The building of knuckles

[MTG]

Looks real good Mike. What's next on your list of upgrades?

Garden boxes, seal fence, playground mulch, basketball hoop, climbing wall...

Oh for the jeep?

C-pillar cage needs mocked up so it can get welded. Probably chromolly axle shafts. Steering assist at some point. Maybe half doors. Who knows?

That looks fabulous Mike.

They make the tires look small. You need 40's now.

I'd love to build my jeep to run 40s someday, but that is way way way down the list at this point.

Looks great with the slabs!

Thanks guys. I'm happy with it. Should be a little more functional as well. :thumb:

 

[MTG]

Whew! Finally! I was beginning to wonder how long we would have to wait to see knuckles wearing slabs. Looking great!

I was beginning to wonder that myself. Thanks for the write up! :thumb: Made it simple...tedious, but simple. :rock:

I saw that run and would have come down and hitched a ride if I didn't have so much stuff to get done.

Damn Mike you got caught!!! We let Mike hang out with us because the first time he came out with us he was rolling a white Chevy Malibu. Couldn't get him to wheel it though... Looking good as usual Mikey. You gonna de virginize the Slabs on the Marathon??? Sucks that I don't get to run half of my clubs runs now.... I hate when life happens. Looking forward to seeing you soon its beer thirty!!

It was a good run for reminiscing. Last time all of us did Nelson at night Knuckles and Foxc were on little lifts and little tires. You remember, way back in the 2012's.

We need to work on that. See you on the trail soon.

What did you do now?

 

[paychex.308]

are we in need of a balance?

[MTG]

What did you do now?

I've done nothing. But something(s) are getting done. And it isn't balancing the tires.

 

[MTG]

C-pillars welded in.


Welds look good.




Lines up nice with the seats.




I'll get some better pics when it's finished. Have to trim the roll bar padding and bust out the sewing needle on the cover.

I didn't ask the shop to paint it but they did. I was going to go white but the flat black is fine. Not enough to make me redo it anyway.

All in all me thinks its a good addition to knuckles.

Holy crap! I am not in a hurry to do that again!
