I can't tell from the pics... is the super long bolt still on it?

Looks really good BTW.

Oh no the radius arm bolt? No I removed that like an hour after I got the truck home. That thing sticking down is from the steering? What it is I don't know I just never cut it off, it's some sort of strap. The steering that came with the truck was blown out and was a scary ride doing 70 on the freeway so the steering from my 90 got put on, which is already bent.

Oh well I just keep replacing stock steering on her cause I don't want to do swing set.

Right on Mikey!! Looks great. How is the bushing mount? Also can you tell a difference in rigidity just from driving around a little at 230 in the am. hahaha

Dude, this is the best line yet: "Hope you like it, if not I don't care"

No I honestly can't tell, I mean the tags are expired two months, it was 2:30am, and I had no hood and fenders so I didn't exactly drive all over town, but no the truck feels exactly the same minus the fact it has better seats.

I forgot to take pictures of the bushing mounts, but basically it's just a notched 1.75 tube going to the frame for now, I will add two gussets to each outrigger next, but like I said I need to get rolling on other people's vehicles.

Wow, those A-pillars are pretty tight for not going into the dash. Looks good, can't even see tell where the sleeves are.

BTW, the only person I ever made fun of for sleeving something is Jerry.........

I think.......

All packed up for KOH, maiden voyage on the cab cage. Also have my 7" B&W Lowrance GPS and VDO gauges installed but forgot to take some pictures.

I'll be camping off Bessemer, and monitoring Mag7 and BFG Pits if anyone is out there and wants to me up.
