    I was thinking about getting one of those retention systems like off a chevy and stowing it under the gas tank. I'm not sure where it will go, but the tailgate is going to be 24", and after I square up the endcaps, it will be functional, just wide enough for my fat ass. I thought about doing the same thing with the top, and bring the top part down to the tailgate and put in a piece of lexan like a military hummer. That kind of defies the whole theme though, which is boatside the rear, hack the rockers and front fenders, put in a cage, wheel the piss out of it.

    Best thread all year!



    Mmmmm. Dove tail. Dig it! If it weren't for having to build a whole new cage, I would be all over it. Maybe someday once I bash the crap out of my tub or roll it bad.

    Spare? That's the kicker with 38"+ tires and H1 wheels. If you get a flat, plug it, air up, and keep wheeling. If you can't repair it, then it's worthless anyway. Cut off the tire (optional) and just limp back on the runflat.

    Good idea! Chris, are you paying attention? You could have done this 6 years and $25k ago (or whatever it's been).


    So what's the goal Jimmy? Memorial Day? Why don't you bring it down to work on it more?

    bought a sheet of 4x8 16ga to make the floorboard, at this pace I'll be done sometime after St. John! I should go work on it, but it's hot out there, we need to A/C the shop.

    It runs again, w/out exhaust. Still needs a lot of work before Clayton. Scored a third Camaro seat for my dream of a three seated scout...

    I sat on my tailgate last night, just like I thought, just wide enough for my ass! My fab work on this section can only be described as, "Fawking sick"
