Indeed, I'm slow

We're looking to get this swap going soon, so we can get wheeling!

I'm going now



Ok not really.

I'm seriously thinking about creating a backup vehicle in 2013 to limit down times to an effective zero. We need to be out in the dirt.

That gets the Parker stamp of approval.

Cool with me.

You know we can convert you to disk brakes on the rear axle after this swap is complete.

Good plan.

Let's do it.

Oh sweet! Should we paint them before we take them to the shop?

No. They need to be painted on the truck.

Oh, alrighty.

They'd have to grind the paint off in order to get a good weld. So just paint them on the truck.

Are these parts being welded on?

Yes.

^what he said.

I thought these were adjustable and to be welded later on in life?

The base of it gets welded on, then the adjustable portion adjusts off of that base.

They'll still be adjustable when they're welded on. They're adjustable by the many holes in the sides. Bolts hold the bucket and backers together.

Ahhhh that was what Randall was saying. When we find the correct height have them weld it in place them as well in the correct hole , no?

That part is optional, but is what I would likely do. You could leave it adjustable.

I'd leave it adjustable. Grade 8 bolts would be sufficient enough without welding everything together.

The infamous grade 8

I found a grade 9 for a winch on two machines at work.
