todays happenings, and a little post whoring :elkgrin: its fun for me... 'kay? also, a perfect opportunity to preach to anyone bored enough to be looking at this about good wiring. this might be almost interesting to read because there will be a few pictures. some of the stuff i like to have...

tried a little practice run on camo paint just for grins. figured out some do's and don'ts... this is not the pattern i would use in any case... it was fun tho and looks okay i guess (for now) just the back is painted... repaired and more robust bottom frame crossmember. she must want...

well, that didn't take long... guess i got a wild hair today... there are several things i didn't like about the rear panel of the m-100: the oval holes the 16 extra bolt holes (yup, 16) the placement of the tag. the bent up lower section wasn't a fan of the back-up light and position... a...

does it come with the hose? :) i can't see good enough to say what i'd pay for it. i would get a real close look at the frame too tho..

used some silicon to glue in the tail lights.. i bet i could still seperate the rings from the leds if i wanted... this thread will prolly fade into obscurity now that i am at a place i can ponder things... if i do anything, i will post up.

you are correct. i measured after the pic with the chains crossed before i cut and counted my lucky links. :sombrero:

been pretty busy around here but got some more stuff done today... well, don't think i am going to "WOW" anyone but here's what i decided to do: cut some strap about four inches long and attacked both pieces with the drill press and a few other manly tools. my helper today wanted her...

yup, spring under, plan on keeping it there for a lower center of gravity

been a good weekend for man time in the garage! here's a few pix from today: started off by removing the powdercoating from the extention i used. best way to do this is heat it up with a blowtorch. it is quicker with an oxy acetylene torch which blew it right off in a hurry. a wire wheel took...

well, i got to do a little bit of work today in the garage... i wanted to find out where i needed the length to be from the other side with things kind of laid out. notch and bend... 3/16" plate on top, this will be overkill i think but it will make a nice platform for whatever goes...

i'm not sure if anyone is following this or not but i wanted to mention a small flaw in my light selection... on the first page you will see truck-lite LEDs mounted in grote reflective rings: i made this selection to match the tail lights on my tj... the problem is, they don't stay snapped in...

looked a bit closer at my trailers tongue: the welds were perferated, the c-channel tongue was bent. it was also off center as i suspect it was jammed together in haste by the last owner. here's a few pics of what is being eliminated: 2" reciever and a plated a frame coming....

this arrived while i was away. maybe i can rework that tongue with the square stock and get rid of that "not-so-good" assy that was cobbled together by a previous owner..

looks like a fun build. 35s are the limit for me too. i like to have a very streetable rig along with a very able machine off road all int one! and it is :) as far as bits and pieces, there are ways to get things cheap in a legal manner :D buying bits one at a time is expensive, buying a pile...

well, when i was hauling those bikes, one of them popped out a tail light... they snap right back in. figured i would take care of that with some stuff i had laying about.. had some .5 rod and 3/16 plate, thought i try some stuff.. yeah, close enough for me i guess... whatever wants to...
