E. D. White. We have a track meet there next thursday. I hope to get a job this summer too! Until then, I'm installing amps and radios and stuff for kids at my school.

Nice, yeah I've done that for friends too. And a lot of cb radios with PAs.


But tonight went exploring with some friends. Took the girlfriend too, she was freaking. We went in thinking it would be crazy muddy but turned out to be a lot of swamps.

It looks like a gar is flying off to the left ! Any new welding projects ? I started out with a 100hd , with good prep you can do an awful lot with that welder . Its biggest weak spot is the duty cycle , but if your patient you can work around that .

Haha it does... But I think its a bug. They were all over. But on the welding, I started on some tube doors I saw a guy on JF made. They have a spider web design going through them. But this is what the first one looks like, ill get the other one done once I start getting some cash.

Put some new fog lights on the bumper since one of my harbor freight lights went out. These will probably become back up lights once I can afford a new set of long range lights for the bumper. $40 at auto zone

Also found a new place to explore...

If you're not busy, on Sunday Northshore 4x4 is meeting up @ the Big Easley trail to have a day of trail maintenance. There'll be wheeling involved, I imagine food as well among other things. Obviously the key proponent to it all is helping maintain the trail. We're all meeting @ Nick's Grocery to be ready to hit the trails for 8:15am.

Bring gloves and anything else you think you might need, f you're down... ie.) chainsaw, hatchet etc.

Honestly, anyone's guess. I'm gonna go out on a limb though and say somewhere between 3 and 6. I've not the slightest clue as to how much work actually needs to be done, nor how many people are actually going to show up to help work on the trails. My buddy Brian and I are going and I suspect there'll be at the very least another half dozen or so. Also gonna see if I can get a neighbor to join up with his TJ, so naturally the more people we have, the quicker the day goes

That said, if you're working, I wouldn't go out of my way to try and make it at a later hour. Not worth the potential risk of showing up with everyone gone haha, there'll be another day I'm certain.

Hence why people shell out $125 for KC's

Id recommend u put those lights either inside the bumper and shinning through the Ws. Just take the bumper off and cut a hole in the back, place the lights inside with them shinning through the W. Then just drill a hole at the bottom of the opening in for the wire to go through. Weld it back up, and have a completely custom lit bumper and fog light protection. Or id make some kind of guard over them were they are. I've wheeled in Louisiana and those lights don't stand a chance against all the sticks and branches sticking up out there. (Just an idea/suggestion so u dont keep buying lights) Good job on the tube door it looks good. My first spider web came out uneven too. Its a lot harder to get them symmetrical then it looks. Good job none the less.

Right now I have blue LEDS shining through the Ws but that is a good idea. The bumper is already hollow so it would be real easy to do that. But I did move them to my rear bumper already as back up lights because I really needed some. Might be a future mod though, thanks for the idea


Today gave my winch a pat on the back for saving me today...
The picture doesn't do it justice but my rear bumper ended up under mud and the mud was clayish so it caked front tires quite fast. Mad me realize how bad that trailer hitch can drag. It got caught up on the hole when I would try to back out.
