Depending if the gun range is open tomorrow afternoon up there I can bring it with me. If not I'll bring it Monday afternoon.

I work till 6 the next 3 days. Don't have the 2x2 with me today.

 

[86 slo-vo]

I can do it Tuesday or Wednesday then.

 

[disciplerocks]

That works. As long as you're going to be up here. Hate for ya to make the trip just for me.

Well I did this at work today.

So after 12 stitches and a tetanus shot, I got to go home for the day. Early start to my weekend.

So with the Explorer driving, the Focus waiting on the correct piston rings (was sent the wrong ones), and my buddy's bike rack finished (see below), I needed a project. So I decided to start working on the 8.8 again. This is where she sits right now.

Plans are to swap it out with the tranny. But priority is the Focus at this point. Here's where is sits right now.

And btw here's the bike rack I built for a buddy.

down to the meat, nice. my finger looked like that after i dropped an 8.8 on it

good work on the bike rack

 

[disciplerocks]

Got the Ex 8.8 pulled.

 

[disciplerocks]

In temporarily. Moved 3" back. But that caused my pinion angle to shift and looks like I may have gas tank clearance issues.

Get rid of that tank, pick up a beer keg, and be done with it, problem solved.

Looks like some more sheet metal will be missing in the near future.

Looks weird that way. Better start cutting.

comp cut?

 

[disciplerocks]

Not sure yet. I want to keep the stock tail lights. And any way I go, I'm going to have to redo the the wheel wells.

I would just remove the stock lights so you dont have to worry about breaking them. Do a comp cut and make a bracket that some trailer led lights can mount in. IDK just spitballing some ideas your way, good luck!

 

[disciplerocks]

I want my stock lights so they match my trailer.

it'd be a lot of work to move the entire wheel opening back... i've seen it done tho. looks awesome. kinda like the difference in a LJ and a TJ jeep.. extend your body! lol.

i'd say just extend the wheel opening. ideally, i'd like to see the tire as center of the opening tho...
