Purpose built

The snow really slowed me down, but here is the progress. I am working on the wheel arches, but had to quit in time to get it home, and football is recording

I think Terry did a wall mount fan on his garage-able standy. It is doable.

I am not sure which one that is. Do you have a link or a way to find it?

[KCStudly]

Sure. I just used the Google Custom Search box in the header above, entered "Terry Standy Garage" and it was the first thing that came up.

Mine is probably very similar.
It is a 93 model, same engine, factory locking differentials. It is pretty much stock. I put some Old Man Emu springs in it years ago (probably will replace them soon), a small fridge in back and dual batteries. My oldest daughter learned to drive in it. Now it has a custom front bumper.
I've owned it longer than any other vehicle, but I have had ALOT of cars over the years. I guess that what happens when you spend over twenty years of your life in dealerships.

OK, thanks!

OK, only had a few minutes while the girls ran to the store to get more stuff for the wedding.
Started to wonder about tongue clearance while turning. The snow has melted down, for now, so took a couple pics.
I am building a storage box forward of the first cross member, but looks like I will have plenty of room. I threw together a temporary coupler, plan on using a multi axis coupler, but it shouldn't change much. Full lock, almost 360 degree turn after backing full lock opposite direction.

Struggling with the wheel arches a little bit. I have made two versions that I am not completely happy with.
Need to go get more steel. They were out last time I was there.
This is definitely a learning experience, being my first build. Getting the angles, clearance, and look I want is harder than I thought.
Ah, just more scrap for my next project!

OK IT'S OFFICIAL!!!
I have got the trailer bug!
I have a bought toy hauler, a modified utility trailer, an in progress off road trailer, and NOW I'm planning a foamie.
No one told me this was addictive! It's not my fault! Is there a group somewhere?
Oh yah, I'm already there!

That's right
Or you could build your off road trailer in foam... I think it is possible with just a bit stronger/thicker fiberglass skin, just a thought..

I thought about it, but I already bought my aluminum.
The foamie will be towed behind a Subaru.
Need to finish this one first.

The dance is done!

Will try to get back at it, but playoffs will most likely slow me down!

Finally have the wheel arches the way I want. Starting on the rear up kick and bumper.
My truck decided to give me grief. Both right side brakes locked up on my way back from steel yard. Welcome to the de-icer zone. I HATE MAG CHLORIDE!!!
I know it burns my skin working on cars that are covered with it, it destroys our cars, but its good for the environment, right?

A little progress, but not much
