ARGH !

You read my mind, I was thinking of the window mesh myself, sure looks great on your rig !

Been catching a lil free time here and there. But after seeing a few of my friends on here putting in some serious work I decided to the same. Here are a few progress pics.



Here are my Hood jack stands.



Adding more strength to the frame.



Finished luggage rack..



Everything connected pose shot!



Getting ready to go on my fathers day run thru my yard!



Have a blessed one and more updates to come. All comments and helpful tips are appreciated. I am a humble noob!

[BONDONUTZ]

Looking great Homey !

The jack stands are clever.

I think the roof rack needs to be trimmed down a little and another piece put around the top of it, to hold it all together. Looking really good otherwise!!

Thanks bro. Thats definately happening , was off on my numbers with that part.
Got something extra killer in mind too.!!!

[BONDONUTZ]

Hey Gangster, any updates ?

[17dean]

After a few days on slow roll , I made it to the lab to do a few thing. I started on finishing the roof fack which is almost done. Then the next thing was to start on my multi winch and light control box. I had these control switches made and configured by 1 of the best electronics guys on RCC , HeYok!!! Thanks Heyok for helping bringing my ideas to motion. Any how here are the pics......



This is the box done.



Another view. Sorry for the lite blur look.



Learning patience and skill ! Another view. Did I mention I just learned to braze a month ago! LOL.



With my HeYok controls installed!!



Watching all these talented guys on RCC has me pushing it to max on this build! All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

[dont slow down]

Very nice, I can't tell you how good everything is looking. You have improved a ton! Now your brazing with the best of them.

[BONDONUTZ]

Looks really good, your brazing skills have come a long way in a month !
The control box could double as the hydrylic controls

Been a lil busy trying to find some employment , but got some new improvements done on the rig. Finished roof rack and touched up some spots that was a lil weak. Lined up light fixture holes as well. Then I had got inspired to do the spool protector for my servo winch from the illest electrician on here HeYok ! Thanks my dude . And finally today i was able to finish the back of the exo cage too! But enough of my yappin and on to the pics! And as usual .....all comments and suggestions are appreciated to the max !

















Thanks for looking....

[BONDONUTZ]

[17dean]

[BigSki]

[17dean]

Well thats less than I thought it would be but I still wonder with the weight sitting fairly high on the cab if it'll handle any differently ?
Still looks like a rugged SOB regardless !

Actually , it helps out a great deal especially when I have 1 of my on road cars on the back. Took it out yesterday and had a blast before it died . I have pictures coming later as well as a story!

[17dean]

Well folks , this is how my Sunday started @ the home front.



After having the majority of the cooking done, I decided it was time to bring Big Baby out for a cruise!



That Orange ting ting is called da Lunch Lady ! & she is fitted on the tow bed! Any how more pics....


She ready to hit the avenue now.



We crossing thru the trails to get to the race spot!



Then , on the way back from burning the streets up in the Lunch lady & scouting the area for my new trail running spot , my drive shaft breaks as I am wheeling into the house!



Yeah it sucks but I can fix it. But that is all part of SCA ! Building and destroying @ times is what we do! Anyhow...I love this scale s*** ! Thanks for viewing and once again , all comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Oh yeah.....

Don't Slow Down!....I kinda needed and wanted that slightly done retard look! LOL Thanks for letting me know how to fix it!

[calcagno45]
