That thing will be bad ass on the Rubicon
Not a wheeling rig. Never will be. I have other plans in that direction.
Rockwells, 385/85/r20(46") goodyears, a rear engine, 600-700hp (atleast) duramax and Ultra4 capable suspension. I WILL be racing The King Of The Hammers, maybe not this coming race, but the 2017 KOH for sure. I learned a few things about keeping vehicles running in sh!t conditions while serving as a mechanic in a CAV unit in Iraq. 150+ cars starting KOH and less than 40 finishing is...lame. So many broken cars and busted parts. I did pit crew for car 4458, lucas oil, koh 2012, as well as co-builder on a separate Ultra4 car, I've learned a LOT from those experiences. All the DNF's point towards engineering failures, inexperience, oversight and giant ego's. I'll finish the race...while towing a broken car across the finish line with me.
Awesome dooder. Might have to catch a plane in 2017 then... It'd be cool to see yer stank ass again.

A lot finish, just after the allocated time. Make sure you post up your car number so I can keep tabs on yah!
Got a few things done today. Pulled 454, pressure washed everything.
I had hoped I wouldn't have to pull the winch/bumper too. Unfortunately the engine hoist didn't have enough reach.

Nice progress.
Put the 454 up for sale over on Pirate. Someone buy this thing and get a free vortec 350 with it.

What are you doing for exhaust? Long tubes?
Haven't really thought about exhaust yet. Lots more other stuff to think about first.Might end up just using factory manifolds.

Yeeehaaa! For the first time in my life, I have a welder up and running and shop/workspace thats mine, where I live, my house, not my gramps or someone elses house or shop. Took me almost 39 years to achieve...holy balls you have no idea how good that feels. Wooohoooo!!
Looking forward to what you can do now that it's just outside your door. Digging the progress man
I found my ORD crossmember today too. Bought it 3+ years ago.
Awesome, your own space= a very good thing man!
