Not much has been done lately, been working too much. Got my 5 point harnesses with a bar behind the seat in. Flat bed has been sheeted with metal, bedlined and painted. Have to pick up some more tube and put few more pieces on the cage so that can be finished.

The gears are finally in. Trying to gather parts for rear disc conversion. Got another stick of tube to make my last cage piece. Then it's on to pulling it off welding it all up and gussets and finally paint. Measured for my shocks. Need to order a set of 14in travel shocks, unsure what I'll use. Then its on to the punch list of finally welds and paint. Building a square front shaft, undecided whether to go square rear or to order one see what the budge allows. After over a year of building and working you really loose motivation to continue, cause you just want to play!!!!!!!!!!!! I Dont envy the guys who take 3 or more years to build a rig, and money Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

Front axle back together finally. Ran into issues with rear disc conversion, but got it figured out should be back rolling by Saturday if, no more issues. Trying to locate a 1310 and 1350 yoke end for my drive shafts.

HAHA I wish, progress is slow. Talking to the drive line shop this week. A lot of finish welding to be done. Need to find a front window and a left side fender. Cage should be finished tacked and pulled next weekend if goes to plan. Gears installed Rear disc conversion complete Got a new toy for the shop so spent the day installing. 2 post A symmetrical Rotory hoist If work is slow this week I'm going to try shooting some paint on the flat bed and getting the frame preped to get a better coat of paint on. Need suggestions for a decent 14in travel shock that isnt going to break the bank at the moment( I'd like bilstein 5150s) but dont got the coin at the moment . Hopefully I get a sweet deal on my drive lines
