Making any progress on this bad boy?

Any hard parts need changed during the step up from the 275 horse program?

Zebedee - Never really considered using cables honestly....where were you two weeks ago, lol. I mostly did it this way because it was cheap. Bearings were around 10 bucks each, traded a little welding work for the pipe, and all the bolts, pins and linkages I had laying around from past...

Also need to make some hinged travel locks for the levers, so I don't have to climb up just to pull the pins

Thanks guys! Zebedee - yes, a cover plate is in the works, for both sides. Gonna run dups on the passenger side as well. Also going to make about a 3 inch mud flap/ flare over the rear tires to keep the controls a little cleaner. Still working on getting the throttle lever mounted nearby, but...

Made me some side mounted control levers so I don't have to be in the line of fire when winching

Ya, cool weather, that's what I've been waiting for, lol

Get that bolt out? Lol

Looks like they are about 2-3" low.

You've got a good start there. The lift blocks aren't a problem, especially since you have used traction bars to control any axle wrap, but at least cap the ends on the tubing. What concerns me most is the lack of bolts to the bottom of the frame on your spring hangers! Maybe they just aren't...

Integrated wheel lift, hydraulic rear spades, side access storage, hydraulic outriggers, rear winch controls that can be used from the ground, and a hard wired remote to run it all! Is that asking too much, lol....

Have the same issues on mine....although my races and bearings are entirely unusable. Gonna try and mod it to use a needle thrust bearing instead. I'll post pics when I'm done.

Found these in my tool box the other day while going through all my chains n such. Haven't seen any of them on SS before, but thought somebody might know....

How's the ole gal coming along?
