Wow

Wow. This is incredible.

Too much? I should know where to draw the line, but when it's my own truck I'm building, that line just is really hard to see.

Thanks.

Oh, do you have a cold?

At least I know you're hooked!

There should be a support group for forum watchers seeking pics.

On a side note, I had to adjust one of my wheel bearings yesterday, which always perplexes me. I am a very meticulous mechanic (I spent ten years building racing engines and that will happen) and I have developed a method for installing and adjusting wheel hubs, but every once in a while, one needs adjusting. When this happens, it always has me wondering what I missed.



What are your methods for adjusting wheel hub bearings?

We have already covered this, have we not? You have an obligation to those of us living vicariously through you!

This is such an awesome build.....you should throw a chinook camper on the back instead of a bed.

I love being able to do a comparison shot on builds like this.

After you mentioned it I spent a little bit looking into it. It's a great idea, but I'd never be able to do any crawling with it. Wouldn't make a good expo rig either, too short. But it would make a fun back country vehicle.

I do it to keep me motivated...

No progress to report at this time. Too busy finding a use for a roller fairlead. I needed a rolling cart for my pressure washer hose reel so that seemed like the best use for the fairlead.

Really though, I've been busy with a customer's project.
