Owen it was fawkin sick to see that thing run today and awesome job in the comp! and nice job making josh shit his pants!

[Even]

Did you get the pitman arm in time?

I'm pumped to hear updates on how this rig did.

[Zullock Holmes]

roll on v notch, drove out, so sick....video coming.

[HeavyMetal]

it did very well in competition form

[Lawn Guyland]

awesome rig! you kicked ass at the comp owen

[OWEN]

Thanks guys, I definately have some dents to hammer out of this piece. Always a pleasure to beat on it.

Pete, those pics are sweeet, I got a new profile pic on the face book.

Even, I got the arm, it is longer than what I have now, too long to put on without moving my steering box which was way too much to do before the comp, I am going to change some stuff around so it will fit, and the longer arm should help out my somewhat shitty steering (although I have been thinking alot about full hydro since saturday)

I was rushing to get stuff done on this before the comp, I will update with what I did, and what I am going to do on it soon.

i'm kinda upset i didn't go down there, after seeing the videos this has definitely become a rig to drool on.

what brands of hub were you thinking of going with? my dad ran Milemarkers in his 84 Silverado and they also both broke, and all that truck did was plow. He switched to Warns and has had them in for about six years now, they held up pretty well.

definitely looking forward to some of these upgrades

owen just go driveflanges or go with powertrains, bob has them on his 79f350 and they've worked well for 8 years or so with plowing and all..

I really like flanges, I have some in right now, but next time I have to drive to a trail on the road it will suck. I was checking out Kappy's Superwinch hubs, I like that they are in CT, because if they give me balls about returning them, I can drive there and flip. The Milemarker rep I bought my locking hubs from said "if you ever have a problem just send 'em back" but he failed to tell me "we won't even talk to you if you don't have a receipt."

I think I am going to get 35 spline outers too.

[kappy]

ya my super winch ones seam pretty beefy but idk never had super winch ones before easy to install to and i like that there only 1/4 turn

[BOX]

I've had super winch locking hubs Xplode on me. I've had warn hubs for over 4 years now. No problems yet.
