:flipoff2:

I need to move it to Kajo's garage, then it will be done in no time! But I might not recognize it. :twisted:

Believe it or not it actually is coming along. The biggest thing now is to get some bumpers on it. For now it's going to be OD green, everything except the gas filler door, it's the only thing left from the old rig.

No I wasn't alone, Jason was here 'supervising' all day. :flipoff2:

It's amazing how much bondo it's going to need. I should just take it someplace and have it finished. Then I need some bumpers. Then I have to figure out where the tire and hi-lift are going to go. :lol:

Build a Tire Carrier Bumper.

Can you mount the high-lift angled along the stock roll bar?

It will not need much bono. Just get your old wheel chair bound ass out there and do it. Your just going to fuck it up anyway. I seen you wheel once a long long long time ago.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Yes, but not with the top on.
