A.J.'s Runner - "Please Stand-by"...Product Review

[*** YELLER ***]

very nice  AJ good job  you do goodwork my friend 

[CTENG in KS]

Rail is all finished! 





I tried out my new step drill bits today.  I got the cheapo HF ones for like $15.  I should have got a set of these a LONG time ago!  These things are awesome!!

Hey...what you think of my new tig welding skilz!!??

[skipnrocks]

Tig loos pretty sweet!!  Is this your first time doin it?   Are you going to reinforce the hub for your spare?

[CTENG in KS]

Ooooooops...sorry!  Did I say tig...I meant my imitation tig flux core welding skilz...

[CTENG in KS]

Yes, but not at all in the way you think.

[skipnrocks]

Yes, but not at all in the way you think.

How do you know its not the way I think?   






LOL  I figured one down tube would be great since the tire and bed would keep it from lateral toggle.

[CTENG in KS]

Cause the "brace" will involve no structure that is currently in the picture...it is a whole completely new part.

[skipnrocks]

Cool do you have a photochop job to show what your thinking?

[CTENG in KS]

No...You can see it when I build it...

[unclejpl4x4]

[DTB]

u never cease to amaze me AJ 

[CTENG in KS]

Working on the tire protection/brace.  It will rotate off a poly bushing to access the tire and bolt on with two of the lugnuts.






Check it out.  Redneck dimples!   

[skipnrocks]

LOL I like the redneck dimpler!!  Dude is that big whole in the wall a result of vehicular frustration?  LOL   

[CTENG in KS]

Nah, alway been there...

[THK Matt]

and what good is a flat spare?   do you think about things or just post random whorish messages?

[CTENG in KS]

Easy there children.  It is there for two reasons.  It provides a second plane of support for the tire since it is cantilevered off the flatbed.  It also should function as a skid plate/slider so I don't get hung up on the tire if I lean that side onto a rock.

[DTB]

more please

[CTENG in KS]

No more yet...can't work on the truck till I get off of teh werks.

speaking of whorish

Oh great idea.

[CTENG in KS]

It is tough to see in these pictures, but this is kinda how it will mount.  Joints STILL haven't gotten here yet.  I ordered this stuff last week.  I hate when things are slow to get here... 

[skipnrocks]

Ahh thats cool!!

[CTENG in KS]

It also helps get rid of that "floating" effect the tire had before.

[skipnrocks]

Does it hug the tire, or is their a little spare room for incase you upgrade tire sizes?

[Cheesemaker]

Looks good AJ! 

So, what is going beside the gas tank?  Your MiniSimp box? 

[THK Matt]

looks to be some room.

[CTENG in KS]

I tried to leave enough room to upgrade to a taller, skinnier spare tire.  Maybe a 38x11 bogger.  I am going to jump to a larger tire size soon I hope...was gonna go 38.5x15 boggers, but the 40 inch LTB's are coming out soon and they are very tempting.
