Reply:Nice! I really like the safari rack. How well does that light bar work?

Reply:Thanks.I haven't wired up the LED lightbar yet. I had just mounted it up there, and when I drove it to work the following day, the tranny crapped out.  I should be getting a replacement trans this weekend, then I'll wire it up.Miller Synchrowave 180 SDLincoln PowerMig 255Hypertherm Powermax 45Torchmate 2x2Victor O/A

Reply:Excellent stuff!I found an add for a 97 (real jeep style) locally with a broken frame and no price. I quick look up blue book and see nice private sales are around $3500. I call the guy and he says it really is just for parts because of the frame and now he says he sees a body mount is all rotted out and whatnot. Nothing I can't fix anyhow so getting more excited that the price may be scrap type I ask what number he has in mind for the whole thing. He replies $3000....  I say thanks and hung up.
Reply:Very nice build.  Thanks for sharing.  Those rigs look great with THAT much lift, and THAT size tire.  Well done.-AaronJet 17.5" Drill Press1942 South Bend 16x84 Lathe1980s Miller 320A / BP --- 2013 Power Mig 2562012 Jet 7x12 Horizontal BandsawVictor O/A Setup
