[glow=red,2,300][/glow] I'm alive , I'm alive . back to work finally, but on the road most of the time. got a new rig , a 69 ford f-250 got the bed off and bobbed the frame , got most of my pipe and tubing for cage and front bumper . already welded on back bumper and removed overload springs from rear . put a set of 1/2 wore out 36" buckshots on for now . dana 60 rear , need to lock it up , 44 front closed knucles and drum brakes , this has to go , so looking for open knucle disc brake front end ,for free of course since i'm a poor boy, ha ha , moneys still real tight but at least theres some coming in now. should be back on the trail before to long. sure miss being up in the woods . look foreward to getting out there . just takes time and money , which i never seem to have them at the same time .  |

awsome glad it's getting used  sorry about the shitty welds  but nothing a lot of grinding can't cure alot happened in a short period of time, kinda needed to step back and take a time out now it's going to be a time issue more than anything . i'm driving the west coast and won't have evenings at home to work on my new rig  just going to have to balance time on the weekend between family and rig  maybe not in that order got home this weekend because friday morning at 2:45 am i became a grampa  baby boy 9lbs 4oz , 21 1/2" long . so now i got to build my cage to fit a car seat ;D can't wait to get the little guy up in the woods |

congrats man and the nice thing about car seats now the come with 5 points in them ;D at 8mo my boy was on his first run granted it was a easey run but was in the woods none the less ;D
and the welds are not that bad and with a litel grinding and randy toughing them up it will be all good
