for the non CK5, normal crowd over here...... doesn't tow yet, but set up with a gooseneck plate bolted to the frame... need to build a receiver hitch for boat towing and get a gooseneck trailer for my wheeler.. 454, 465 for now.. eventually it'll go 6BT/NV4500..
hehe, forgot about that... no clue, guessing so.... maybe I'll at least have the honor of first rig on the new site I suppose...
oh, and on a Mutt build note.... my extinguishers should be here Monday.. so next weekend or during the week, I'm gonna hang those... might see about working on that expanded steel step on the front corner too.... I'd like to get the tube/steel work done for that next weekend.. the week after is the car show, but I doubt I can get the front corner done, done, with the alum panel in before than...... but at least it'll kinda show what's planned... in the meantime, I've been working on the bumper... SLOW going.. still trying to shape down the 3/8 plate upright pieces.. still working on the first 2, with 2 more to go... my plasma gets thru it, but grinding down to size takes FOREVER, and eats up grinding consumables.... realistically, I'm looking at December by the time the bumper will be done... it's probably gonna be at least a 100 hr project...
nah, I'll get pulled over in a heartbeat around here for that... no back, your fine in Naziville... but you need a front, and a plate... I'm just bolting the old one on with 4 bolts to the horns, no side brackets.. takes 5 minutes to take off or put on... but I left it off all week as I've been driving the black 2wd all week to get it ready for inspection in a couple weeks... I had to resort to just using the 4 1/2" with a 6" Pearl thincut wheel on the 3/8" stuff.. it just ends up being faster than plasma and grind till the nuns burst into flames... just bolted the bender back down and got all the material ready to start working on the steps this weekend... gonna see if I can get that done, alum included before the car show.. the bumper will be somewhat backburnered till the show is over... unless I have nothing else to do...
oh, and on the car show.... finally looked up there stuff.. it's run by the town first aid squad.. but I noticed on the flyer thingy, the cops give an award to their fave 4 x 4.... funny thing is, the one cop in town George, is nuts over the rig and waves to me every time he see's me... if he sees me outside working on it, he stops to bs... he's got an older dodge 2wd that I've offered to buy the Cummins out of, lol... me thinks I have a good shot of winning that award, lol! here's their flyer... http://www.oceangateems.org/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/ogcarshow2015_flyer_rev1.pdf
I thought you might get in shit for no front bumper ... here I don't think would be a big deal, we don't even run front plates! Congrats on GMOTM! And good luck at the show!
