, cause thats the only thing holding back the front from flexing more. Shackles bottoming out on the dog gone body mounts.
Gonna weld the rear spider gears too.
How you like my fender trimming on the rear? I swear, I LOVE the plasma cutter. Made the fender trimming super smooth, and trimming the front inner fenders for the shock hoops only took seriously like 30 seconds.
Its killer.

Went with trailgear 5" all around (though the fronts are the heavy duty variation cause I've fabbed up a killer front bumper out of 1/2" plate. Heavy as HELL!)
And these will go on sometime in the future. 39.5x14.5x17 Boggers
