Whoa! Really?
You KNOW Tammy deserves that!
All those long miles, all those late nights and early mornings!
Make it a 5/25 gift on May 25 (get it?) - ask me later what that is. (Hint: Eph. 5:25)

Late nights and early mornings?? ROFLMAO!! She's a Solar Powered Driver, I'm the one that runs the night shift.
You got me to go read my biblethat was cool how you did that :thumb:
I hope you didn't have to wipe the dust off of it first, lol

That's true lol I have a very nice NIV study bible my mom bought for me :yup:
We'll thank you, been a chore for sure. Much trial and even more error, lol. Still trying to get the Hydro-Assist dialed in, dealing with aftermarket parts that don't work and play well together is always a pain.

I have to take a little drive to pick it up sometime in mid June but it'll be worth it.(the transfer case, not the putt-putt)
So It's nearly 100 degrees outside and I'm building Mumbo's new fascia/bumper in the heat and no shade. Stupid? Yes but I had hoped to have most of it finished by noon. Looks like it will be a 2 day job with the first day doing the fab work and welding and the second doing a little grinding/rounding of the edges and finally painting it. I'll post up the pics a little later today providing there's no heat stroke, lol. The quality is far from EVO but since my welding is getting only slightly better, it doesn't look like a shittybuilt either.
The Mrs has put her foot down. Puking from the heat means it's time to call it a day. So what welding didn't get done today can be done tomorrow afternoon or Monday. Here's a couple pics of the progress:
The welds on the outside are just fill welds, they'll get rounded off with a grinder. Still have to fab up the end caps and weld them on. Planning to use the original holes for mounting on the frame as well as the four for my receiver hitch.
Still have some reinforcing to do on the inside as I will be mounting D-Rings to the bumper.
Looks like there is still plenty of clearance for the tire. I plan to add a narrow upright piece along the back edge of the top similar to the backsplash on a counter top just to hide the hideous body mounts I had to use.

I think the heat is the least of my problems today. Heard a strange squealing noise this afternoon when I started Mumbo up. He's gonna need a throwout bearing in the very near future by the sounds of it.

Ouch... well I'm far away but if you need a flat driveway to pull the trans I'd be glad to help
No better time to swap the T-Case, lol.
