thank you thank you!!
tomorrow i hope to get some front shocks done and some more work on the front d shaft.
also want to get some work done on the rear bump stops. the plan is to weld some 2.25" square tubing to the stock bump stop that comes off the frame. eventually i would like to completely box it in. or maybe put a small fish tank in there. some pimp your ride bull shizz. or a 7" lcd monitor ohhhhhhhhh.

found out this week i will not be able to do a run to dusy this aug. iam pretty bumbed cause i have wanted to do that trail for like 2 years now, but its for a good reason.
i already have tickets to go to the rock the bells festival. if you havent heard of it, it is a once in a life time hip hop concert in San Fran. it was a hard choice but iam pretty sure the dusy trail will be there another time. but it was with a pretty cool group of guys so i wish that i could do both.
iam lookin for runs late aug and on. i will be checkin all sites seein who is going where.
i want to hook up with the nowhitefenders crew some time this year seem to be good people

[havik]

i have been workin a little here and there but between my wife hogin our computer for school and me being lazy i havent updated in a while. nothing big though

[havik]

before i put my shocks and bump stops on i got to play with the fork lift to see just where i wanted every thing

[havik]

front marlin shock hoops and marlin bump stops 

[havik]

i followed minisimps instructioins for the front square tube d shaft and rick did some great welding for me. should hold up nice
  thank you chuck norris

[havik]

got my marlin sliders on

[havik]

doing the rear leg on the rear spring hanger was a little tricky
we are working on the gussets for the legs. they are going to be out of .25" plate or bar

[havik]

i also need to get pictures of the corbeau seat and tonight iam mocking up a tow point for the front. its going to be a bolt on d ring for now till my new marlin front bumper comes in.

just ordered the Marlin ts 4.7 T-case gears. did the con for the first time last weekend and i was burnin up my clutch trying to go easy. iam thinking about getting the fror tcase mount and skid.
i didnt get any pix from the trip but we got some good video when we get it all edited up i will post a link.
also got a little body damage and i will get around to getting some pix.

[havik]

when i did the con the only body damage i got was on my pass side in the rear. it was towards the beginning. nothing serious iam sure most of it can be hammered out.

[havik]

just another view.

[havik]

i knocked the rear diff alittle. i will have some protection before i do any more con runs

[havik]

next week the front bummper will be welded in. thing looks so sick, and you cant beat the price

[havik]

nothing to do with the build but my wife found this box of tools for $75. it was an open box then discounted to %50 off.
:love:she did good

[jimbo74]

does that bumper tie to the frame anywhere else than the 6 bolt holes on front? if not, i can jsut see that bumper ripping off and taking hte frame with it

[havik]

after doing the con i think i want more body protection in the rear. this is an idea i have of what i want

[havik]

does that bumper tie to the frame anywhere else than the 6 bolt holes on front? if not, i can jsut see that bumper ripping off and taking hte frame with it

yeah i dont even have the 6 spots to bolt in in to. i lost 2 of the bolt holes when i hit a phone poll. good times.
iam goint to have tube connecting the bummper to my shock hoops and also from the lower bummper tube to my marlin front xmember. eventually i would like the front bummper to also connect to my slidders. but i think i want to get glass fenders if iam going to have front fender protection. i like the look of glass but i would be pissed if i cracked my $300 dollar fenders.
ya know

looking good man

when i got this truck it had bad rust on both sides of the windshield so i finally took it down to the body shop to get it fixed. after they pulled the windshield and cleaned all the surface rust and paint off they called me to the shop to see how bad it was. they had to cut out 1/4 of the windshield pillars the rust was so bad. the biggist hole was prolly a little bigger than a thumb but all together there were about 10-12 rust holes in the windshield frame. i also got a new windshield and opted for the tinted one. had them paint the top of the cab and shot the hood gloss black.

[havik]

yes
