[Ricky Bobby]

Soon as i got home i hadnt slept in 32 hours but i was so eagr to get it in i just tried to stab it in.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Front view. Kinda liked it lol

 

[Ricky Bobby]

And that boys in girls was the last time she had a roof. Guess i learned something from the jeepers and girls gone wild. Some things are better topless.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

There was no other way to get the cage in.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

It still didnt fit all the way in but i wanted to get the half way boat siding/rock sliders in to tie in the cage. Son loves playing in it

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Got the brakes done and at that point i needed a bigger welder. Lil 95 just tacked everything up there. Time to take it to my buddies house. Dang she looked good one the trailer

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Cut out the floor, re measued everything, tons of cutting and welding involved. Thank god for good friends because it was 104° outside.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Went a.d.d on it i was so happy to finally be getting some real work in on it

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Unfortunately i cant afford the b52 kit and the springs i need so i have a flat spring on the driver side but true 6" maybe 7 is where i need to be. Hopefully

In day 3 the transmission comes back from the trans shop. Shop needed the tcase to make sure itd all fit right. The lied. But im a persistent/proud texan so i decided to hack up the adapter that we make from 1" drill stim and 1/4 plate.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Dont mind the mess

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Wish i took pics of the hacking and steps we took to get it perfect. Fought for 8 hours to get it right.

Loved the chop top and i was set on having it this way. Life doesn't work like that tho. With always having my son with me, he had 2 inches head clearance from the cage at 9years old. Dead gum it. Chop top k5 had such a good ring to it too

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Change wasn't level, kinda just thrown in but still looked cool. Least to me

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Got my JB cable shifters installed... watched the youtube video install from jb fab. Did everything he it told me not to. Drop the fork on both sides. Just my luck but got it done. Wasnt to bad even with my great luck. Works awesome. Adjusted to where i liked it. To smoot and i couldn't tell which gear i was in.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Got the cage in. Now time for all the little stuff.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

But first.... =)) the part we all love. The flex test. Time to measure

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Perfect measurements for trimming the rear. Didnt rub and the overload acted as my bump stop right where i needed it to

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Maxed out his skid steer. Rear tires started lifting up but my shackles showed i had plenty more to go

 

[Ricky Bobby]

My front not so much. Front axle definitely has to come forward. Trying my hardest to keep the front clip on without dove nosing it.
