Haha that is awesome! It's a slippery slope, soon you will start to analyze obstacles not by difficulty, but by will it be worth the clean up afterwards lol.
 
Last night we finally unloaded my dad @moldman05 truck off the trailer from ivy branch last fall.

Took it apart and working on plates for inside of frame.

Yesterday we worked cleaning up, and trying to finish the radiator support on his trail taxi suburban turned avalanche.

Some of you may remember us racing this in the first Uwharrie 4x4cross race, breaking an axle upon landing off a water bar immediately after the ledge below kodak. A group of people followed us around the corner to see how far we made it, only to scatter as the broken shaft and wheel tire combo came flying back down towards them.
 
I tried to "REDLYNER" the sami this weekend but this little turd is going to need some love! It started with a brilliant idea to remove the seats to clean, assess the body, & remove the carpet. I didn't have enough oomph so I called for back up...only to discover the seat was welded. Key word: was. Joe had too much oomph & broke it then grabbed the saw...goodbye seat! On the plus side, I get new seats! :D Got all the carpet removed to find some rust, a lot of spray foam, & a piece of linoleum covering a hole. Gotta love creative bodywork :mad:

Went to take my nephew for a ride & ran out of gas in the driveway. Fuel gauge will be the next item on the to-fix list! I have a feeling this little skank is going to keep me busy.
 
Got my new die out yesterday to warp up some square tubing.

Going on a dedicated welding skid for my truck. Will have the Ranger, leads, and a torch set up ready to work. When out I will plug in quick spindles and a tounge. Instant towable around the shop and house.
 
Finished my first diff swap tonight. Replaced the limited slip with a Detroit, wasn't all that bad of a job but trying to put it back in with the races and shims while laying on my side was a pita lol. Gotta thank Dan "the man" Chauvin for the assist with the bearing press.

Quick question, is it OK for the diff pin to have play in it? The one in the Detroit just kinda floats in there. I've got the diff pin retaining bolt tight.
