NEW PICS:::
this is where Im stuck for now, it currently lacks alot of minor details, but it's mounted, and the only physically signifigant chage to the appearance will be the addition of the controls, and a paint job, it's on saw horses in the picture, b/c I havent attached the hitch reciever stock yet

looks good kento. are you gonna have the rope going through like an eye hook or something similar?

kento911 · Kickflip Joined: 29 Mar 2004 Posts: 3657 City: Phoenix

yeah, I am mounting a drill bushing to guide the rope on the front of it

Looking good... im excited to see how its going to work out.

But i think the gas tank really needs some flames or something Laughing

SleuCrew, thanks, I must say I was tempted to title my little teaser "decline on the message boards into monotony" and sticker that on the tank, y'know in honor of Erich's vid, and toungue and cheek towards all the whiners. ha ha

thats actually a great idea....

naaaaah I think everybody would take it literally instead of gettin the fact that I am making fun of the fact that the boards haven't declined, but the attitudes have, I dont know, I might do a variation on the theme, hows "Kids and Heros" coming

when a winch is mounted on the hitch of a truck, does it have a stand or something underneith it or a wheel or anything? I just can't picture something of that size resting ontop of a trailor hitch and just hanging off the back of a truck.
