Go have fun in confidence. Can't wait to see it on the trails! ;D Pics added 25Jan07- Front rock bumper- Before  Base plate-  Ends will be capped-  Clamped tight for hole drilling and tack welding of brace behind plate-  Pics added 20Feb07... Stinger is bent and welded on, plate in bend radius will be drilled for spotter strap attachment or I may do something different like solid bar across bend. Stinger will be tied to tube fenders with bolts...    Final product-  It actually seems bigger in the pics than it is Michele. Come check it out, if you don't like it (take it to Crozet and hit Drivetrain Debauchery with confidence! you've got a good strap point now) I'll make you something else... |

Issues...issues... Okay, so I went and got the bigger tires on..the 33" ones... a) Kramer can't do the alignment...b/c it's not stock...so I have to go somewhere else ...hopefully Thursday afternoon before we leave.... but everyone is SO busy before the holiday weekend I've already called a couple of places that said they are busy until next week! b) The 33"...as expected, does not fit on the tire rack...AT ALL!! Even aired down it has issues...so...it's barely on there right now and I have to find a tire rack for now that will fit the tire b/c the 3rd light is off.  So....on the list to do before Thursday afternoon before we leave....(when was that ANYWAY??) I have to work Wed/Thu Get the CB installed.. Find a tire holder that will fit.... Get an alignment (yeah right) not loose my mind.. pack.  Oy...ironically I went to in service for work ..and the in service was about how to handle stress!! I really really needed it. Oh...and the odometer fix...that has been put off til next week. I'm not Superman you know.... |

Michele, I just got back in town. I'll get you squared away. Go to Bert's Alignment or 17th Street Exxon at the beach. They do all my alignments for lifted vehicles and I've never had a problem. Oh yea Merchant's on General Booth as well. I have to drop off my rental tomorrow a.m., when can you come over? I'll be getting my heep ready to go. Don't sweat the little stuff ie; cb I have some 2 ways so we can com on the road. Also I can wire the cb up and plug in my extra magnetic mount antenae now that I think about it, just to get ypu communicating. Main thing is alignment...
Norm-it wasn't free but let's just say she had a lot left over for other important stuff like skid plates! Oh yea and complete digital pics of build up. Try getting THAT at Pungo! ;D
