rebuild ??????
i kinda like to refer to this as upgrades, since i'll be usin all my 01 plastics and my fresh (late last year) KEN OCONNOR motor is still rippin good...............

started with an 06 frame that some numbskull drilled holes for a skidplate, right where they bend.........

repaired/gusseted and modded the frame to accept all my 01 stuff.........

cut out 5 inches and rewelded the aluminum pro armor nerfs, originally from an ltz 400, i later added welded on upper rear
mounts.......

Wow..that there is alot of good stuff !!

Thats the one thing I hate about mine.You lose half of the kicker throw.But on the good side when you can't start it you know it's time for a rebuild.lol

good point gibby
it should, didnt look at that, duh !!!! but they sit back behind the fender, and will need cut a little more to clear my brake rezzie and line, so a little more out for the kicker won't hurt, at least i'll get my confidence back that my feet won't be goin anywhere near that "foot mangling" back axle, once was enuf for me, my next chopper ride will be for pleasure i hope

looking at your pic dually, mine sit prolly another 2 inches back, we shall see, they almost touched the tire with a stock swinger and 20's, hence the T-ROCK +2
 
Looking good awk, and i don't believe some numbskull actually drilled holes in the frame for a skidplate, but the fix looks good... Good work on the welding slicker, have some rep...
 
Damn I'm blind! I see BOTM in your future! Happy to be at your service I'd do anything for Mom's chili! MMMM I think I still have gas however-FAAART!

Looking good bro! I know your ichin to get up on that mountain, cause I am!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I loved that chili we had at awk"s!!!! FART
