    The Cheap Heep Jeep...

    Good, since it bugs you I will leave it as is.... The plan is to put a straight edge on them and straighten them up the put cheap flexy flares on it. The rear is going to be the real pain, I had to cut past the pinch in some areas and I didn't exactly know what I was doing and have to weld...

    Highspeed, they are 33's. I am unsure of the gear ratio and haven't had it on pavement but it does ok for now. Mr Smith, thank you and I will try to find some.

    The plan is to weld it back together with 18ga. The pinch was gone for the most part, I cut till I hit good metal. I would like some 37s but they aren't in the budget for this truck.

    Second coat is on and done! Got my kobalt electric impact so hot I couldn't hold it anymore... Removing this... Twisted all the bolts off... Normally I would have kept the hitch but the ball mount was totally rusted in, my Cummins Ram and a chain couldn't get it out, a good soaking of...

    I wish ours was open, comes in the 15th of October. I have never even shot a crossbow, I reckon when my shoulder finally gives out I will get one.

    Haha! I heard that! Come on down just anytime. I got the passenger side 2x6 rocker on, but I used 2x2 tubing to support it, I'm gonna have to cut an angle on them because they hang down further than expected. Floor pan is totally welded in, just needs grinding, roofing tar, self etch, enamel...
