Thanks!

It was so sudden...kinda weird. Got any Bulldog art you could burn for a grave marker?

Thanks for sharing that vid! Sums it all up...

 

I have one thing i did for my mom a few years back but I don't know how well it would go for a grave.

 

It was just a though. I am trying to find a cool looking bully head or something and I will fab something up to mount it on.

 

sorry to hear about ur bully , i have a 4 year old bulldog male when your ready again i would be more than willing to try to help you out ,just need to find a female.really sorry for your loss

 

That is the coolest offer I have heard, much appreciated. We will be getting another dog , but not until at least after the new year. That will give him [your bully] time to find a girlfriend, lol

As cliché as it sounds, the holidays are going to be hard without him around, so we feel dealing with that will help bring some resolution, so when we do bring another member into our family, we can give him all we've got

 

A bit late, but sorry for your loss, man! I know how hard that is.

 

Thanks Silas.

 

Well 'twas a busy weekend. Started out Thursday night actually...



After removing the extra 500 lbs of scrap I had this:







Another of the ubber rare hard to find 1979 F350 D60 Kingpin axles

4-link with rear steer?

 

Saturday Eric and I replaced the rear output bearing in the crawlbox do to a Marlin Crawler bearing defect, and got the FJ case 90% in. Just need to finish up the boot for the dash.

 

What's that axle for?!

^ that's mine right? I'll drop the truck off in two weeks

 

PS are u getting to badlands Friday eve or sat?

 

Bring a check for 10k and it will look like mine.

I was planning on heading to Lafayette on Friday night, then to Badlands on Sat. Depends if anyone is coming Fri or not. Thought it might be nice to get a good nights rest and have breakfast

 

K .. We planning to ride up Friday night.. I like breakfast/rest
idea

 

Got a little done on my shifter boot last night. Cut out ended up being a little larger than just the cupholder though, so I had to come up with a different way of attaching the boot this time to still make it look nice.


I ended up making a steel frame and putting it inside the boot, then wrapping the boot material underneath the frame, and riveting the frame to the top of the console, from underneath. Turned out good enough for me.


Now I've just got to finish up the rubber boot at the transmission tunnel to seal out all the elements, and I'm done.


Couple pics:

 

That looks really good!!

 

I knew you would like it! I haz vision

 

Nicely done.

Hey Marc, what should I do with my crawler shifter now that I've got a manual? I can't think of a clean spot to have a boot and shifter come up. Other than one of the large cup holders..
