    Son, shouldn't you be paying attention to what's going on in your class? Sincerely, Your Dad

    Thanks, Booger. I like that and it brings the bed a bit higher in the process. Didn't that make it easier to align everything, by aligning the top and bottom seperately?

    The bed will go on sometime this month, as weather and time allow. I kind of like your idea (if I understand correctly). Would this involve bolting channel or square tubing to the underside if the bed lengthwise and then using the old mounts? Seem to me that this would work well and allow flex...

    Bob comes home I've taken it out four times now and so far nothing's fallen off, so a great victory there. Finally got to take it home from my friend's place, and drove it about 50 miles to pick up Badga at school on the last day before Thanksgiving. Drives GREAT! Much is left to do, but to...

    They're all chocked, the front axle is engaged, and the parking brake is on. Not counting on that brake too much though. That very heavy pipe rack it's sitting on is sunk in as well. Once the axle goes under the frame this week end, another pipe rack will go under the rear of the frame as well...

    I'm actually mounting my bed about 10" farther back on the frame than normal, and using the space for a rack for large ammo cans, maybe for a spare too. Since I had the big delay, i need to get it done and out of my friend's yard. Moving it back simplifies the front hanger placement by not...

    Let's try those pics again! Video too! Listen carefully, the Mrs. timed the background audio perfectly, albeit accidentally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDz0OlKA0dA

    Four months later and we're back with a vengeance! Due to record heat and a bad elbow almost nothing's happened during that time, but me and Badga got the rear springs mounted this weekend. We also discovered how versatile and necessary a Harbor Freight crane can be, particularly when every tool...

    Someone should get to bed on time (Note post time!) Oh well, he is right. We did FINALLY get the suspension off of the frame, finally resorting to a new (and clean) cutting torch. The d#$% rivets STILL didn't want to come out and it took the jack in the center prying the middle joining...

    Thanks, I've had this bookmarked for a while and have been keeping an eye on it. As for that XM 381 site, I did a Happy Dance :jumpin: when I saw that 'cause I knew then I'd have no trouble keeping my truck registered as a Former Military Vehicle down here in Texas. I'm thinking up all the...

    Hi, Many know my son Badga the Badger, MV crazed 15 Y.O. and partner in my M35A2. We had an M109 box on it for a while, but changed our mind to bob the deuce. It's an '85 AMG, depot rebuilt in '95, and came with a hardtop, Michelin super singles (1100-R20) and air steering. The box is off, the...
