My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
I seen a thread like this over on PBB and then went through 10 pages here and didn't see one and was WTF??

Well, now we have one too! HAH!

Ok... I will start off with my own, which compared to others is nothing, but is still some jank ass shit.

My baller extended radius arms (Yes, those are skyjacker arms cut:shok:)


My frame "spacers"



Thank god that shit is gone now. Ok... Now for some seriously scary skills...

i fail to see the fail here:icon_confused:

That skyjacker arm fix up isn't really that janky, aside from the fact you can't cut matching triangles :thefinger:. But other than that its actually not bad....

its hard to see, they were welded crook-ed. And the CJ7 bumper cut down to make the frame wider so i could install the factory coil buckets on the old TTB 44.

But hey, if you guys don't think they are that bad, i'm totally cool with that! :icon_twisted:

I just about died laughing when I saw these three. :icon_rofl:

Now you have a reason to take pitchurs of all the glorious fab work you see.

This is probably my absolute favorite....




Words cannot describe this and what was going through the builders head when he/she built this. :icon_confused:
