Build a shop.. In your back yard..? Out of what?

It'd probably take a good 3 solid days working on it too, btw. Idk if your parent would appreciate looking at my pos for that time..

I live at my Grandmothers house, and i have a huge yard with many places to do it... with no problem. Im thinking a PVC frame with plastic over and around it i suspect that would run about $200 plus. But if you really wanted to do it yourself... i have a spot! itd be cool i could do mine in there too... Just sayin. Its not a pos either man i told you how i feel.

Edit: note to that as well it would probably only take a good 5 hours to construct at my best guess. and it would be built to the side of a standing wood shed

I figured you'd suggest PVC and plastic/ tarp.. Hmm. Well I will keep this in mind. I'd want to pull the bed so I could get behind the cab too.. Just saying. I'll let you know..

Maybe we could split the cost of the work room, then you could keep afterwards..?

Negative.
I do however have a set of eagle alloy 101's in the 16 X 3.75BS that will be painted black and will be used to mount my 35s here in the next couple months..

This is them:

It's where water falls from the sky... Some states even have snow! Which is FROZEN water falling from the sky...

All joking aside, frodo, your rig is lookin pretty gnarly... And FWIW, I'm still using yours as a basis for mine... Albeit a bit slower...

Oh, thats what rain is. Thanks

And thanks buddy. I suppose my frugal spending and hasty build up is due to the fact I don't have too much financial responsibility around the house.. I mean.. My parents are fine supporting me and whatnot as long as I'm still in school and making good grades.. Can't wait to see yours done up!

The dual case adapter came tonight! As stated before, this adapter goes between my stock transfercase and the crawl box..

I still need the front adapter (trans to crawl box), a 4.7 gear set, a couple couplers, an input shaft, and a dual stick setup for my rear case.

http://www.inchwormgear.com/store/pr...products_id=72


Still haven't torn down the 85 case.. couldn't get the rear flange nut off.. I know



Anyway.. I'll update soon..
