The seat is in, and not just sittin there its realy bolted to the floor :gap:

As far as the 83 you suck !!!! :tantrum: not only will I have to build the trailer but then hope the 83 dont fall off on the trip home. WE need to do that after WE build the trailer than I bought for your YODA, ol' buddy, remember  :slap: oldyeller can drive faster than 35 mph down the road :driving:  it doesnt require a trailer to go from here to there.. :idiot:  I dont know, :dunno: I just felt like calling you an idiot.

that doesn't seem to offer much corner or even front protection to me. It would be more like a bull/push bar. :dunno:

I doubt we will be able to get it but if we do it will only be for bumping into trees and rocks pretty much like a bull bar it is mainly for radiator protection.  If we don't get it we'll end up putting on my old chromie  :gap:

p.s. dave, Cristie says "Hi Princess"  :idiot: :gay:

Black Rock Krawler Wheels 15x10"

Interco Tire Superswamper Boggers 35x14.50x15R

Marlin Crawler 1.5" Wheel Spacers (Front)

Just wondering, what kind of backspacing are you running on those wheels, and do you get any rubbing with that setup?  Up front since you have no bed.

thanks

The front does not rub at all.
The rear (which out flexes the front now) rubs on the top of the frame.
The wheels are 15x10" 3.25" BS with 2" spacers in the rear and 1.5" spacers in the front.
