He's keepin that fire extinguisher close!

Yea he is! Especially after the other day.


Yea, the panhard is on the list of being plated.

Tony, I can’t afford any ratchet straps. Just bungee cords

 

[Bronco72]

It was a small fire... just in a bad place. LOL

 

[The Luke]

Yea....your arm....

 

[NickMaul]

Have you tackles the steering yet? I am going to start my 1 ton swap with an 05 SD axle and don't want to push my axle too far forward which would make fitting steering and trac bar a mess.

 

[The Luke]

Yep. As of last night it runs and steers. Still waiting to button up a few odds and ends before it’s mobile. But should be done next week.

For now, we merged the stock steering drag link with the factory ford one. Eventually, I’m going. To swap it all out for high steer and heims.

 

[poolman]

I'd say it would be done if bronco72 didn't set his arm on fire! :****:

 

[The Luke]

You are probably right...dude is a dang trooper.

 

[Bronco72]

****....I'd rather have a helluva cut vs a burn. I bet that hurt like a mother****er.....

 

[The Luke]

Yea, torching upper control arms out. He had the lines pulled up, but got just a hair too close

 

[The Luke]

Just picked the Jeep up and fueling up before I head home. It turned out perfect. We are still chasing a bug in the brakes. But it€™s only a matter of time and money. Lol

I can’t even thank Eeic(Bronco72) enough. For all the OT spent on this and putting up with me. Dude does some damn good work. Thanks again Eric and your army of cousins. Haha

 

[TBItoy]

So the front actually looks like it flexes...

Do you have both radius arms hooked up?

 

[The Luke]

Only one for now. Wasnt much happening with both uppers installed.

 

[tonybolton]

Good lookin hooptie!

 

[TBItoy]

Only one for now. Wasnt much happening with both uppers installed.

Cool, that’s what I figured.

You could always install the 2nd arm for street driving. molaugh

 

[The Luke]

It’s for high speed runs only. Lol

We had a blast at AOP this past weekend. Besides roasting my phone friday night. Jeep held up great overall. I'm working out some trackbar mount issues by ordering front frame stiffeners. But other then that, everything worked flawlessly. Once again, another trip that I forgot to take the gopro out of the truck and picture taking was pretty limited. Too much :driving: :driving:


On a sidenote, i was super glad to see AOP checking seatbelts at the entrance to the main trail. But, I saw SEVERAL little kids riding down the trails in the bed of sxs's. Absolutely made me sick to see a can am or something three wheeling with two 4yr ish olds in the bed with no helmets, harnesses or anything. I know that isn't aop's fault and it happens at every park. But, I guess now that I'm a parent I notice and am bothered by this stuff more. Or the number of people that were so drunk they couldn't stand, but they'd be driving a rig down a trail. We got stuck on the way out on friday night behind two guys that kept stopping every couple hundred feet to get out and talk, pee, whatever. That stuff kills me. :gtfo:

 

[BUG-E J]

I dont believe thats you and your phone. From now on i need you to also be holding a recent newspaper and a sign that says cowboy butts drive me nutts.
