Got 2 weddings to go to on August long weekend. On the same day of course. And I can't really skip either one. On the brighter side it turns out I'll be able to work on the beast all this weekend. Finish up the rear shackle flip Saturday morning, then on to the body lift, then maybe get started on the bumper?? Pics to follow

Rear shackle flip finished. Started on the front bumper/winch last night. Should have the bumper all tacked today

Those brackets from Sky look like a heck of a deal in hindsight. I don't have the time to wait for them to arrive tho...

freejay, isn't there another 59' or something crewcab all done up with 39" boggers and a bb around your area? Cause your truck just reminded me of this other one as it was a fairly decent rig.
