[droppa]

saw this front bumper and thinks im gonna make one like this......looks strong!!!!

[droppa]

also had some work done on this surf, did over the suspension with some skyjacker hydro 7000s and also did a 2" body lift to it.....




front shock, real nice ride....



good enough flex here...




wheel amost stuffed, but its not for that kinda abuse....



these H7000s really did a great job, well worth the money.....

[droppa]

then after the suspension we did the 2" body lift......


tear down in progress...



side shot before lift.....


blocks inside, monsterrocky hard at work......


black off the blocks, and adjusting a buffer pad....




rightside after 2" body lift...


radiator drop bracket


2LT sits a bit lower now....


bumper brackets


front shot, huge difference in clearance now.....


after all done....


she get taller....

[droppa]

well meanwhile back at the trol project, work is goin on, but she running, so we trying not to interfere and have too much down time, went be the elect to check over the charge rate

[droppa]

wait, what did i just say, not interfere....hides face....



only a side B vehicle has permission to transport the parts belonging to another side B vehicle.....

[droppa]

decided the high roof or toppin as we call it had to go, it was too ugly and dem darn barn doors were in too much of a mess to bring back to life.....

[droppa]

so the work was going on by the lil ole welder man....



reinforcement for the tailgate



and must get some patch work done one time.....




sorry but i could only get there by nightfall










had the poopsie and G busy, cleaning and painting to go on the Side B run the next morning....
