that comment just made me laugh, i think i spit RB on my KB ha ha

and the reason it made me laughe is when we were out at the snakes and i'm just slowly putting up the trail and looked back and seen no one behind, so i waited for a bit and the first rig to catch up said this "that damn grey jeep pulled up on a rock and posed then he got out and started taking pics" ha ha

i think it was 3 different times in one trail you did it that day too......that's almost stalking now ya know

haha! Well, I was actually checking my limit straps I had put on just before we rolled out there, didn't want to loose a break line (which where setup to short at the time) and the guy taking pics wasn't me it was a buddy who had never even been off-road before.

Thats funny though. I only did it once... we only ran the first portion of RS with you lol

Its all in your mind! lol

I think it just looks like I do it "all the time" as I typically do it once a trip to look at what I just changes (topically a couple things between trips lol) So I flex it all out and check for any issues before continuing...

I don't care much for it when there is a trail to run!

Nice definitely looks like a lot of fun.

You know I was wondering do you ever use those half doors you fabbed up. Got any pictures with them on?

Ya I know the feeling too many things to do and not enough time. Good to see the jeep is getting put to use though. Makes me want to go wheeling again. Dang-I think I have an addiction haha.

Quote: So I made my tie rod bar, got some 280 wall 1.25" DOM tapped for 3/4" hiems, then got a 1.5" DOM 120 wall tube and used it as a sleeve and slide it over the 280, making it 400 wall and welded her on, Picked up a 3.8" tube clamp for the ram mount on the tie rod. I am just waiting on my ram mount now then I'll throw it all on.

anyway, 280 wall on the left, 120 on the right


Notched the 120 wall and slid it onto the 280


Welded it on and painted it


threw in the hiems



and the clamp for good measure...


all the stuff just waiting to go on!
few questions for you.
what length did you cut the tube to?
and does it go otk or utk?
Love the build so far!

Thanks!
