lol thx, i did that when train horns first started getting popular in 06 i think.
got some more work done yesterday after we hung some new lights in the shop and moved some ****. which wasted about 4 hours lol. got the 4 link crossmember in and the axle set in place ready to be linked.
dont mind the ugly 1x1 temp brace on the notch, it was for when we cut out the gas tank x member. and yes i will add a d/s notch, as thats what the upper bars will mount to most likely. this was just to make sure i got it in the and it would be perfectly square. i used the factory tow holes in front of the leafspring perch for a starting point to :)
my buddy welding in the inner

ben a minute since i updated this, threw it together for allstar event, now its time to finish it!
FINALLY did some work to it today. ordering parts got me motivated.
scooped these up on ebay for 17 shipped. they have 2 sets left. i really want the not smoke version, but these will suffice for now.
in a spare fender
and took the gen II sheetmetal off. ive decided to put the body back to "stock" aka gen I front end with door handles. im gona use a bunch of the parts off my 85 long bed, so if anyone needs any parts LMK.
put my mock up wheel/tire on i scored from work a couple weeks ago. its a 1/4 in short in height, but i can make that difference up. its off an 07 accord.
