    I did get four of these big ass lights for free, I just don't know where to put them.....

    Each one is as bright as the light bar in my bumper :rofl:

    Couple updates for the truck:

    Looks like I'm switching teams. Going from black to blue soon!



    The pupper likes my hammock so much, figured Id throw one together with some scraps I had laying around. Re-purposed a broken camping chair so he can swing with me :D :rofl:



    Also added a simple way to lock the Pelfrey swingout, with the lock keyed to the truck key

    I outlined where the mating piece on the bumper is and marked my hole
    [​IMG]


    Drilled it out and touched it up with some spray paint on a q-tip
    [​IMG]

    Works like a charm.

    What up Jeff! She's still running well so far. Got a handful of upgrades coming in the next month or so that will put her on jackstands for about a week, but it's all good stuff. Plus, I'll finally have a reason to drive my bus around again. :laughing:

    Been a while since I've been in here, but I'm working on some updates. Plating the frame, installing BAMF hangers, upgrading the frame Xmember, and I made a hanger cross member for a little additional support. Just need to weld in the frame Xmember and paint everything and the truck will be back on all fours and stronger than ever!

    How do you like the hangers? I'm looking at getting some soon.

    Also, long time no see! Let's grab a beer sometime.

    What up Matt! it has been a while for sure! You know me, I'm always down for a beer sometime!! :cheers:

    Quality wise the hangers were good right out of the box. Aside from missing a couple washers and having the main hanger nut/bolt hole not lining up perfectly (see photo below) I have no complaints so far. The bolt was rubbing enough that I had to open up the whole a bit.

    I haven't taken it out to stretch its legs on a trail yet, but driving around town you can very much tell the difference in the rear end. Aside from feeling more solid, it seems like the leafs/shocks are moving more "freely".... it's hard to explain. haha!
