[QUOTE="Fordzuki, post: 1471524, member: 17662"] I went and got more argon today and "finished" up the backboard today. I say "finished", because I'd like to add some provisions to chain/tie things to it, for longer distance travel. I was going to add two uprights on the lower section, directly below the two upper ones, but they'd have made it a pain to get the hitch pin in. I'm thinking a couple triangle gussets in the lower outer corners, with some keyhole style chain hooks cut into them will finish this thing off. [IMG]http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/zooksnorthwest/87a9b7bc.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/zooksnorthwest/5d20cc5f.jpg[/IMG] I added these "walls" to keep the forks from being forced inward and free of the backboard clamps. [IMG]http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/zooksnorthwest/3d2dc1c8.jpg[/IMG] I started looking into mounting the rear winch, and in the process, my rear shocks were removed and upper shock mounts cut off... :redneck: I cut a new crossmember from the leftover dom from my draglink upgrade... 1.5"x.250" The winch will be tucked between this and the rearmost tube crossmember on the frame. [IMG]http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/zooksnorthwest/dd3f4e7f.jpg[/IMG] The winch cable off, I'm going to upgrade it to 1/4". [IMG]http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx146/zooksnorthwest/a65f6a3e.jpg[/IMG] Tucking the shocks back up there is going to get very interesting. From the looks of things, I could stand to loose an inch or two of uptravel on the shocks with the current suspension travel, so they're going to get outboarded as much as possible on the upper mounts, to also help in the cornering/sidehilling department. There may or may not be some new lower mounts needed by the time it's done... [/QUOTE]
