The spare third is back toward the beginning somewhere. That was last year's mod before MCR4. We actually had to make use of it one cold rainy day back in Dec. on a trail here in FL while we were out with the Jeep Club.

I knew I missed it somewhere.  The buildup is so long that you kinda forget some things about it when its a freakin 50 pages long

[Lady Di]

50 pages! can you believe it? .... and here's more yet... so what's he up to now?

[unclejpl4x4]

Ya wheres are 50 page give away at  
we should all win something 

[Willy Mammoth]

Caught in the act of playing with my willy.

I crack me up 

I was making the jerry can holders. Here is how it looks so far.

I like the way the TIG rounded off the top edge so I didn't have to file it. 

[Willy Mammoth]

Is it just me or do you see the resemblance? 

[crawlerdan]

your freakin weird mark... great job man, cant wait to see it!!!  in the daylight thistime!!

[Willy Mammoth]

Maybe I should made them look like tusks. 

[crawlerdan]

i think that you should put another spare third on the other side, paint em like eyes...and then paint the stinger red so that it look like a tounge!!! maybe ive had too many beers tonight...carry on

[Rocksurfer]

I feel a disturbance in the force.

[*FFC*]

Wow is all i can say.  I haven't looked at this thread in over a month and you got so much accomplished! You guys never fail to impress me.  Very nice!





Did you go for that resemblance on purpose?

[black92se]

Dont really see the resemblance, but looks good.

[SWAMPER]

Mr W at what angle to you have your stinger?


Oh and BLACK92SE I dont like your avatar at all

[Willy Mammoth]

Mr W at what angle to you have your stinger?

Mr. Willy,
   I am new here and have complete;y gone through this build-up from page 1...to "50".  My hat is off to you (and the misses of course... looks like she has been much help).  The entire build-up has impressed me with you abilities.  Is there anything you can't do?  Not to mention you did it all in you garage!  Thought maybe you could just install a prop and some wings and just fly the thing up to the top of the mountain.... but that would take all the fun out of the trip now wouldn't it? You my friend are the man! You and the misses have done a great job with the documentation as well as the buil-up.  I have learned much from just reading about the whole process you went through from start...to now.  Please keep us informed of all the future progress.  And again....GREAT JOB!  MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU!

Looking good Mr & Mrs. Mammoth! When I spoke to Diane a few weeks ago she said that you were building an ExO. I'm still trying to figure out how you find time to work, eat sleep and post one the computer?  , we'll hook up soon.
Lator.......

[motorider228]

i'm sure you have answered this in the past and i'm sorry for asking but what's the deal with the diff on the front bumper?

[crawlerdan]

he uses it as a spare..you  know, just in case...i think hes actually needed it a few times because he was, and may still be running a high pinion in the rear...which could be bad. but answer is..its a spare third

[motorider228]

oh thats cool, so if he blows up his current thirds or something he can just pull the third out of there and swap it into the diff?

[crawlerdan]

yep...thats the idear

[Willy Mammoth]

OK, now what is this all about?

[nosey]

OK I give up (Ammo box)
