Whitey

With whitey the way it is I determined it good enough to go on the hangover run as a shakedown run, the only thing I wanted to fab on it was the front winch mount and the front bumper. I still have the old warn 9.5 ti that was on my silver/blue truck and the rental complete with synthetic line so now it will live on its 3rd truck. The skid on the front of the truck was built to be a winch mount as well so that's where the winch sits on some formed 1/4" plate. I built the bumper on wednesday and finished it at about 3am and the whole time I was building it I hated it. I thought it was too plain compared to the twisty tube things I normaly build but I guess plain is what I was going for because this thing isnt suposed to stand out. Here's the finished product.

bumper looks sharp. if I had a Toyota, I'd be asking if you could make me one. hey, come to think of it, you should see if Money might be interested in your "simple" creation. I hooked him up with a Warn M8000 but I don't know if he has anything to mount it in/on yet.

Went out again today for a little r&d. Me and the goon (sh*tbreak) headed in to parts unknown for a little escape the shop witch (of course) resulted in a unplanned adventure. Perfect, that's EXACTLY what this truck was supposed to be for. We went up a road in the valley I had never been up before (omg! one exists/existed:D) Wich led to some boulders / creek / ice to crawl over in order to keep going. Frontend likes the rocks just fine! and the arb works too! After mobbing the gravvel with BIG drainage cuts it became obvious that the front WAAAAAY outshines the rear. But the rear is basicly stock, and hey, my deavers should be here on saturday :D:clappy:

Then do it. :cool: It's not that hard or expensive. :awesomework: Just keep it simple, whitey is a great blueprint and I cant have more than $600 in to the front suspension.

Knowledge I already had and dumb luck :D As well as testing everything every step along the way before making anything permanent. If something dosnt work out just right its nice to be able to change it easily.
