    Great job Nick. Did you bring it back to Phoenix with you? Also what type of steps are those, and where did you buy them from?

    Nick, It should come out rather easy since you left good access to the top. Hopefully everything goes well for you on the removal of the transfer case. This weekend I am busy, but if there are any additional things I can help you with next weekend, let me know.

    Nick, Things will get better for you Nick, you have a lot to offer the right company, and a great personality. I think it would be great if we can get the SS members together and help get this on the road for you again soon. You are truly a person that after meeting one wants to remain friends...

    Nick, you still going to paint the back camo? I still want to come out and see it when you have time. I have been too busy lately to make it over, but now have some time.

    As always Nick, excellent craftsmanship. I will send you a text message to see if you have time for me to come out and check it out. I have a few data plates I found.

    Nick, I did not realize you were this far with the expedition vehicle. I think I will have to stop by and see it this weekend. It is coming along nicely. Great fabrication work.

    Glad that they were finally able to get things done right. Not sure why they would even question a Arizona title. Very different than a SF-97. I guess they never wanted to change after the whole SF-97 last year. When I went through Gulfway they were very quick. But since they are just a broker...

    Here are some photos of a LVRS cab - I think this would be a good option to do in the cab to make more room. I had the truck at a show last week, and put a For Sale sign in the window, as my wife want to have a baby, and thinks this project would never be done. She is right, there is always...

    I agree with Tornadogt that is could be done. You may want to find photos of a PLS cab. They had the majority of the center removed, but with the equivalent of a small console in the center for the steering shaft to go through. You may want to put the reservoir up at the same height.You would...

    Small items that I worked on lately Only did a little work on the truck last weekend, and will do some this Sunday. I pulled the double check valve for the trailer as it was feeding air back through the Johnson brake vent when the normal brakes were applied. Blew air through all directions...

    Side profile view only had a chance to work on small items this weekend and start to prepare the back frame section for paint. When they refurbished the truck they put undercoating on the outside frame rails. The undercoating was had spider web cracks all over, and is not easy to remove. Moved...

    Was able to get some paint work done this weekend, as the next week it is supposed to rain all week. It was a very enjoyable 73 degrees outside which made it nice painting weather. Still need to work on the back part of the vehicle to get it ready for paint. Starting to prioritize my list of...

    the MSFETT starts, moves and steers :) Made a little progress over the weekend. The biggest thing was being able to start it up, move it forward and back and steer it. After two minutes of running the trans cooler line had a pin hole leak. I was able to make it before closing to the hydraulic...

    Very well put Marchplumber (Tony). The little wheels are my training wheels for the new girl :) Actually those are for my small trailer that I use as a workbench, and storage of extra metal while I work on the project. I keep making a "To Do list" and always end up adding more little things to...

    12-20 work completed Even though I worked on it most of the weekend, it seems like there was not as much progress as I thought I would get done. Made brackets for the accessory tool box in the back, and bolted the one up the one on the side. Worked on many miscellaneous items. Only 5 weeks left...

    Your welcome. Could get by with less cable than 50 feet, but I figured to have more is better if I want to 2:1 ratio to lift something. Since I made the top removable. I may use it in other locations.

    Hand crank winch- cable installed and tire lowered Installed the cable on the hand winch today. Bought the 50' cable and 3' axle strap from Amazon. Lowers the tire to the ground with 90 turns of the winch handle. Worked excellent. Also worked on the support for the rim to rest on. Still need to...

    I just located the same winch on Thern's website, model 462. It shows installing the cable beneath the bolt and next to the side of the spool. When the bolt is tightened it compresses it down and to the side of the spool. It also shows it should have 1000 lbs with one layer of cable, and 500 lbs...

    Received my upper section back from the metal fabricator. They bent the top section to the front brush guard. Maybe this week they will complete the grill. Bolted this the brush guard together after cutting out the headlight holes and painting the backside of it. Also set one of the new...
