Re: Jim Bob a build thread
Awesome build man, and I like the placement of the head unit above the Air controls. I have mine under it and the linkage from the air control unit will get caught, so I can't really use it. Not that it's useful at all anyways lol.

Re: Jim Bob a build thread
We take the 78 for the winter storms
I love the 4X4,no probs with it,keep the shifter lubed,it works great the 31s are a pain in the deep snow,tracking in others ruts is fun, gona swap to stock skinnys next winter. did the christmas parade this year,my half hour version had to add music the exhaust sounded terrible...

I didn't take too many final wiring shots.

Re: Jim Bob a build thread
-28 and colder with the windchill.
Got hit in the work van while it "was parked " Guy hit black ice before the snow bank,up the sidewalk hit street lamp post,drivers side(street light fell on snowbank) hit restaurant sign post on pass side, and still enough push to turn van around 180 degrees(parked facing street).... boss says "nobody got hurt" the rest can be fixed... well I'm sure that 17 teen year olds' truck is a write off.

Re: Jim Bob a build thread
We've decided to close up the yard...
whoever ripped up the hedge,really made a mess,thinned it right out,it's dying thought maybe some lattace,@40$ per sheet it looks good. We thought snow fencing,but would not stop another dog Turns out Rona had a clearance sale on 6' chain link. those three rolls (130+ ft)and a 4X3 gate $100. Drove to every store around me looking for more....none Stopped at a pro fence place,they were nice,and gave me 20% off cause I was paying full price for another roll tho to finish it off the same.
