Where is that majic dust at?

I wish I would have had some magic dust. I started my rig in 2008 and finally got it the way I want it last summer. I couldn't get the front exo to look right around the stock fenders, so I left it off for a few years. Last summer I decided the only way to make it look right was to cut the front end off and tube it. Sure is easier to work on the engine now.

I have stock Dana joints in mine and have yet to break one. If I were to break one, I would probably go to a better joint.

Well, I met up with Scott and Rob, and they are some good dudes. The red Jeep is badass too. Scott said the caliper brackets are done! Cant wait to pick them up. Instead of opening the bore on the bracket, he decided it would be better to turn down the spindle such that it'll fit nice'n'snug into the caliper bracket. So

for those guys.

I do have a question though...
Is this the right PN for a Detroit? 225SL29A
I'm getting pretty close to finishing the bumper. After many grinding and checking attempts, I was finally able to get all the tubes to fit. They are currently just tack'd together. I need to add the inner 'webbing' pieces, so that'll be another 500x grind/check session. I'm sure using a hole saw+vise is easier, but this is the first time for me, so, so be it.

Also, parts are rollin' in, hooray for tax time. I'm waiting on Ruffstuff heims. Next to purchase is a master rebuild kit from a friend in C-bus, gears, and the Detroit. 4wd factory has an April sale going on now too. I could get that thing for cheap right now. Well cheap in the 'offroad' world.
