Sure have done a lot of work in the last week or two.  First I built some rockslider bars out of 3/16 square.  I notched the rockers to keep em tucked up.  Next the locker was shot so I installed a new aussie locker and serviced alll the bearings and seals.  I also built a set of leaf springs for the front.  Used the stock upper two fronts and added three leafs below of some springs I found laying in the yard somewhere.  It also gave me the opportunity to install some racho 9000's I bought at the junkyard for five bucks a piece.  Next my son let me use his 36 Irocs so I cut the rear wheelwells and the backside of the front wells.  I took a torch and warmed up that badass seam and pounded the living :pokinit: out of it.  It actually moved enough to where it just doesn't rub anymore.  Ended up having to extend the front driveshaft to keep it from falling out at full droop.  Gopt the doubler kit in the mail, but haven't had a chance to install it yet.
    Going to Clayton this weekend to try it all out.  I will try to post pictures before I leave out.
80 pickup swb, 4.3, 700r4, marlin 10 degree doubler, frt+rr 60's w/ 7.17's, full hydro, flat belly'd, 42 irocs, 17" mickey's w/ trailready's.
