What one man can do, so can another!
It really is nice to be able to build stuff. I took a welding class a couple years ago and that really helped me out! I've been a Machinist for 20 years now. Glad you are enjoying watching. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

With the extra 2" lift that I got with the skyjacker springs I think getting the camper in will be a little tough. I could barley lift it high enough before. So I built some cribbing for jack extensions. They are 8" square and 12" tall. Glued and screwed together. I made them out of pallet wood from work so they were nearly free\o/ They should store in the front cubbyholes of the camper when it's loaded also.
Before I lode it up there are a couple little things that I want to do. The front corner is splitting a little. I knocked it back together last time we used it but it came apart again. I bent up some 20'ish gauge at work that will be corner brackets. these should make it pretty strong.
The truck was running a little rough so I'm having the carb rebuilt. I bought a kit last week and its at a friends shop now. I hope to have it back in a couple days. I know how you guys like pictures so here is one more.
At the Pick A Part where I got my fancy door there was a T Bucket that they had built as their parts runner. It must be nice to have an unlimited supply of free tires. They did about 5 burnouts while we were there(o:
Thanks for watching\o/

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. My wife is still sick and there was some stuff around the house that needed taken care of.
Today I installed that new/old door and I finished welding up my fancy Grill. I'll get back on the rear bumper this week\o/ I also picked up a set of nice Wagon wheels to put on my truck. I'm going to blast and paint them soon

Stay tuned for pictures,

Here is my new door with less rust than the old one(c: We had to nearly take off the fender to get it to fit.There is some previous damage that has the fender needing a little more work.
The grill I like! I turned some threaded bushings that were welded onto the back so I could use the original mounting holes. I'll get a picture of that when when I pull it off to blast and paint.
I have new power steering hoses that I am trying to find time to install next. Then back on the rear bumper\o/
