Thanks Jon! Its nice having someone actually take pictures, lol.


I got a group shot from the hotel parking lot and that's it.


This one from your acct sums up my issue quite well:

 

One hell of a trip!

any of you bring a welder on the trail?

 

^not in our group

 

Anyone need some Ford D60 knuckles








For a guy in NC copying my swap

 

I wonder who this NC guy could be

 

Its actually not Lurry...maybe lurry will get some brackets from me as well. Making up a set of my bulletproof frame end brackets for this guy as well.

 

Got the pressbrake all together and working...got a chance to give it a shot making a winch mount for the front of a trailer:


Step 1. Cut some shit out of 1/4" plate and drill some holes in it:





Step 2. Put it in the press:





Step 3. Bend some shit:





Step 4. See if it all worked:

 

This ought to be good!

How's the Swag press brake? May be my next tool purchase.

 

Not what ur thinking, lol. I like the pressbrake so far, but its not overly versatile.

 

For winching jeeps onto the trailer?

 

Unfortunately not even my trailer. I haz no trailer. But it was a fun little project to try out the new tools

i bring an actual welder with me when i wheel. i was asking more because if any of yall had one, or did the battery trick, it would have been a fairly easy bandaid fix to get mark mark on the road home. just plate up the broken leaf and be on your way (cautoiusly)

 

Way easier to just swap in another spring if its available. Otherwise using two batteries and some rod works fine for me.

 

yeah, i have a lot of spare parts with me when i wheel, but no leaf springs. that would be a nice easy fix though.

 

I was able to ditch tons of spares. Now all I am going to carry is a spare rear driveshaft and some smalls. It helps when you can get parts at an autoparts and not have to get them at a dealer with a day or two wait.


Another perk of the dana-spicer axles

 

that would be me. I am actually about 20 minutes from Lurry and I am sure he will be stalking, I mean helping a bit in my rebuild. Most of you guys have probably seen my truck on here (at least before I bought it). I bought and am redoing Brinner's 05 D-cab that is all ready SASed.

Mark stop trying to sell my shit. I need those parts! Appreciate all your help man
