Nice job!

Justina....tick tock...

[*FFC* [OP]]

Tick Tock is right I'm excited.. can't wait till they get here.. I dunno bout gettin that bumper done by MCR, but at least I'll have some gears

[4runnin_87]

just got done reading over the build looks good...keep it moving

[MiniSimp]

Did ya get it yet?!?

[*FFC* [OP]]

Well I mocked up the bumper I inherited from Blackdoggy

Got some big plans for this one.. just haven't quite figured out how to protect the headlights though

[BLACKDOG]

Looks good, but could you raise it some?    I think it'd look a little better, and you could run some tube off the center peice around the headlights and down to the crossbar  

[*FFC* [OP]]

I kinda wanted to keep it where it is so that I can eventually put a winch in it yet though... I might put a piece of square tube in between the bumper and the base though. 



Also, the gears should be here any time now.  Ran the tracking number and they've been in Cali since this morning

gotcha!  It kinda looks like you put a body lift on it, but didn't lift the bumper ( Iknow you didnt)    But if you're going to put a winch in there, it'll fill that space nicely.    I like it!

FFC: I'm kinda new to the 'crawler croud' and this thread and after readin ALL THE WAY THRU ,I must say that I'm pretty impressed  :bowdown:w' the 'Miga build up .A couple o' points #1 how 'bout a "comp cut" to the rear fenders to allow a MUCH greater wheel base and a less severe driveline angle? (I KNOW 'bout the COST factor ,bit a new vehicle to replace the roll ravaged one seems MORE of a waste!) #2 I think some of the previously drawn in ideas (stinger) would have made fer a better bumper design,but maybe youse can grind the lower pipe stubs flat,bend some smaller diameter tube and insert(did he say insert?) it into the HOLE and burn it to the bottom of the upper tube  just fer a start. I AM pretty artistic(autistic?) and could prob'ly draw up some designs to finish out the bumper,but I don't do computer to good :willynilly:and I don't have a scanner :rivers:so you'll hafta depend on yer friends in Cali an' AZ to help ya there. Of course, I guess yuh cood tell me ta kiss yer ,but that wooden bee LADY-like,woodit? Oh,yeah...and don' ferget ta tie some braces(bumper)in to that chunk o' square tube up front! Yuh already stood it on the rear,how long before the front?

Thank you! I appreciate all the pointers I can get.  I was thinking of going with this bumper as it's more of a last minute thing and I won't be able to get the stinger steel before the roundup So I may just put the stock bumper back on until I can get the tube... OR I'll just put the one on that I have and worry bout the bumper later.  I appreciate your input! Keep it up

[sinbob]

Have you jumped your amigo or the previous owners of the axle jump their truck? That housing looks bent...

I was on all 4's on Cadillac last year... I have welded a little bit on the housing, and put the truss on (top)

Thanks, I'll have to pay more attention next time I pull er out of the garage.

I was just going by this pic. It looks like it may be bent at the ball on both sides... Cause it looks like the tires are like this /=O===\ just not that bad... or is it

[*FFC* [OP]]

You are correct.. the tires are like /=O===\ I just haven't taken the time to look and see what exactly it is.  I figure when I pull the axles apart to put the new thirds in we'll find out for sure

[Rocksurfer]

Don't want to find out that way, it'll be when you try to put those axle shafts back in and they won't go.

They will, just leave the steering arms off till they are in.
