Hey DW!, Thanks! Nope, no real wear yet...we got the 4340 set, should last a while longer...at least through this build...maybe!

Rob

It's one tool I have a hard time NOT using! We just don't look at a blank piece of steel the same anymore.

Thanks again AD! I've been welding since my early teens and work in the industry now...it's a process that I find both relaxing and rewarding.

Glad we could help...

RockTonka · 02-04-2015, 03:05 AM

Working some more on the bed...dropped a couple receiver mounts vertically through the back of the bed in the corners. These will be the anchors for a gin pole set-up.

RockTonka · 02-04-2015, 03:08 AM

Welded in another receiver mount at the front of the bed for a cradle winch set-up my boy found a deal on.

Hope to have the gin poles made by the weekend.

Kim57 · 02-04-2015, 09:18 AM

Cool stuff as always.

Love the gin poles. They look good and are so useful. Awesome!

RockTonka · 02-08-2015, 03:59 AM

Thanks AD! Definitely going to be useful.

Pic of the asses I work with...

47 Fasttoys · 02-08-2015, 08:32 AM

My wife says you have a cute ass. So this gin pole set-up is for lifting stuff on the farm? Once you have it lifted, can it be loaded on the truck bed? Sorry I'm not a rancher or farmer or have never lived in Texas.
Rob

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-08-2015, 12:05 PM

It looks sweet! Heirs and everything! Maybe the asses can be the iowa for the gin lift.

Rob

Pretty much a portable lift, you can load to the bed but may have to get creative depending on size/weight.

Kim57 · 02-08-2015, 02:20 PM

That is really cool looking.
I've worked with asses in the past but they only had two legs.
Kim

6BT 56 · 02-08-2015, 02:39 PM

Nice work. That lift will deffinately come in handy. How's the cab coming along?

For what it's worth I vote no caps. That's how I run my 19.5's on my 05 ram with dynatrack hub conversion. Makes for quick switches in the snow and ice. Lol. I'm sure cold weather convenience is top of your list. Ha.

Does the rock buggy in the background have a thread anywhere ?

Keep up the great work

RockTonka · 02-09-2015, 01:03 AM

The cab is slowly getting done...still working on pass door.

I've had the jeep for 20 or so years, built and rebuilt it a few times but never have done a build thread on it anywhere.

You'll see it in the background here and there...had it in the main shop to switch the front coils out to struts, but it's done so back into storage!

Silverado3500HD · 02-13-2015, 09:11 AM

Very very perfect work!

Good luck sir

Thanks S3500HD!

We pulled the front/rear glass and stuck the cab back on the chassis one last time (hopefully) to check fit on a few things and try to get door/hood/fender gaps lined out a bit better...

Kim57 · 02-14-2015, 11:20 AM

That's one sweet looking rig.
Kim

Spblack · 02-16-2015, 10:18 AM

nice work. what front bumper is that off of?

Thanks. The front bumper is the stock bumper...turned upside down with a 2" strip added to the resulting gap on top.
