The PIC whore club! Come on in!

Sure no problem. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product before I bolted it in but I used a piece of 2 in.² tubing cut at 4 inches long and then ripped it in half, used 1/2 on one side and 1/2 on the other. Welded the nuts on the inside of the box before I welded the box on to what was left of the front hoops (I have an FX4 so I had the skid plate mounting tabs that I had to cut off and use on the front). It’s bolted to the trailer hitch and the bolts come in from the top. Of course I had to paint them Magnetic.

Oh okay, that makes sense. Very cool. I like repurposed fab work like that. I may look into it in the future. Thanks for your time!

Tis the season, finally

Lake looks awesome. Is that a filter or does it really almost look like you're in the Caribbean?

Got some shackle mount blanks and made me some..well..shackle mounts

. I recessed them just a bit more than the RC ones I’ve seen. Then I moved the hoops to the rear so now I’m 1/10th the way to having a Tremor!!

Looks great!!! You should sell those. How much if I send you a core?

Michigan side of Lake Erie...the picture does have a mild edit to help with the washed out sky (so the water color hasn't been altered), but when the water isn't muddy (which it is a lot during the spring with rain and run-off) it does have a pretty blueish-green tint to it, although it's never crystal clear like the Caribbean can be.

Here's a different angle, un-edited. You can see the mud-line ahead of me.

What I wouldn't give for a fried walleye sandwich right about now!!!
My pop lives on the other side of the lake near Mentor just east of Cleveland. I've heard the lake is at an all time level of cleanliness these days. One day I'll have to check it out.

Definitely do. Chunk that walleye up and beer batter / fry it up. Some more cold ones to go with it. Not much better you can do in the summer up north here.

Loved the little bar down the street from the Twin Cities Assembly plant. Neon Walleye in the window. Get a cold one and pick out your one of three menu choices:

1 walleye
2 walleye
3 walleye

Sounds like my kind of place. To get walleye down here in Florida you pay grouper prices of over $20/lb.

That gulf grouper is nothing to sneeze at either. My must have when I make it down that way once a year or so.

Good stuff especially when you catch 10 or so pounds fileted. Suddenly the family all want to come over to eat.
