Me and my nephew ran into financial troubles, so we started the winter builds about a month ago. Here is some progress pics:
We turned this bumper:

Into this bumper/winch mount (that's a 9000lb Mile Marker lurking in there!)

And turned this crumpled sheetmetal:

Into this:

Front view, with the narrowed front end:

I have changed complete front, and rear clips!(except for the hood....I worked hard for those dents in the hood!!)
Purevil's 36's make for good RTI ramps!!
A little suspension work still to go on both trucks, and bumpers both ends on mine, and we are ready to do battle with the rocks!

Wasn't on the trail 15 minutes!
Rolled clear over on it's lid...water was six inches deep in the TOP of the cab /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Bent the windshield frame too, but not enough to break the glass...just pushed it out of the seal. Cage works! and nephew got to try out the new winch!

We found that one hubcap on the trail and decided Bob's rig was a good place for it. Little did we know the extent he would go to try and get it back off....lol

Andy.......you know as well as I do that every attempt possible should be made to refrain from bending over when wheeling with the Bedford boys. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bob, good work on the rigs. Now that you're done with that, when can we expect the next episode of "Pimp Your Bus"??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I feel real baaaaaad about this for Smitty's sake but I can't make it down this year. Sucks 'cause I'd really love to see all you guys again.......had a lot of fun with ya'll in the past. How about an autumn run??? Any chance we could get together sometime in September/October? I know it's easier for you Bedford boys, but how about Andy & Christal, Mitch & Rae, Robert (Okiezuk), RangerRick???? What are the chances that they all could come out to Attica at that time?

OR........There's always an open invitation for all of you to come up here and have a taste of some good Canadian culture. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
