Looking good.  When did you weld the front? 

[yotaboy79]

the front became welded when i took my broken therd (ring and pinion) and put it in the front and welded the one that was in the front and put it in the rear i can milk a little more out of the broken ring and pinion sense it only broke about half to 2/3 of a tooth of

[Hyena]

Sweet.  You tested it yet?  It made a world of difference for me when i did it.

[yotaboy79]

Does the x-brace cross all the way through or is it just the top half?  Trucks looking sweet, nice avatar!

[yotaboy79]

thanks skinny
cteng what are you asking about the cross brace there is one that goes from side to side just above the bed and then there are the two that come down at an angle and conect to that ill put some more braces further down when i get rid of the bed, does that answer ur question?

thanks kyota yeah the tree did a # on it although im kinda glad it hit the tree cuz if it missed that one tree that was in the way it would of gone down a 15-20ft? embankment and most likely land on its lid
oh yeah and next thing on the list of things to do is to get my e-brake working lol
