If this is how you pump a business, you suck at it. Hey man, I don’t really know what to say. I don’t have a business tho, I’m just a guy who builds things in my shop. Sometimes for friends, and I don’t get paid. Do I post on MUD also? Yep, I have a lot of friends there Why does anyone post...

Cut out as little of the cab corner as possible Sanded everything down then shot it with Weld-Thru 3M primer Done. About 1/2 welded in at this point but it’s not going anywhere

Tackled the passenger rocker and cab corner I’ve been putting off forever because I hate how awful it is trying to tie things into the existing cab

Anyways…. Knocked out some biggish things today PSC pump arrived, set up for hydro boost Sourced a tool that makes it very easy to press the pulley onto the pump shaft, far better than smacking it on with a deadblow hammer Installed. Goes FAST when you don’t have to fabricate pieces!

Reinstalled all the inner/outer fenders and the grill. Getting ready to start cycling the front suspension and steering Pulled the sad tailgate out of storage. It is seriously screwed and it looks like some drunken Private backed into all sorts of shit These photos don’t really do the...

Lots of little stuff today Knocked out the final welding on the power steering box mount Pulled the inner passenger fender and finished the cutting/sanding so I could mount the coil reservoir

Yes, one little piece at a time 😄

Thanks!!

Yeah, I just want to make sure I have them spaced off the floor quite a bit. Not only for air flow and cooling but also if water and mud gets in I don't want the radios sitting in it. UHMW is great stuff, only about $25 for four feet of 1.5"x.5" thick material. It drills and machines very...

Now that the seats and brackets are in, I was able to figure out the radio mounts We wanted to get both under the passenger seat and it was a SQUEEZE. Layed out the mounting brackets… Drilled 8 holes for welded nutserts Burned them in And now they’re mounted. I need some strips of...

Hahaha! Thanks! Yes, horribly broken The windshield is ridiculous. It actually cants forward past 90 degrees, super odd

Seats are in and fully mounted now. Cut out a chunk of 3/16” plate this morning, spaced out the mounts appropriately and burned them in. LOTS of clamps and a big chunk of angle to keep things flat while welding Both inboard seat mounts will require a small gusset on the forward edge Bent...

Nearly got both seat mounts knocked out today. Actually ran out of plate steel but it’s very close Used some OSB to assist with the seat bolt spacing and you can see the 1” DOM bent up in place Driver seat will sit just like this, some very odd bends and copes but it works

A few little things. Got the doors out that mount on the lower portion of the bad. Blasted them, super nasty and 3 coats of thick paint I can only imagine what the truck looked like when it was this glow orange color Blasted the tailgate hinges. Of the 4, only 1 is remotely straight...

Fixed the floor pan mod today. Added a bit of the pan back into it Squared it off Welded in new metal Sanded it to blend back into the floor Tacked the bar back in place, fits great!

Fun with seats… These are PRP with installed seat heaters Mounted the rails… My buddy Ethan was over to do the tube bending work On blocks for setup. Front floor bar has been added here Rear cross bar. Bent to clear the rear of the transmission hump Main seat hoop tacked in… And...

Thanks!! Yes I’m using silicone bronze in the stuff I consider “non structural”, mostly sheet metal and the like. Nearly all of it is 1/16” rod but I have some .045 for the really thin stuff Strength wise, it is very good. About 50,000 psi compared to the 70,000 of the ER70S2 I use for the...

Thanks friend!

All filled in. Did 3 rounds of rough sanding with a flap wheel then going back over and filling any low spots with silicone bronze Once everything was level, hit it with the DA

Welded and sanded on the bed just about all day, also finished out the driver side rear limit strap Lower limit strap tab, added 1/2-13 weld nuts to each, makes assembly/disassembly much easier when you don’t need a backup wrench Started welding in all the factory bed seams. I want to seal...
