I'd like toadd a "winter my ass!"

I had to but in my 60 in 10 degree weather in an unheated garage!



Yeah.....if you don't have to use a shovel to find your toolbox, it's NOT winter! :D


For a laugh, I should post a pic of how much snow is INSIDE my garage right now..... stupid gusty winds!!

Tell me about it! I was freezing my behind off outside last night. Finally had to put on some long sleeves about 10pm...
 
It's like 80 here... Got down in the 50's for a while, brrrrrrr :grin:

Anyway, update on the truck. On last weds I got the wrong driveshaft parts so I basically gave up on having it driveable by Friday and stopped working on it. Went wheeling on Friday through Sunday without my truck and got sick around Saturday and just getting over it today. Yesterday I managed to put the new coilovers on the front and check out everything, front coils seem a little stiff but we'll see. Trying to rest today and start working on it this weekend...
 
Who's ready for an update?

Exo cage coming together:

Yeah, get ya some! :pimp1:
 
Is there going to be any way to support the exo-cage bar that runs down between the doors so it doesn't take a hit and bend back like it did last time?

Need some more 1.25" square tube to finish the inside of the bed and skin it.

Moved rear axle forward 20", looks mucho betero:

Yep, I did and I have... But now I have another truck as a daily driver and want a itty bitty bed :grin:
 
Lookin more like a buggy burb :grin: . I like it. I don't know how you stand to work on a muddy rig. I would have hosed that thing off before I took it a apart. Heck I hose mine off (undercarrage) after every run.
