James is running like 60 something correct?

I'm sitting at around 110 due to my wanting a total flat belly and not cutting through my floor too much and it seems to work very well. I'd theoretically like it a little bit lower but not enough to tear it apart. If you can put adjustable brackets up there I would do so, otherwise run what fits as long as its reasonable.

Dude that XJ bumper in the front brings the beef, no worries there


Alec does a due date relative to school starting mean your not moving to Hatteras to be a big gay roofer?

Will installed that bumper. He knows all. I will win KOH now.

Yes, sadly. I am going back to school because I cannot feasibly keep the shop/bronco and move to paradise :(

Sitting on its own weight for the first time in 18 months :eek:

That is at full bump.

I started the boatsides tonight. I don't think they will be near as difficult as I first thought. I'm hoping to have them done by month's end. After that, I'll be mocking up coilovers and building the cage.
