Browns Camp (TSF) 7/7/07

Time to stretch and pee
down one bogger 30min into the day. a tree decided to punch an 1/1/2" hole right in the center of the tire.

That's one narrow crossing with steep sides.
Jason can only turn left nowOh, look maybe that's why! now it's time for a steering box brace.The bottom and side of the frame were torn completely apart, and the top was on it's last inch.Jason also boke a drivers side axle climbimg these rocks. it's a rare sight i know. the green truck with the box open and tools being used on another vehicle Redneck Steering box brace what a camera man
Replacing the axle with some spare laying around the garage. Aren't dana 44's fun? hey, at least the parts don't cost anything.

a new frame is born. reinforced top and bottom with 2" wide 1/4" thick flatstock bent to match the frame

Goat Mt. 6/24/07

Hung up on an old Redwood
Broken driveline Slid the lower section out. new u-joint in, put it back together. It also broke the end of the yolk, but it got us home. Now i carry a spare lower tube shaft ready to go, extra u-joints, extra u-bolt hardware, and an extra yolk. All is 1310 on the lower end. but that's o.k. i like knowing where my weak point is. it's easy to fix too.

The Blade gettin' some

Jason's Tube Bumper

Started with two 3' chunks of 2x6 1/4" wall tube steelone piece was cut in half for the angled sides that follow the body. 2" flat stock was used to cap the bottom and sides of the corners
1 1/2" angle was welded inside the frame at the top, and 2"x4" angle was welded on top of the frame. This was done to account for the 3" body lift, which doesn't look that great in this pic. hey Jason, i think you need some new bushings.
