how long before you can

it? Looks good so far!

tom w. · « **Reply #62 on:** Oct 16, 2007, 08:59:56 AM »

Really, I could drive it right now, but i don't have a steering column.

As long as I get the stuff I ordered from Marlin, I should be drivin' it within the next two weeks.

And thanks for the compliments.

Yeah buddy...

Shortly after those were taken, I went and picked up my new 33x10.50 Radial TSL's. Unfortunately I lost my camera, so no good pictures of it anymore.

Also, I'm hopin' to join up with some members of the Utah 4x4 club forum and maybe do some wheelin'.

Nah, the flowmaster has a "custom" turn down, so it blows out right in front of the axle.

Thanks dude! Wish it looked as clean as your truck.

tom w. · « **Reply #70 on:** Nov 01, 2007, 12:29:54 PM »

Been drivin' it around some... I love my TSL's, but I wish I had lower gears.

And my brother made these pregnant dogin' shock hoops.

tom w. · « **Reply #71 on:** Nov 01, 2007, 12:31:53 PM »

Oh, and I hooked up my Onboard Air today.

DTB · « **Reply #72 on:** Nov 01, 2007, 12:33:36 PM »

tom w. · « **Reply #73 on:** Nov 01, 2007, 12:35:46 PM »

tom w. · « **Reply #75 on:** Nov 01, 2007, 01:56:30 PM »

a lot of my fab work is kinda shady...

oddball · « **Reply #76 on:** Nov 01, 2007, 02:09:54 PM »

As long as it holds up and is fairly safe you should be good

tom w. · « **Reply #77 on:** Nov 02, 2007, 03:35:39 PM »

From the Onboard Air install.

Final assembly. Right behind that is my oil/water seperator, or whatever it is.

Custom intake, with in-line oiler since I'm using the stock A/C pump.

And we're done...

tom w. · « **Reply #78 on:** Nov 04, 2007, 10:20:43 AM »

Built me some half doors...

These are only temporarily done. I ran out of gas for the mig, but i'll fix them up nicer later.

Took her out for a little run around the Logandale Trails...

tom w. · « **Reply #84 on:** Nov 12, 2007, 08:16:50 AM »

Thanks man. I'm starting to realize just how much dual transfercases would help in the rocks... that and lockers.

fordh8r · « **Reply #85 on:** Nov 12, 2007, 08:24:04 AM »

! Looking good, man and nice flex there! $Beer Chug\'n$

tom w. · « **Reply #87 on:** Nov 15, 2007, 01:50:49 PM »

It's lookin' like I'm goin' wheelin' saturday with the Southern Utah gang, and I need some advice...

Will this hold?

DTB · « **Reply #88 on:** Nov 15, 2007, 02:36:07 PM »

depends on how well you welded it on...got any pics of the welds before paint?

tom w. · « **Reply #89 on:** Nov 15, 2007, 07:51:42 PM »

Nah, but it's basically 1/4" steel welded to the hanger... I got as much coverage as possible, I think. and I know I got good penetration.

I may take the clevis off and clean it up a little better, and if I do I'll try to snap a picture.
