Sorry dude, I'll have to go to your competitor.

The decals are top secret "The JohnC Hater Club" decals.
You must know nothing about them

Ouch man that hurts!

Ironically though you could probably make some good money selling them.

I understand. I can't carry it all, but I sure do try!

I do have the wooden dowels though.

Looks good!!!!

mcbassin · 02-20-2011, 12:16 AM

Hey Joe, that looks cool whats the plan for the front? same door setup? Nice! you tired of those rims yet?

joe231 · 02-20-2011, 12:24 AM

Thanks Scott!
Got a ton more welding and grinding left to do.

Mike, I cut the door out of the front to move it to the back. I have a piece I cut out of one of my junk doors to use to fill in that big hole I cut

Nope, still not tired of the wheels, gotta get some new tires though.
I think I'm gonna go 255/60/17 in the front and 285/60/17 on the rear. I need more sidewall.

Ah dont be sceeered

GmtGmt · 02-20-2011, 04:30 PM

i like it! wish i could weld that good or atleast have a decent welder insted of this gasless flux i have but its one tuff little machine

joe231 · 02-20-2011, 05:02 PM

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, gas and .025 wire is the only way to go. I have a Lincoln 135-sp welder. Before I got this welder I was using a little century welded with .035 flux core wire. I tried and tried to weld sheet metal with that and it was a no go, I could weld 1/4" steel with it no problem though.

GmtGmt · 02-20-2011, 05:11 PM

JohnC · 02-21-2011, 11:24 AM

Looks good man! Glad to see "Destiny" is getting some attention!

I have made up my mind, I'm gonna convert to 4x4. It's a no brainer since we are moving back to Alaska at the end of March. I have been checking out DIY4BY, they have some cool stuff.
After we get moved and settled in up north I'm going on the hunt for some 3/4 or 1 ton axles. I wanna do @ a 4" lift and some 35-37" tires.
Decide to start saving for a 6.0 swap also.

I'm thinking I might do a snow camo style paint job.
I'll find a pic of the snow camo I want to do.
Let me know what everyone thinks of my plans.

Joe, all you need to know about doing the 4x4 swap is covered a lot of times over on the pirate board. I warn you though buddy, search and lurk for awhile to do your research. Guys asking about stuff that's been covered before will bring out the heavy guns. It's the best 4x4 board on the intertubes but it's also full of Internet meanies too.

joe231 · 02-21-2011, 10:09 PM

No hauling the crew, it's a driver.

RandyP · 02-22-2011, 09:44 AM

Alaska? Better buy the battery heater, oil pan heater, transmission heater and block heater now and get it all installed.

*nbpro* · 02-22-2011, 02:03 PM

Let me see if I got this right. It's gonna be a cold day in Alaska before this project is finished? lol
