    Looks like the lake is at a decent level! Hopefully there are a few more rains to help it hold that level...

    Oh and that looks like a whole new SxS!

      Lake is in good shape. Been feast of famine for the last 5-6 years. Super low (15+ ft low) followed by flooded until july 4th for the last few years.

        Accumulating parts at the house.

        A-Arms are ready to go on.
        All 4 wheel bearings
        One New Front Axle
        Rear Wheel Spacers since I'm running a narrower than factory wheel/tire.


        I'm also going to switch Oils and see if it helps consumption. This thing uses it's fair share.


        Still in the works:
        Roof Rack
        Lights
        Gun Rack of Some Sort
        Cooler Rack
        And, although this thing will never be a mud rig by any stretch it seems as though the vents are silly low. I'm looking into snorkels and what not.

            Spent most of saturday blowing this thing apart.

            New:
            A-Arm Bushings
            - Ball Joints
            -Alignment Kit
            -Wheel Bearings (Front Only right now)

            New to me:
            -Bought some Forward A-Arms to keep the tires from rubbing the floor boards. They work as they should.

                Looking good bud. The time spent with your dad and your son are priceless.

                Hobart makes a very good 110v welder. I think it's a 140. Run it with gas. Affordable

                    I need to get back to working on this pile... I made a roof top blind for it and hung a road feeder off taligate.

                    I need to do a few maintnance items:
                    Carrier Bearing for the front drive shaft and one CV axle.

                    A few more fun things:
                    Mount some lights I've got just collecting dust.
                    Install a snorkel kit I bought (I almost killed it last summer crossing a creek)
                    Figure out a front reciever hitch or winch or both.

                    The motor still hasn't died but it burns a tonnnn of oil. I'll rebuild it at some point.
