If you would, a complete detailed write up with lots of pictures would be awesome. Not to mention I really like pictures.

Ok new to me diff is in and seems to be working great. I took some pics of the install but at the moment I don't have internet except on my phone. I did split the clam shell just to confirm gear ratio and there was some water in it when I picked it up, looked good a little surface rust on the gears but they looked good otherwise. I will do a more detailed write up with picks but other than everything you need to get to is just really tight lol. The only thing not back on is the skid plate I want to make sure everything is right first no leaks etc. One thing I did was extend the breather hose up higher probably not nessasary but it can't hurt. I will get pics up asap, thanks for checking in.

Got home for a few hours last sat, drove the runner about a 100 miles or so and no issues felt good to drive it again.
started on the bumper and am not at all happy with how the little I got done is coming together so I going to just start over before I waste any more steel, I really wanted to get some pics up but my camera is mia.

Hey, I saw the SWEETEST Iron Bull on a runner like yours.... It must have been a new design, I'd not seen it before. It's more rounded(same odd angles and stuff, just more rounded, lol)....and it had a nice step out on it, made of DOM(he might have added that).... Can't wait to see your stuff all 'roll'n'! lol. Take care buddy, hope to talk soon!

Hey mark I love the iron bull stuff to just don't have enough green stuff ya know, I need a few days at home with some steel my welder and my runner trying to design this from memory is proving to be a disaster,
Terry you get more done with less then anybody I know I'm the last person you need to do any work for ya, all I did was swap some parts around and you found the parts so props to you buddy.

Main part of the bumper is done, cut apart what I had started and started fresh turned out just like I planed and that's rare for me but I'm really happy with it. Still have to weld my receiver on then its off to the fab shop to add the COOL and finish it up. My camera is still missing but I got a few phone pics I will get up asap. Looking forward to yalls input and opinions, thanks for checking in.

Pics to come as soon as this truck stops for a few MIN lol, I'm trying y'all.

Stew the cb really turned out better than I thought it would I will still be moving when I install a new stereo I plan to mount it under that. But as is its fine for now I have long legs and keep the seat slid all the way back. That said I wouldn't recommend it as a good place to mount one.

We know you are but man, the curiosity! Making us wait will make it that much sweeter to see what you've done so don't worry, no pressure. We know you'll get to it as you have time.
