Nice work! Do they have a racing league for these? :bounce:

My initial thought is cross members between the rails, strictly for the height aspect. I don't know how much harder that will make it though, and if it's worth that effort for just a few inches. I'll be watching to see what you do. I don't think either of those will help in a hydraulic...

When I first clicked this thread, while at work, I had no idea what a Porte-cochere was, and couldn't see the pictures. If it had been anyone else that had started it, I likely would have forgotten about it. But when I saw that Royce was the original poster, I KNEW it was going to be interesting...

Please excuse my lack of knowledge here, but were those C-clamps enough to keep those welds from pulling as they cooled, and warping the work? Or does cast iron not pull like steel?

Looks amazing! :bowdown: I have a question about the center section: Is there any way for water/other debris to exit the winch box? It won't be an issue if he cleans and maintains his vehicles like you do, but us mere mortals would have all kinds of junk (leaves, etc) trapped in there.

For the DIY type that is interested in OTA TV, but doesn't want to buy anything just yet, there are some very simple antennas that you can build, basically for free. Then you can test them in different areas, angles, and heights to see what is available in your area. Here are 2 examples of some...

We all anxiously await this build thread! :bounce: Glad you made it safely.

The beds around here were expensive too, and I couldn't see spending more on the bed than I did on the truck. Plus, I like learning some bodywork as I need it. I didn't replace the full bedside, but I imagine the process is similar. I replaced the fenders with 16ga trailer fenders thinned and...

I hope these builds will be featured here too! :beer:

You can just see them at the top of the first picture. They've got to be special nuts to go around those bends and looks like they use that extra insert piece too.

Looking back through the thread, I see that I never added the pictures of the second knife I made in the last round, a couple years ago. 8 3/4" overall: There's a vine detail in the spine that wraps the entire way around the handle: And here are two more that I just finished this week: 1. 7"...

Because we simply can't compare to the work you do. :bowdown: I've got 4 more stock removal knives in process. Hopefully I'll have them finished up in the next few weeks.

Because it's brazed, not welded.

I left mine with the hardware it included.

I've been following along, but haven't commented because I'm too busy drooling over your work. The Jeep looks awesome! I like that you want to do your projects the best way possible. I've found myself trying to do more of that when I can, but can't even come close to your caliber of work. I...

With the pictured torque wrench (I'm guessing about 3' long) you'd only need 150 pounds on the end of it.

I'll probably add foot pedals in the future. I can see how they'd make the process much easier!

Needed more room to use my shrinker/stretcher set, so I welded a stand together this afternoon. Now my panel doesn't hit the bench I was clamping them to.

Neat idea! I have the same issue with seeing my little trailers. Are you going to put them on a switch, or just connect to the running lights, so they're on all of the time?

That may be the first time I've seen one of those bolt extractors actually work! Usually, they snap in half, and of course are harder to drill than the original bolt. Nice work. :bowdown:
