    that's some great views from people's decks out there...

    we were looking at one up there for about 250k that had a sweet deck with views of mt princeton..large home for 250k, fairly new, but the economy there is lacking for our needs

    That's kind of what I'm planning on doing right now. I'll have to wait until it gets a little closer before I know for sure if I can make it though.

    it's seen better days :laugh:

    sold it to a buddy for $100 to help pay down this one and get rid of it..

    it needed some TLC and a few more hits it wouldn't want to go back on most likely...

    so it was time to get a real skid plate :cool:


    going to need some modification to have both the relentless and my bamf lca skids work...some conflicting spots between the two

    relentless skid is in and ready to beat some rocks' asses! 75lbs of steel should do a damn good job :D

    the relentless and the ATO tranny skid had different hole alignments so i needed to modify the relentless skid to accept the ATO tranny, just like i had to with the all pro..

    i chose to drill new holes in the relentless because the new holes are on the inside of the existing holes versus if i drilled into the ATO skid, it would be on the outside of the existing holes, reducing the amount of steel between the holes and the side of the skid...

    and i must say, these two meet up much better than i had the ATO and all pro connected..
    [​IMG]

    highlighted the inside of the "R" to bring out the logo better..
    [​IMG]

    working on modifying the BAMF LCA skid to fit in there with the relentless...the relentless IFS is much wider than the all pro and contacts the LCA skids...having to trim off about a half inch on the main LCA skid and having to trim a bit off the front of the skid as well (the curved portion by the BAMF logo). almost done with one of them when my grinder decided to shit the bed...guess you get what you pay for from HF

    so that project will have to wait

    yea i suppose i could look into that..

    recently had the ifs skid off and the tranny was still up (drove from the shop home after the recent engine tear down, sold the all pro to a guy at the shop)...that thing does not move even with the 3 bolts only in the rear

    i think i kept it that way because the all pro and ato did not match up well so that was my only option...these two mesh better and could probably do that and get it right

    nice catch

    I had a chance to put the 305 back on this weekend. I only found a place to stuff it about halfway (the joys of living in a subdivision), but it had plenty of clearance from the frame. The pics are at full lock on level ground.
