    I had to work today so I didn't have much time on the truck, but I got a little done. I figured out my front bag placement now I got to clean up the cuts and prep it to be welded. I decided to keep the strut rods but mounted them inside of the lcr so it didn't interfere with the lower bag plate. I'm hoping to get a full day on it soon, it's hard to get stuff done with a couple hours here and there. But I'll take what I can get.

    You're mounting the upper plate directly onto the frame?

    Yes and there will be gussets on the sides for reinforcement. It'll also be tied in with the upper control arm tower with plates for some extra strength.

    Passenger side front is all done besides the shock mounts. Now that one side is done all the hard work of figuring it out is over, all I have to do now is mock up the driver side. I got the driver side all cut out and now I just have to grind it down and weld it together. My wishbone came in this week, i'll post a picture of it later. Still got a long way to go but it's nice to have a corner done.

    Looking good, its a great feeling when that first corner is done. I'm just about done grinding and painting my drivers side and my front will be done for the bag work.

    Got the driver side front all grinded down and tacked my bag plates in then ran out of welding gas. So I wrapped it up for the day. At least this side is going a lot quicker.

    I didn't get any work done this weekend but I did take my dakota out to a car show. It was nice to get out, relax and check out some cool cars. This upcoming weekend is gonna be a bust because I have a wedding to go to. So I'm gonna try to put in a late night during the week.

    I know how it is not having time to work on your truck, the Dakota's looking good though.

    I've been counting weeks until a upcoming show that i wanted to take it to in august. But i can't get too stressed over it, it'll be done when it's suppose to be. Once the mighty max is done the dakota is getting sold, i'm keeping my eye out for a nice classic cruiser. Is your truck getting close yet?

I've been to busy with o/t and helping my buddy bag his single cab mighty max. I was hoping to take mine to a local cruise at the end of the month butndoesnt look like ill make it. I at least hope to have it done by my birthday in July.

    I got the drivers side front done tonight. This weekend I'm work on the shock mounts and cutting out the wheel wells for the trailer fenders. I'm hoping to have enough time to tear it all down and get it painted but we'll see.

    Thank you. I've been meaning to get some pictures posted in the other vehicle section. I'll try to do it this weekend.

    All of the fabrication is done on the front end. I got the shocks relocated (in the picture the mounts are just tacked in place). I decided to use my toxic shocks for now because I'm on a budget. Maybe down the line I'll switch to the bilstein shocks and rework my mounts. So everything is torn down now and being prepped for paint.

    Can you get a close up of the upper mount? I want to see how much of the cup you cut out -- looks clean.

    I got everything painted and started assembling the front end. The passenger side is all together, minus the bag.

    Oh yea definitely! Thank you. It's nice to have the front done and be able to move to the rear where it's all out in the open. I still have quite a bit to do but I'm aiming to finish it in September.

    Drivers side is together. I've been messing around with it on my lunch breaks. This weekend I'm gonna cut out the wheel wells.

    We're tucking! I cut out both wheel wells and now I have to put in some trailer fenders. I'm gonna make a run to the store soon to get the rest of the metal and hardware I need to finish the truck.

    I don't have much of a update. I've been pretty busy the last couple weekends with other stuff so I haven't been able to touch the truck. But I did go out this weekend and get some trailer fenders for the front and steel for my 4 link crossmember. I'll be back on the truck in a few weeks when I get back from vacation. I'm already feeling the withdrawal...

    It's been a month and I finally got back on the truck today. I don't have any pictures worth posting yet but I started on the crossmember for my 3-link. By next weekend I should hopefully have the crossmember and 3-link bars all done. I set a new completion date but if I don't make it then its ok. I'd like to drive it to the drop'em show in N.C. on October 18th.But we'll see what happens, all I know is that I'm happy to be back to working on the truck!
