I’ve tried to cut a section of RR track and failed miserably, but the bedframes cut much easier. Fixed up an old dogsled type sleigh to pull around with the snowmobile, and a few other brackets and things.

Finished up the lift on my F-150.

Speaking of the plow truck.... I have some work going into that right now :beer:

OK this is what I came up with, OSB, 2x4's, and wood screws. The trans sits flat and is sturdy enough I wont have to worry about it moving around too much. Now just waiting for the clutch to come on Monday :beer:

The things gotta weigh 150 lbs then trying to line up the input shaft splines with the clutch and flywheel. This is a half ton truck guys not a Ford Focus. I do think I have an idea going for something quick though.

Automatics are easy with flat bottoms. 5 speed manual - no pan!

just tack weld it right to the pad that's on the jack? That could work I think I like it. I was thinking of making a type of cradle to hold it straight since I'll be installing solo.

I took the trans out of my truck this morning to replace the clutch and slave cylinder. I carefully lowered it down with the floor jack on the bell housing and my muscle on the tail housing. It was sketchy at best, but it worked. Now I'm thinking to how I'm going to get it back up in there by...

I'll be ready for a good snowy winter this year! Plow on the truck, plow on the RZR, 2 snowblowers, and 2 snowmobiles. LET IT SNOW!!!

This truck does fit however, the one that counts :beer: my plow truck

I've upped my game a bit and find myself working out in the driveway again, it seems I didn't build my garage big enough. I of course, went against all of the personal advise of "build bigger" but I "knew" that I would be OK with the space :deadhorse on that subject, too late now lol. At least...

A couple of builds already in the books.

Storage solution

A little update lol.

Almost done. rigged up some lighting tonight after they left. The overhead door came with the wrong rails and they were short some shingles, other than that the shell is done.
