I do have to do a good deal of fab for it to work with the F250 High Pinion D44 but I am not complaining.

Well I got a few thing s done to the D44 front and got a rear bumper built but I can not get photobucket to upload pics from my puter??? Any one know of a good 220 ac/dc stick welder for sale around the Cincinnati area my old ass one went to **** and I do not feel like fixing it when I can buy one for around $100 all day.

OK I got the pics on photobucket by using the laptop, so here they are'
Here are the rear bumper I just finished (except for the receiver for the hitch and the D- ring mounts)

Here a few of the axles and the BTF truss ready to be welded up after I get the POS rusted up Knuckles and steering arm off!

That is a big piece of rectangle tube( 6"x3"x3x16") I used the plasma to cut the ends and then used 3/16" plate to cap it. Than I used some 3/16"sheet to build brackets like these to mount it.

I got the material for very cheap other wise I would have used 1/8". I used 4 1/2" bolts on each side to mount it to the unibody so I can use it to tow and pull. I rattle canned it but I hope to start working with a guy that does blasting and powder coating my tube doors and I want to get him to do my bumpers and axles all so.

I am afraid that I will have to cut the ball joints nuts off to get those knuckles off!!

Got all the interior out and the headliner off I am going to re cover it and then start on a cage. I am doing a internal cage just cause I like the look better.

BigBadXJ · 09-27-2010, 11:03 PM

Here is the new headliner I did the center console also I just have not got it in yet.

Nice job with the bumper brackets! Everything looks great so far!

Thanks I chose the fabric cause it was only $2 a yard so I spent like $25 total.

I got two sheets of sheet metal so I can start fixing the floor board and rust spots on the body before I do the Raptor bedliner on the floor and lower half of the body. So I of course have to make things more difficult by chopping up the rear fenders some more to make more clearance for the 37"s to come. Here are a few pics
Here is what they looked like before

Here is after not complete yet(from the door jam forward needs a few spots welded up) but I stopped here because I was tired.

And one of the front axle again just cause I want to?
