I bent some 1” sq tube and added reinforcements and attachments where needed (sounds simple) Well, my attachments didn’t attach in order but you get the idea, attach aluminum, layout items, draw them on overhead, drill holes, rivnuts (of course) run wires, secure everything, make sure all...

I have done all that you are asking about. Highly recommend it. Just now bought the real deal air ride seats, after I get some issues sorted out with the not so new seats, I’ll install them but, I did remove the bench 16 months ago for two identical seats. I bought another drivers seat base...

Thanks Tinstar. It’s pretty a incredible place. Borders the Triangle Ranch. Russ, I like the Frankencab’s. I think a lot of people do. If they weren’t liked, they wouldn’t sell so high. I’d buy one if one was up for auction when I have bought any of the trucks I have bought. I would have...

My truck went to work hauling feed in North West Texas at my ranch. Five hour run from Frisco to Altus Oklahoma, where I buy my protein mix, 6,000 lbs loaded on to the truck, hammer down to meet silverstate in TX just as he was filling up at Loves. He followed me to the ranch, we swapped all our...

Winfred, you are right, I erroneously described the entire apparatus as a “bone” in my haste to post and run. thanks for pointing that out, that might have caused someone to weld the wrong area, or both areas. I’m wondering what yours are made of? Maybe a dumb question, MIG weld and forgot to...

I have the exact same question. And, I want to know how to hook up my CB to my VIC-3 but I’m still searching for that answer, I’m sure it’s been discussed.

Ironically, or fortuitously, I have a shipment of toys coming to a fastenall store near me soon! (Very soon I hope!)

Looks like papa, towing his son home. Love that 818, papa 818, that is.

Apparently the 5ton bones are made of steel. Maybe deuce bones, or yours in particular were cast iron? Or something else.

Great idea!!! I’ll need to remember that. In the bush, I have used a 4 way bar and stacked up something to hold up the opposite end of the 4 way bar, and then stood/jumped on the appropriate side. Without the support on the other side it would slip off. Just another hint. Although, yours is...

thats gonna be a big ol washer! From what I see, everyone is using what they find in the shop that is strong enough. 3/8 or 1/2” and 6” or so, long enough to go across the outside and stop it from popping off. 74M35A2 has overengineered his. And I am a big fan of that, but I don’t have time...

Come on, the thread is almost to 50 pages, that must count for something!

Ok, here come the questions. What thickness plate? 1/4”? 3/8? 1/2”? Did you just have someone CNC a bunch of circles, or did you just torch cut circles and clean them up? What about the centers? Did you just cut a 1” hole or maybe an “X” or star pattern so you could get a nice amount of...

See this guy in the top right of the window you are typing in? Hit it the little tree picture frame looking thing and this will sow up hit the “Choose files” button, then follow the instructions to browse through your phone to find the photos you want, tap them, a check mark will appear and...

We have strayed a bit off topic, but, let’s carry on, it’s an interesting question in human nature and psychology. Yesterday, I encountered two Jeepers (Jeeper: one who has sunk $80-$100k into a Jeep to make it very trail worthy and may or may not know how/care to use said vehicle for the...

Is welding an acceptable solution? I’m a lot better welder than driller.

It’s not cheating, it’s playing the game! Anyway, to tell the truth, they are cooler.

I think maybe you are 100% right.

Ha! I’m a do-Bee for sure! The Jeepers don’t seem to respect the FMVs. Not sure why? Is it because we spent 5-10% of what they did on their rigs? Is it because we have all this power and unstoppable ability? And they have these silly stickers like “if you can read this turn me over” and...

Then let’s go.
