Haven’t had time this week... finishing up yard duties, baseball practice, soccer practice, and my pop is in the hospital so I’ve been visiting him there. Friday night the fun should begin. I got drag my bender out and figure out how to use it again too (transfer case crossmember).
Bend, screw up bend, bend again, cut, screw up cut, bend again, cut again, notch, screw up notch, bend again, cut again, notch again....repeat
or keep it simple and use square stock and angle iron, at least for the trans mount.
My boss keeps saying the same thing.

square tube is certainly an option... probably be easier in the long run if I decide to a skid plate. That being said, it probably wouldnt hurt to refresh my bending/notching skills before getting to the cage (maybe do some slides and add to the bumper too).
I plan on using the TMR rear support (I helped design it a few years back!) and figure out something on the ORD front mount.

Oh, and I've had thoughts creeping back on using the 84 again. Lol. I hate myself....too much time standing around watching kids sports lets my mind wander and wander and wander.

Not too mention I picked up this 73 diamond in the rough for $200...

I love hi-jacking my own threads. Got a new shop clock for my birthday too:
I still support the truck idea, leave the K5 alone.

Pressure wash that nasty bitch. I'll bet under that moss and mold is a decent looking truck!
For a second there I thought you were talking about his new clock...
