I cam across some assist shocks for cheap. I don't know if they actually do anything it says it gives any extra 500lbs of load on each shock and supposed to give a little lift idk but they sit at the same height as the old ones. that said i'm running helper bags any ways to help keep the load level. and its way cheaper then replacing the old leaf springs.

Nice work on it. I like your junction box for your trailer connectors. Nice work on the bag mods and bed widening. If has been a warm fall. Next week around here is going to be warm too. Sounds great to me!

Great work on the boxes and doors

Thanks, I'm happy with the junction box, I also run my tellights off it and it makes it easy to add lights. It looks like its going to be cooling down next week here. It was 72 on christmas day here, apparently it was the warmest christmas in the last 30 some years here.

You spent a lot of time with the plasma cutter on those trees. Nice little gift though. I like the exhaust exit. Looks good

Unfortunately I spent more time cleaning the slag off then It took me to cut them. The where a big hit with the family! I'm happy with how the exhaust turned out.

I've been neglecting this thread. I finally started back at work so I haven't posted any updates. But I have made a lot of progress.

I have a few months worth of a photo dump.

My buddy that I painted his truck gave me an old warn winch that he got on trade. He though it was told it was an 8k but it is a 6k. but after I did a bit of research on them it has the same gear ratio as the 9k winch. so I'm going to upgrade the motor and motor plate and make it a 9k winch.

Its been a while since I have posted. I have not stopped on the truck. I have just gotten lazy with my up loads.

Back last year after I finished the winch I installed a York compressor I have had sitting since 2012 I always planed on using it for onboard air on something but just have not.

Its a york 206

I built a new shifter! It started out as a old Hurst 4 speed shifter that I found in our barn when we bought the house. back in 05 I think?

I cant find some of the pics. The chrome was coming off it was super rusty and pitted. In this pic it looks like i just finished sanding all the chrome a pits off of it getting ready to cut it.

20220816_205308 by jarrod vanwinkle, on Flickr

I made some brackets to be able to bolt it on and make it height adjustable.

20220816_214714 by jarrod vanwinkle, on Flickr

here is the bracket welded in place and the shifter polished. before I copper and nickel plated them.
