Yeah, I commented on that pic over there.... "Them downey springs are flexy, eh?" lol.

I would love to... gotta see if I'll EVER have free time in the near future again before I can plan(which is hard cuz I can't know how bad he will be/how busy I'll be due to that)..... Seems I'll have more 'last minute' stuff going on than 'well planned trips', ....but that's ok, as long AS I GET OUT THERE! GRRRR! (last year it was cuz of that machinist..... This year, well, you know... haha.)

Take care, man... good pic

Hey, any more info on that MC bumper (give me a little review) I want one but there are a few options out there and I want to make sure that this is the right one.

Primarily i'm torn between the Marlin Crawler/4xInnovations/Trail Gear

Thanks man!


p.s. I've been enjoying your build thread thus far. I bet those 4.7's are AWESOME!

thanks dude, you can see the 4.7:1 go to town on the vid where i go down the big rock. the scrape scrape scrape vid :p It's Trail Gear gears in the transfer case actually.

anyway... I'm sure all those bumpers will do the job just fine, its all about your personal preference...

what do you want the bumper for? towing? dragging painfully along the trail? lol

Sorry to pull up a picture from way back, but is there only one bulb behind the climate control area? This is awesomely bright. I hate how dim my 87 dash is.

Thanks for the good words! The spring was digging into the gas tanks pinch weld, you could see where it made contact. And a friend of mine had that happen to the point of needing to repair his gas tank. The u bolts just stretch and need to be retorqed. No big deal.

Yep! Just one bulb. The light gets dispersed by a piece of clear plastic.

yup. looks like front output shaft seal. shouldnt be too hard. make sure you put some assembly grease on the metal spring on the inside so it doesnt get knocked out on install.
