LOL it rained yesterday. I still have some bare metal and the road salt is horrible on my links and stuff. I am trying to avoid road salt at all costs. I hate that stuff.

By the time I get off work today it will be dark. Maybe in a few days?

Ok... I've been away from R-F for most of the Holidays and I miss out on *** tons of work from Beard... sick work Beard.

Truck looks simply amazing. I might have some questions for you soon. Love the fact you put the Anti-Rocks on it. Damn it... your front end is pretty much exactly what I want mine to be like only with 37's instead of the 35's Boggers I'm gonna run.

If I could ever get motivated enough to work on mine. The damn 9" is so frustrating. I have the damn diff cover sitting right next to my bed. I wake up every morning with that thing staring at me. Stupid axle.

Thats why it should be. Plus, it would be pretty cool to see it in one.

Haha... you know what I mean. The 9" Gear Housing. I'm stuck trying to tap a hole in that thing for the ARB airline. Every tap I've used has pretty much just stripped itself clean. Oh well... I'll get it eventually.

Not tryin to be an ***. But how are you using the tap?? Get some wheel bearing grease or some kinda grease and tip the tap in it... Go in 2-3 turns or till it gets tight, and back it out some and keep doing this! I worked at a manufacturing plant for numerous years and tapped some seriously hard metals and the only reason i ever broke a tap was being stupid and pushing too hard when twisting it and sheared it off.... Just an idea... Sorry for the hijack!
