Bobbing needs to begin

[bmx590]

I have got a m105 trailor to start my bobber. But I'm just one guy with nothing to work with. No Welder, no lift, and no shop. Was wondering if anyone around the Athens ga or Georgia area would like a job to do it? maybe a shop and tools I could rent. I have a good mechanical mind. I'm a 91B in the army reserve for eight years. Have been welding for a while. The reserve unit will not let me use the shop ha-ha

You might reach out to reckless or clinto. They're in your area.

-loss of traction, load capability.......I'm old school, you go for it. Build it right, no short cuts, get someone to double check the work, take pictures.
Have fun

Trying to find someone who will do it right

That might be the problem, the builder takes on an awful lot of liability, the design/capabilities are changed. If it comes apart on the highway, well there will be a lot of questions. Keep us posted

Thing is, you got a nice truck for what you paid. Why chop it up and make it worth less? You could probably put it up for sale and double your money or more right now.
I've driven my truck daily for three years now, and haven't had any reason or urge to Bob mine...

 

[bmx590]

It's just one of those things I have always wanted ever since I was a kid. I new to the addiction of the military vehicle and I'm on the hunt for a restore project to build back.

 

[Jeepsinker]

Well, then restore it, instead of chopping it up!

 

[HanksDeuce]

Take a real challenge, bob the HEMTT!

 

[bmx590]

I wish I could! Those things are bad ass. Especially the new LHS's one less axel than the PLS's

Do you have a military base closeby with an "auto hobby shop?

Food for thought----a local guy way-overpaid for a bobber a couple of years ago. He's a wanna be "off the grid person." He basically lives in a Lowes cabin-storage unit in the woods in the city. He started to under-take cutting logs to be cut into lumber for a real cabin last year. Bobbers don't like any kind of a load.

I recently saw a deuce with green red-oak firewood stacked(not piled) over cab high and it didn't even squat.

I'm of the opinion that one can do as they please, provided it doesn't harm another.

I've had two bobbers over the years. I no longer have them, but they were enjoyable to me.

Drew I agree with you, its their truck, do as they will. I sure like to modify mine.....however he also said he was new to the addiction. Might be a good time to step back, enjoy the truck for awhile and really evaluate his desires. If it still makes sense, then there you go. I'm personally not a fan (Although I love Will Freeman's!) and wouldn't dream of cutting mine. But I looked specifically for an early AF truck, and in the condition that warrants an eventual restore.
