My Heep im working on. 3'' all spring lift, 30x9.50 hankook MTR, built front and rear bumpers with a 8500lb superwinch tucked behind the front bumper and rewired it to incab controls.
Yeah I cut the crossmember out and reboxed it with some 1/4 inch steel. Here are some of the pics of the build. Not done with the front or rear yet but got it where I can use them. Still got to build the hitch for the back and the grill guards for the front with a skid.
Here is the under side shot. I have about an inch clearance on the sway bar.
Here is the first cross brace, I added a second one under that one to box it
You can see the Side gussets that I put on the wings barely in this pic/ they are 1 1/2 tubing that was mitered and welded solid so no water and mud could get in
Since to my knowledge we have never had a local meet and greet in the Houston-Galveston area yet for the RR chapter, and since this old man is about to turn 60 , I am wondering about having a get together in or near Galveston ( Beach ) to celebrate my recent survival (near death) and turning 60? Thinking of July 18-19 th weekend? Actual location is flexible.
