Id put a bigger gusset on that rear bumper if i were you. If you ever happen to need to get winched (like being stuck on soup bowl lodged behind that big rock on the driver side) then it will bend the crap out of those mounting plates.

If you mean the flat bar, those were only there to align the bumper to the mounting plates.  I have some gussets I was going to use, but it got the flopp it treatment.  I'll look tomorrow and see if I can get at them.

so I ended up going to walmart today...got me a pooin bucket and some propane to cook my vittles with.
I know it's  not as hi-tech or cool as Mini's Poo Box, but I think it'll work...


You know, I purposely went to the least attractive/beasty looking cashier...when she realized what I was buying she got all  
her: uhhh...I didn't realize what it was.
me:Yeah, pretty cool, huh?
her: uhm...yeah, sure.

[Wermz84]

I could just see you saying that with a straight face!

yeah...but you've seen me in action!

[Duffil]

OK yall, I picked up some lights, and I plan on putting one in the rear, facing backwards, mounted to my shock tower, the ovals are gonna go high up above the sliders on either side, and I've got two more for the front...just not sure where to mount em...any ideas?

[Jud]

Nice! Light is always good!

[kneedownnate]

Nice!  If I ever get off my ass and work on mine, that is if I ever get a damn engine, I want to get all led rock lights.  I like the idea of being able to leave them on for a long time with minimal draw.

what year engine do you need? and what are you looking for?

I didn't go with the LEDs because these are sooo much cheaper...even at 10 over cost.  I was gonna go all ovals, but they cost me like 13 and the 4411 Tractor floodlights are 8 bucks and way brighter for close to the same amp draw.

[kneedownnate]

A good early tall 22r block.  Just wanna be able to build my head, slap it on and

I don't have any of those in good shape. Everything I have is at least needing a rering. 

[Duffil]

[Jud]

Did you get new wheels too?

[kneedownnate]

I like, I like   What brand, size, how much?

[Duffil]

Did you get new wheels too?

yep. I'll get a pic of them later.

[Duffil]

I like, I like   What brand, size, how much?

Uhm...I gotta go look hold on...33x12.50s though.

[Duffil]

I acquired them as partial trade on the front axle parts I put on the '70 Land Cruiser I was helping to build.
no idea how old they are, but they're more aggressive than what I have now.

[Jud]

U wanna sell/trade your old wheels?

[*** YELLER ***]

Nice 

[Duffil]

U wanna sell/trade your old wheels?

all 4 for your FROR bumper? sure, let's do it!  Depends...do you want the tires as well? I'm taking 2spares to MCR and I'd like to keep one wheel (or get another) so I can have a spare.
