    Shoot your super generous at 10k to let yours go. I’ve turned down some pretty serious offers but think i would let mine go for around 35k just because I think that’s what it would cost to build another that’s similar capabilities in reality.

    Oh I’d never sell it for $10k because I could never financially justify building one to replace it for less than $30k. I just think that if I had to sell it, it would probably only go for $10k since I’m in the upper Midwest, wrinkled up body, on Toyota axles, and no LS

    The driver delivering a bathroom vanity at my house asked me if my truck was for sale this morning, I told him $100k and he laughed and left. So my $100k valuation is not correct LOL

    You're in the southeast now, is it even possible to get gas anywhere without at least one conversation on if your truck is for sale and when you're going mudding next :D

    Any issue running hard 90 fittings off the orbital to run down to the ram?

    Got my frame side link mounts in place. Pulled them off to full weld and gusset then I’ll weld them back to the truck. I need to even out the height on my axle side lower link mounts because they’re off like an half inch and move the upper like a half inch outwards to clear the motor. Otherwise it’s time to start on steering/panhard and cycling.

    What do you mean by hard 90s? I used all 90s on mine when I had full hydro on my older Toyota, it seemed to work just fine.

    What's your plan for the upper on the frame side that's floating in the abyss right now?

    I didn’t know if it was better to try to make a long bend with hose or a shorter piece and do a 90 fitting like below. Tight fit in there.

    Those are the same fitting that I used. It should be fine.

    It looks like it will be a real bitch to get a welding torch to the frame but it may be just the angle of the picture.

    What did someone tell me when I brought this up, just jack the body up and off the frame until you have enough room, super easy......

    I'm curious to see how you get your head in there, or will you pray and spray it? I used a mirror for part of mine when I did the frame choppity cop.

    I’m pretty good at looking at it sans helmet, pulling my head back and getting the hood down, and then being able to stay on it without being able to actually see the puddle. If I can see any of the tip of the gun, I can follow it pretty damn well.

    If I pull the crawlbox back out I’ll be able to see it perfectly. May actually just do that.
