Another good day.Those are some pretty bad pictures, I just use my phone. Maybe red dog had it.Must be a reflection but the hood looks OD here.
I am confused by the return of the bench seat. I thought that was planned to be installed in the bed facing rearward? Did you really hate the "racing" style seats that much?
so the end result was m2/d3?
I'll retask them somewhere.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

Did you really hate the "racing" style seats that much? Yes, I did not like the racing seats. I couldn't get in the truck because of the leg bolsters and steering wheel interference. Next the rib bolsters are small, for some girly Honda driving man, not a full sized creatine enhanced guy like me. Then the angles were all goofy.I'll retask them somewhere. And this project evolves...After I put the bench in the bed, I then decided, derrrr!, I need space for extra fuel! Anyway, I'm happy now, the truck seems to like the arrangement as well!
I was always told when cutting angle you should have the corner pointing up so your blade is cutting the least amount of material possible. Just some food for thought. Very curious how the bumper will come out. :)
Looking good Don- gotta ask, WHAT is a TV cable ? At first I thought you were putting in a monitor system with HBO as an option; then I was thinking Transmission Variation and I'm still "scratching" my knoggin' :P
That's all she wrote but aien't no fat lady singin' so the show is not over...just an intermission. Had to make time for a dad/son project. We built a picnic table for the farm and plan to take it down there in the morrow to improve out fighting position there as well.So ended build day 251...

Amen(Someone might offer up a prayer to protect the tools from the brush hog) ;)

It must be one helluva table to provide cover and not just concealment..
Nice start the Don. Can't wait to see the final shape.

Here's what you need Don. Buddy of mine bought these for his Unimog.43inch tires on 20 inch wheels directly off an MRAP
I see an online auction for LMTVs starting @4750 what do you think they sell for?
check out IronPlanet, they have about 35 up for auction right now. Some at Ft Knox and some at Bragg. I think your estimate is spot on.I don't know much about parts availability since Stewart and Stevenson in Sealy lost the contract to the WI company whos name escapes me. Power train seems pretty straightforward.Are parts readily available?
