Thanks!

The smittybilt tube front bumper went on craigslist a while ago.
Rear bumper is an off the shelf piece. Can't remember who makes it. Thanks, it's nowhere near done yet!

When wheeling on New Years I had some issues.... didn't have the rear bumper mounted very well, pulled the **** out of it....

Now it is strong.







The new garage is just big enough for both of my boys. Glad that the right hand side is super deep so all the storage, work bench and tool boxes are back there.



My blazer has some blazer friends....







We like wheeling up in the TSF (Tillamook State Forest, Oregon Coast Range)

Bought a Harbor Freight toy the other day to take care of my fenders. Right now I have clearance for 37x13.5 on 4" lift. I'd like to be able to stuff a 39.5 in there on my same 4".





this is pre cut...
