Ya it doesnt even look like the same axles are under it! Im gonna have to stamp FAIL on that pic!!! lol

 

Epic fail!

 

Hey Ryan, thanks for the hook up on the pack now I just gotta figure out all the straps and pockets. What was that website you told me to check out for backpacking gear, sorry, my memory sucks.

 

Im the same way... its www.backcountry.com! I'll pm you the bro code

 

Thanks Ryan, I appreciate it.

 

VICTORY is mine...... Ok finally the wheel popped out..... Pretty messed up too....
Now I need to find time to get back to my bastard pack thing... I counted that between kids that keep taking tools and hiding them from me, work, scouts, family, spring backyard preparation.... I should be able to dedicate a whooping average 20 minutes a day to the project..... so I should be done in a couple of month lol....

I probably missed that, where are you going backpacking ?

Grand staircase Escalante Natl. Monument, A canyon called Coyote Gulch.

 

Anyone know a good place near Provo to pick up some steel for say a bumper or roof rack for a decent price? Or better yet anyone have a steal of a deal on either of these?

I've never tried to fab anything and figured I'd give it a shot, that is if I can talk my friend into letting me practice then use his mig. Because with the price of all the racks and bumpers out there, i'm thinkin thrifty and making my own.

 

just look in the scrap pills. i got all the metal i needed to make a front bumper for like 30 something. with paint i was like 42 here is a pic.

 

Idk of any places in provo, but you can't beat the prices in the scrap pile/yard at wasatch steel on 3300s & 300w in SLC!

 

Thanks guys, I'll look into it.

 

if anybody is looking for some black rimes this is a good deal.

Moved the XJ to my new place the other day (got a pic up on my build thread)! Starting to paint the tailbone today... I've needed this garage for sooo long!

I got the basket completed this weekend (just have to prep, prime, finish and mount it) turned out pretty well I think. A lot sturdier than I expected and the weight on its good (not too heavy) I'll take some pics this afternoon when its a little lighter out and post em up.
