I blame CTScott for this -

Yep, just about got her finished. 2008 with 27" tractor tires on 14" steel rims, 2.5 lift in the rear, 2" spacers on the front wheels. Totally stock otherwise (besides the custom weight reduction).

Need to do a little more "massaging" of the inner fender wells on the front cause i'm still getting a tiny bit of rub at full articulation when the wheel is cranked and I also need to figure out how to rig up a hitch to pull our farm trailer and the brush mower.

Thanks I sometimes need to "nudge" equipment around and wanted something of a classic touch to the front end.

Nice! For the hitch you can either copy the hidden hitch style one (which mounts to the two tie down tabs) or simply weld or bolt a receiver to the bottom of the rear bumper. I welded one and it works great.

I always get a kick out of stuff like this.

I'm tempted to get a little 110 flux wire welder as i've been wanting one for years and might go the weld on route. Metal work/fabrication isn't really much of an option for me since i don't have access to metal other than what can be picked up at lowes or home depot nor do i have the tools available. Welding on a cheap harbor freight hitch is looking like the easiest/best option.

Thanks ! It was alot of fun to build and it will be so nice this summer to be kicking back with the AC and stereo on sipping on a cool drink while mowing the back acreage
