Thanks man. I still like the clean interior and the carpet helps with heat transfer/insulation. I can get you a rear cargo area plate cut out for cheap (A $75 or less). Could possibly haul to you by next winterfest if your ready for one by then.

I will keep that in mind and let you know a lil closer to date. Adding reminder to Ipod now.

Hmmm isn't it about time to get the ole WF Eleven thread started in the Official rides area.

I am already ready to start planning it out.

yup, we are in the early planning/discussion stages of it and will be posting something up in the next month or so.

I'd like to be involved in the planning this year. You guys know how to get a hold of me. Since you drafted me with that cool yellow sweatshirt.

got the steering completed tonight and everything tacked into place. I am running to a buddys shop in the morning to have him weld the bungs in since I only have the 110 welder at my shop. The battery was dead, but after a quick jump the ol' girl came to life and ran great for sitting for over 3 months w/o being started at all. It is only sitting with jack stands under the front now.....so it is so close to being done I can hardly stand it. I may spring for a new Optima red top tomorrow....will just have to wait and see. I am going to start putting my focus on the Love Shaq (the new camper) and get the new fridge ready to go. Hannibal is about a week away!!

All I gotta do is charge the battery on the new rig I am bringing with me...... a better RC crawler. Picking up an 8.8 sometime that weekend from Roxtar's buddy, Probably when we get back.

the day has finally came that this ol' girl drove out of the shop under her own power. It has been nearly 4 months that it has been on jack stands. I am awaiting some new extended brake lines to show up tomorrow, but everything is working as it should. The steering needs dialed in a little, but all in all it is ready for Hannibal this coming weekend. The AGR box is AMAZING! it combined with the fancy junkyard Grant GT steering wheel make it effortless to turn the new 36's. Here are a few of the remaining pics of it....

because everyone needs a custon skull steering wheel. irate:

new custon built (by me with coaching from Goatman) inverted T steering..the track bar needs remounted to run parallel with the drag link..coming shortly.

and a final shot of it out of the shop and seeing daylight!

now to see how things hold together at Hannibal this next weekend...I am keeping my fingers crossed..and my eyes :gee:

 

[jakeWI]

wow, about time!

haha, just kidding. great job!

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

thanks Jake, it has been to freakin long, Pretty much not moved out of the shop since Winterfest

 

[99SJ_Ex]

How much did that steering cost ya??

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I bought the DOM, misalignment spacers, inserts, tabs and QA1's from Ballistic and it was under $300 shipped I think...I have slept since then...

Shut up woman, get on my horse! :roflmao:

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

put on a new master cylinder, new brake lines, new pads, calipers and finally got the brakes to work and hold pressure. Also picked up a new Optima red top today....I am tired of spending money like a rock star.....

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Just b/c I am still a stupid kid at heart and can not keep from spending money...I put in a new CD player w/ USB and aux ports on the front so I can still have my tunes...now I am trying to figure out how to mount the new Kicker wakeboard tower speakers to the cage and make it look right.....
