weekends are gf time so no work was done, but we were able to use pvc pipe under the skid to get the frame into my backyard there. I have kind of been toying with the idea toget reverse shackle mounts from PMF, to do away with the lift blocks and will bring the rear axle forward a bit, to help with teh 4" longer wheel base. but thats 200 plus u bolts, or ther eis a member offering me a set of factory 4x4 blocks for the price of shipping(thanks man!), and then i just need new u bolts. So i would save myself 220 bucks which 9is nice as thats shifter cable money..
my tires should be here sometime this week, tonight i will put the rear end parking brake assembly together and gt paint on the calipers, and get another coat of paint on the frame. using that little 20$ electric paint gun from harbor freight for it, and after messing with the settings and mixture, i got a nice even spread out of it.
I want to roll the front axle outside so i can pressure wash it (bought a HF electric one and it is CRAP! so i will return it), and spray some paint on it too.
so just waiting on rear lift blocks and u bolts now, and shell be rolling soon!
i didnt get the 55 gal tank as it was steel and i want the new style sd plastic one. Well see once its on some wheels how much space and such I have. the new frames have a massive cross member in the rear that wont allow in between frame rail mounting.
oh, did buy a 2500 wireless remote controlled winch for 50 bucks from harbor on saturday. This will replace the hand crank on my crane.
