I'm super stoked for Moab, it's all I can think about. I pulled two of the lights off the roof rack and mounted them to the bumper in hopes it'll help light up the trail a little better for the night run. I'm going to aim the remaining two on the rack outward and down and hopefully that will help out the crappy headlights a bit. I still need to replace a rock light but have to wait for payday for that. This is gonna be a fun trip!

 

Let me knwo when you plan on going. have a few things on my JY list, if its not there ill help pull some stuff. If you are free tomorrow I am off and could go any time.

AH, I need to hook up my lights... haden't though of that yet lol

 

Any one have any first hand experience or thoughts on the 12 ton Harbor Freight pipe bender? seems decent... a buddy is selling his (never used) and a tube notcher (also never used) for 65$
Figured i might give it a shot so i can have them when i build my cage......
FLAME ON

 

I'm thinking for $65 how can you go wrong. If they don't work out you can easely get the money back out of them. Not that I know anything about cage building, but for the dough it might be worth a shot.

 

That's what I have is the hf 12 ton pipe bender. It's not the best by any means but will work, although as u know its for PIPE not tube, so you will have to weld a piece of pipe into the dies to get the ID of the pipe to match the OD of your tube...

 

I might have to snag that notcher from you here in a month or 2???

 

Ya we can do that jy run I'm sure there is something I need I would like to find extra drive lines and axles or something

 

Hey Shawn, aren't you running the 8.25? If so I'll have a couple extra shafts handy on the run so you dont need to worry about that.

 

Okay man if i get it you can for sure

 

Oh ok sounds good I have a couple of front axles I can bring

 

finished my sliders and installed them. I am now ready for moab on wed....
they use three legs and 14 bolts to the uni frame and 5 to the pinch seam. they should work out just fine. cannot even tell i took ten inches out of them and sleeved them and welded them back together.

 

^^ looks good, i'm headed south in the early AM tomorrow. see ya down there.

 

Hell ya! I wasn't looking forward to dishing money out for that...

 

That notcer would be sweet to have

 

Those look awesome Steve, nice work!
