Seeing you stuck makes me want an elocker so bad. Someday it will happen. Getting stuck is part of the fun when it is over. Something to laugh about at a later time. Maybe not so much when you are having to dig your self out at the time. lol, Makes you wonder what you were thinking at the time. It happens.

I built the front hanger part, kind of a copy of one I saw on here. Instead of 2x2 square tubing it's just a flat piece of 1/4in steel that's bent on each side with bolt holes. On the inside I'll have gussets for strength. For the rear of the front leaf springs I'll get some heavy wall tubing unless I can get those pieces and bushings cheap somewhere. Since its my daily I've been holding off on starting that project. I know I'll come across some bumps on the way.

Yah, having the truck outta commission for more than a week starts to bother me. I start to resent riding my motorcycle. But if you have all the parts u need, and my trucks running, you can always use my bike as transportation! I just wanna see that thing sas'd! Lol

Don't forget I have the jigs for the tubes when you are ready.

I also have a crap load of 1/4 plate for gussets.

if chris wont let me use his jigs, ill be headed your way. after using these dual shield machines at work i really want to get ahold of one to weld all my stuff. im confident in my stick/tig welds holding, but they dont look pretty. The dual shield looks so awesome and im sure they will hold just as well. this weekend im headed down around chris' house so i can measure those tubes in the frame for the sas setup.
