I am looking at having them waterjet cut hopefully in a way they are bendable but its such a small item I have tabled it. I do have a few left of the original i just need to tack them together. Which in this case is not the easiest. Wait till after the holidasy and I will see if I can get something together for you guys. Just keep reminding ok.

The roof rack wiring is finally getting done.

I just have to clean them up and give them a fresh coat of white paint and I officially have an entire matching set of wheels for the Mule and the trailer.

Good old stock steelies. 16x6.5 4" backspacing and a 3024lbs load 80psi max.

When are you swapping to 8 lug axles?

Around March or so. Still needing to save pennies. Its a domino effect moving to 8 lugs. new axles= New wheels= new tires, while im under there lets do news suspension too!

 

[pma4x4]

I'm hoping to get it all done in one shot, but if not do you think I can run a 3" lift with the factory steering until I can get the cross over setup built?

Cool Video....and Merry Christmas to you & yours!!!

LOL tell me about it, mine was already 8-lug and i still did all that!

It's been busy around here but I am finally getting back to the sliders.

I have the passenger side mounted up. I am finishing tacking in the frame legs today on that side. If I am lucky i may have the driver side tacked together by this evening.

Interesting construction, I've not seen these bushed before, I like the theory though.

This was mentioned a few pages back. There was a guy who already did this design and found it to worked great with a body on frame vehicle.

 

[Greg Ducato]

Must have missed it, but I will go back and review, thanks!

 

[pma4x4]

Both sides are welded up and re installed for final fitment check. I am still waiting to hear back from powder coating on the estimate.

The expanded mesh was added so the dogs don't break their legs getting caught between the tube and box iron when they jump up. Plus it will add traction for us when muddy or icy.
