As previously mentioned, the load on the loft is what will tell you how big your beam needs to be. It is a bit of a complex problem, as you will have support from the 3 walls and the load will be distributed across the floor. The next part of the problem is what material you want to use. As...

Is that your T-case laying on the ground under that spring? Looks like a lot of work to make that servicable again! :D

might have to be a late dinner, as the 'trail officials' have a mandatory meeting on monday night 7pm. shoot me your contact digits, or call me during that weekend so I have your number.

I've seen the photos you posted. You definately have a bigger project than I started with. It looks like you're making good progress! Found out yesterday I didn't grind enough off my rear spring perches. Will have to pull the tires and shocks to get in there and grind a bit more. Probably...

I had one experience with them when I broke a u-joint on my front axle. They had the part I needed, and charged me a very reasonable price. Definately a bunch of great people! They will get my business whenever possible.

Thanks Shane! Amazing what some fresh paint and a few new parts can do for a rig!

Yep! should be arriving on Sunday night the 1st. Planning on taking my nephew to Arches Nat Park on Monday. That gives me a relaxing day with no pressure and gives him an opportunity to see a really cool place he can tell all of his friends about. Might be up for hitting a late afternoon...

Nice work! Truck looks good. That bed really is screaming to be bobbed...

:D :rofl: Not gonna happen, but I did spend an inordinate amount of time applying the Mother's California Gold car wax system. It was worth it. I probably have only waxed that paint 3 times since I bought it in 2002. I need to buy a buffer and really go to town on that hood...

It's looking great so far. You gonna post up more photos? You guys are doing awesome with the timeline you've been working with!

Hey, I have made arrangements to stay friday night. We should definately hook up. My nephew will be with me, so can't be doing any big parties! Got some 'beauty' shots this afternoon.

Update! BlackSheep is back up and drivable!!!! Last night, I got the driveshaft installed , started filling the tranny and started on some of the trail gear (CB Install). This morning, I got up early and got right to work. Had to clean up the mirror relocation brackets, so between oil &...

Nice work Dan! You're a credit to the wheelin' community!

Thanks guys! I'll post up some 'beauty' shots after she gets all cleaned up. Got to document the new parts, as I know those freshly painted and powdercoated and new parts will get scratched up during EJS.

More stuff done. She's standing on her own four feet now. all chassis work is completed, now just need to grease and re-install the rear driveshaft, install the CB radio, refill the radiator / coolant system, change diff gear oil F&R, fill tranny, reconnect the battery and start her up...

Y'all are a bunch of post paddin' mofos! pad:D

Stay Away From Cruiser Style Bikes... if you are interested in handling and twisty road performance. I 'grew up' on I4 sportbikes, had an '86 GSXR 750 when they first came out. Later on I graduated to the FJ1200. My FJ was an '89 model. The FZ1 is on my list for my next bike. The FJ1200 of...

Welcome! Post up some photos of your rig. When I was in high school, I had a '51 3a. I really regret selling that thing. It was in quite good condition. I'm beginning to look for another flatty, as I really do want to build me a mild flatfender for easy trails and just cruising on the nice...

True. Every time I go to mount up a new shiny piece, I see the old rusted stuff underneath....Have to break out the sandpaper, wire wheel and masking tape to try to clean that stuff up as well. About the only thing I won't have fresh paint on is my axles.... Started to put my fresh...
