Well, the Motorhome isn't Black, (well at least not yet anyway).

This is one of those epic builds that you're glad you get to read about.

Here is a photo of the front end with the bumper set in place. The bumper will be flush with the grille. Also we probably will have to cut out most of the grille now if we want to install a winch. Anyway it's still in the early stage and anything could change.

winch doesnt need to be visible in street mode does it?

 

[IZwack]

Its a space problem, the radiator is only a few inches behind that grille.

 

[Stic-o]

Put the factory grill back on...Don't like the billet one:thumbdwn:

Maybe cut the center out of the original to go in or something

 

[spotter guy]

ya I agree, I want to use the FX4 grill and cut it

^I made your swap thread a sticky. Go to sleep.

Truck looks sweet Paul! R.V. and a 450 towing is a lot of diesel.

Here are some photo's on what Winter was working on this pass weekend.


The first two are fabication's on making clearance on the frame for the lower link's. The last picture is showing the bracket's for the upper & lower link's.
This week Winter will be putting together the 4 link system.

 

[410Fortune]

how does that plant do with all the metal dust in the air? LOL

Looks like the rear of the frame has gone missing?

Looking good! Winter and Iz should get together and make a competition rock buggy.

Except, I would just end up at the corner with a big bowl of lumpia watching Winter do all the work
But it'd be cool -- maybe we can up the challenge and build a Class-11 bug

 

[Paul B.]

Someone is getting serious now! Winter decided he needed a larger jack. (note the smaller one behind the new jack). Second picture is getting the rear end prep for the 4-link system which will be install this weekend. Picture's later.

 

[410Fortune]

cannot wait to see this weekends progress! 4 link baby! no need for canitileverd shocks on this ex LOL

 

[BKennedy]

You know Paul, you should just go ahead and buy a hoist and save Winter's back.

I Love you Brian.......

OMG I'm on line again.....Iz I agree on upping the challenge however I think BOTH Iz and I would be sitting on the corner talking/day dreaming about the rig not building it. Where's my Lumpia?????
