Yeah I was going to use it but the thing is on the fritz, it's spittin and sputterin so it's gotta go to the shop to see whats wrong with it, and the Tig welder's torch is broke too !!!:frown: the oxy acetylene is outta gas and so is the mig 's CO2 !!! and the lincolin 175 ran out of wire as well !!!:14: but my buddy should have most of this resolved by next w/e.. then back to fabbin !!:Big Grin:

Its always good to post 13 pictures of the same thing! What did you move back in with your parents so you can afford to build this now? :rolleyes: Looks good, what are you planning on doing to the rest of it?

Yup, got rid of the kids and the wife too... looks like I'm gonna probably go with either airshoxs up front or coilovers, and leafs in the rear for stability, 4 link the front with home made long arms (2" .250 DOM with 1.25" heims).. (if they ever show up).. and slap in some 2.5T'S under it... re-center my existing rims to the 6 lug rock pattern, and take the fo tee fo's off the mall wheeler and stick 'em under it... I still plan on making a set of tube fenders for it (utilizing the stock lights) new sliders and an exo.... the bed will stay for now with a "belt" line exo and tube rear bumper...

[MIGHTYRAM97]

UPDATE I am now making my tube fenders for the RAM, and unfortunately forgot the friggin camera !! I will remember to bring it today and take pics on what it will look like... I hope Armorall Sierra will approve, as the official spokes person for the armorall mall crew wheeler's... the after it's done should be :thgrinpimp: :thbling: and it'll be one of a kind...

Before anyone starts talkin smack about the welds....I know they look like elephantitus welds, but what do you expect for a rookie welder...and besides they're gettin ground down for a smooth look...some of them turned out good and others not so good... but they hold and that's what matters most...ugly can be ground and polished out...and the upper corner is left partially open since I will notch it then bush/sleeve it with 1.5" tube then go off of that and make my A pillar/roofline and B pillar exo lines....

[MR.ROCKAPE]

I used "DICK -B-GONE" and whacked it off:Big Grin: the bumper is now painted (rattle can black hammertone) for ease of trail erase scratches... I have a little bit more to add to it then it's done.. I need to add some more reinforcements to the stinger, wire up the winch and un spool it/respool it... Looks like it's gonna take longer than expected to swap the axles, so maybe a lincolon locker in the rear and see what it can do ??? what days are you going to the 'con ?? I have the first week o Sept. off... (I managed to get that week off)... If I go it'll be on a prayer that I don't break.. since I don't have spares for the axles that I don't plan on keeping...the good thing is I have a big ass winch and that could get me out in like a week !!:Big Grin: and for the HREW (Nope I didn't know that it should have been inside, but who gives a schitt !! if it gets bent or bashed it can be cut off, and a new one put back in it's place !! I sure hope that my welds hold up !! I will take some more pics maybe this w/e (then I'll post up)...
