well despite the rainy weekend i still got some work done. first was a new starter
then came new rear brakes, never done any work with drum brakes before not as bad as i thought got it all don in a little over an hour.
then came a quick release rear bumper as i am way to high for inspection.
all welded up not super happy with it as it is a little lower on the left than the right but thats what i get for working on a dirt hill with low tires. whatever...
2 reese pins and its gone
next is the disk brake e brake kit from low range not totally done i still need a new cable
rear shocks are next my new ones are still on back order so i am throwing these in for inspection now, can you tell they are wayyyyyy to big for my truck? haha. welding that all up tuesday night
and the next project is my full size spare in the frame rails it is a 33/12.5 and it fits like a glove, never seen anyone be able to do this before so i am excited about this.
i am very happy it does not hang down at all below the frame. glad i thought about this before welding a cross member in the way.
old man emu steering stabilizer should be in tomorrow to, so what do you guys think????

awesome build. I love your flatbed design. i would like to do something like you did with going up and to the cab. but be able to make it removeable when not camping. awesome ideas.
