Thanks 'Scouts..........but I'll stick to skool bus yellow, fuel, spark and a gear box that would scare a yuppie.......

So since we hauled a little timber.....
Let's haul a little IRON.......if your in charge of a company, or own one......YOU KNOW Thanksgiving week is the absolute WORST week for production in the industry......it absolutely BLOWS....I'll be more than happy to go into detail if need be, but for now........it simply sucks for American manufacturing/industry.......

Not dicking around, I needed material, my best quote was NEXT MONDAY...F that..............brokered a deal with my local reseller who typically charges twice my cost, to just an eight dollar over charge.......SCORE!

48 feet of American iron.........roof top.........I'm working, your slacking!






Not a huge.......Hug me moment and call me Buck..., but this is a week where life sucks for those attempting anything... a weekend in which we can't get what we need as our suppliers are closed.......over having dinner.....a turkey.....on THURSFINGDAY...................................BLO WS......I blow a saw blade tomorrow.....I'm sunk.

If your an office boy or just a kool worker bee........Ya ain't gonna get it.
But thanks for being what you are!

So that's just for that material, have a ton of other stuff going on as well, if anyone needs something to do.....come on over!

Oh, in case I loose my typing finger between now and tomorrow in an industrial accident............Happy Thanksgiving!!

Do you mind if I steal your front bumper design. Might make a few changes, but it will be very similar. Have the lower light location given you any issues?

Enjoyed following along on your build.

Brian.

Not at all, I'll can even give you cuts and measurements if you like.
The bumper is just a one off trying a different approach to what's out there, I'll sell it off when I build the next one trying something again different.....9/10's of the fun is design/development.

Lights down low......no, no issues.......don't care much for the round LED's but they were laying around here so I used them......I'd prefer a different pattern of light.

Wasn't planning on it, but ended up doing a little wheeling last night after 60 of my Amish neighbors calf's escaped....lol....the 42" light bar was by far out standing for this, lit those fields and wood lines up like day light. literally cut down on the driving since I could see a couple hundred yards or so ahead, made sweeping the area easy! Dude owes me some BEEF!!

Outside of that, still busier than a one legged man in a kick boxing fight......I should have been a dentist.....set my own hours........played golf.
