The Camo Beast as it Evolves.

Yeah HeyYou...it's like that all hours under the sun.
Looks fantastic Corbo. Really nice work and those features really appeal to me. Do the spinners make any kind of sound? With their color, I bet the help with any bird annoyances maybe? Are the spinners able to lock down if need be? Anything to do for storms?
I can see how these are upgrades to the Camo Beast.

The spinners are silent. The birds already knows to watch out for me. They do not lock down. Making the wife happy will get me back to the truck sooner. Making the stands is giving me welding practice and my welds are looking good. Almost ready to tackle the traction bar.
Ok, hey you, I guess I took that picture before we relocated the table
It gets shade most of the day

Thanks
HB, the traction bar project is on hold.
One, I've been welding other projects building my welding skills for when I tackle the traction bar.
Second, my wife wanted the yard done and you know about priorities. And
Third, the traction bar will require a major modification of the exhaust. I'll be putting headers on at that time. So first I'll put the three inch body lift on, then the traction bar, the headers and then to the muffler shop. Somewhere after the lift I will be fabricating the new bumpers.
The traction bar will be a single bar, close to the driveshaft on the passenger side.

Its time to get back on the Camo Beast. I had a muzzle loader deer hunt up in New Mexico. Here is a picture of the little Buck I shot
Came back from the hunt and worked 17x12 1/2 hours shifts in a row for a small maintenance turn around we had here at work. Yesterday I finished the waterfall project in the back yard. So now I figure I should be able to devote some time to knocking some things off the to do list for the Camo Beast
1) Install new track bar (to replace the bent one)
2) Install the 3" body lift
3) Install the headers and remove the old exaust
4) Finish fabrication the traction bar and install it
5) Get the new exaust installed
6) Raise receiver hitch tube
7) Fabricate front and rear bumpers
8) Fabricate rock sliders for each side
9) Make tie down for spare tire in bed

My Redhead steering box started leaking again. The guys at Redhead sent me one right out and said they started putting a bigger bearing in that should solve FYE issue. I also ordered a steering box brace from PSC that will add strength and hopefully solve future problems.

Swapping steering boxes is getting old. On Monday, I will install the track bar, Steering gear box and brace.
