I've always wanted to explore the Hells Canyon area. Looks like there is a lot of good exploring on both sides of the snake.

There's also supposed to be some guy's private land that gets opened up once a year for a private event that is supposed to be incredible times, but I'm thinking it's a bit more hardcore than I'd care to do.

 

i felt like 2/3 of the game was spent running around huge ass maps just looking for people to dominate haha

 

Zach, you rock a ps3 or 360?

 

I must be really old, because I miss having goofy, fun games. I'm thinking of picking up Rayman Origins

 

for fun goofy games. fusion frenzy hands down on original xbox.

ive been playing alot of forza 4 recently

 

Finally got a chance to install these today. Overall everything went of perfectly. We decided to not use the frame plates as we would have had to cut/modify everyone to make them fit. I trust my friends welds with my truck. Well here are the photos.









And here is a close up of the welds, after paint.

 

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! That's a nice add on! Im jealous!

 

No frame plates

 

No frame plates. Honestly I don't see a need for them. The sliders get welded to the frame plate, the frame plate get welded to the frame along its edges. So the weak part is still the frame plate to slider weld. Why not just take the slider straight to the frame?

 

Here's how she's sitting. Need to do some more welding and some bending, but close.

 

because the gusset will penetrate through the frame when a large amount of upward force is applied to the slider. The plates are there to evenly distribute the force of the impact to a large area of the frame rather then the 1/4 thickness of the gusset.

 

Read above. Or... read bellow

 

We didn't use them. When we were mocking them up, would couldn't get a good seat on most of them with the frame. Between the rivits and other gussets on the frame we were going to have to notch or cut every frame plate

 

Post a photo of your plates please. You said you had to cut a bunch to make them fit

 

My bad I forgot to take pics. Yeah you have to cut them up a bunch... Thats why it took us two days to put mine on

 

I am finally getting around to posting some pics of my first Hunting trip in the Trask with my Taco!

The results were great and I am even more in love with my truck as a result!

Wait... how do i post pics?! haha
