[mayberry]

[mayberry]

[GONZO97]

looking good are you going to patch those back fenders back together???

[mayberry]

o ya i went up to my buddies who was using my welder and grabbed it and got home and realised i didnt get my adapter cord so i had no welder today but i will get it in the nex few days and finish her up

[mayberry]

all  pretty much done

[GONZO97]

There you go looking good man.... i figured you would patch them but hey sometimes you never know lol

[mayberry]

no i know where you are coming from i have seen alot of shotty work not so much here on marlin but with guys in the town i live in

[Dingman.]

Well it was nice meeting you man.  Bummer I couldn't wheel with you all.  I still gotta fixe my

[mayberry]

ya for sure but we will have to plan a trip i dont know my way around up there yet 
i went to highlakes with a bunch of guys from here in town we had a good time 
we went all up to a lake that had a section called the stair case  and we went all the way to the lake and back and no one broke  but on the way home i lost a valve stem and had to run all the way back to inskip  my buddies spare 36 up front
ill try to post pictures later today

[Dingman.]

Well so you guys went past spring valley. Not sure what lake you guys went to though.   At camp all we heard about was people breaking at Morris lake all day/night

[mayberry]

[mayberry]

[Dingman.]

Ahh.  Morris lake

[mayberry]

ya and is was gnarr comin out for sure but we left a winch at the top of that first climb on our way out  and we all had to have a little assistance but not bad it was cool i would like to check out more places and i hear that morris is the hardest is there anywhere up there comparable because like i said it was hard just because of how slippery the smaller rocks are

[Dingman.]

Um.  I'm not super familiar with all the places up there.   The wall at saddle is sometimes a challenge. And I hear bear lake is hard to get to.  Well at least that is what my buddy tells me. I've never heard of it or even know where it's at

[mayberry]

i was talking to a guy today about pipe jam near bear lake and he said it is pretty hard and almost easier or faster to get to from concow

[86bobbedtoy]

yeah
closer on the concow end.

[mayberry]

Done Did some stuff today

[mayberry]

Thats 3/8 steel i should be able to hit anything as hard as i want and only hurt my back

[gtoyonrocks]

That's a sweet bumper and a nice looking runner.. Nice work.

[86bobbedtoy]

humm bumper looks kinda.......... familiar
great work, looks awesome and should withstand a nuke

[NorCalToy]

got anymore pics of the sliders? they look to be plate sliders...?

any plans for putting the white black stripe paint job on the  fenders again? it looked cool as hell

[mayberry]

ya there 1/4" plate ill try to get pictures today at some point i need to get on the water i haven't been out on my ski in a week 

[mayberry]

and for the paint i think im going to do a much cleaner job with it with real paint so it will be shinny and when i do the stripes ill mask everything off and not just hack it on like i did the first time

[mayberry]

[gtoyonrocks]

Those sliders are interesting. I would like to see some more pictures of those. Is there anyway you could post some more. If you went flat belly you could build a full skid plate.

[pumkin toy]

wow thats some massive plate work!  I like the sliders, cool to see something different than tube. Are you stick welding everything?

[mayberry]

      I am planning on goin flat belly eventually i just want to re locate my tank first  so i can just cut the floor put it all in place and weld her back up in a weekend. i also need to save for the plate that big of a peice will cost arould a hundred bucks im sure  so ill do everything i can than buy the plate and do it.
     is there anyting in particular you would like to see pictures of it seems like i took cool pictures to see what they where and how they look
      no im mig but my cable needs to be replaced so my beads pulse not allowing me to run a pretty bead

[NITE KRAWLERS]

Holy huge front bumper man, ya planning on taking out redwoods and blazing a new trail through the great wall of china to the rockies and through the jungle and straight through the bath tub at moab or wat!!! HA HA looks good though man. Cool runner to bro and ya the sliders are way cool different too!! I would think you are putiing a top plate on of some kind but maybe not??

[bleakhorizon]

i really like the sliders.... wish i could make a set like that but around here they would fill up with mud after the first couple of minutes lol....
