  1. Going to hijack my own thread...would a brush guard and trailer hitch on the front/back of an early 90's pathfinder bolt into the front/back of my 98? Or did they change the frame around and such?

    LOL, they actually had a frame in the early 90's, thats your difference.

     

     

    As far as the brush guard goes, "no" the rear hitch I would venture to say "no" but I've not actually tried that one, so don't take my word for the hitch.

  2. yeah but correct me if I'm wrong but he only has a 2" lift at best. Thats not a 6" lift.

     

    So like I said, stick witht he 32's unless you want to cut a bit. Hell I could run 34's on the 2" lift, its just a matter of cutting a ton of fender (which I'm not adverse to)

  3. Again, I'm not worried about the po-lees. My tires stick out about 2" now but the police haven't pulled me over for that. If thats what you're worried about then you can get these rubber pieces that are like biga$$ weather stripping & you can screw them on the inside of the fenders. I did this once with an 81 Bronco that I owned (I out like 6" pieces in all of the fenders)

  4. Thanks for the comments guys. The pics of the drawinsg are just that, pictures (they aren't scanned in copies or anything nice like that) so they don't look as nice as they should but, ehh, I'm not too worried about them.

     

    Hey Simon, I have couple others of Charlie Manson, the Virgin Mary, Princess Diana & a couple of others that are on par with the Jackson one. I had more that I had done that I didn't turn in or put up here cause even I was way too offended (even though I was the one who made them), which is in itself pretty hard to do. A couple of the kids in my class didn't get the referrances to some of the poeple because it was waaaay before their time but my professor laughed to himself (a major feet considering he was kind of a crusty old guy). If I can find some pics of them I'll put them up.

     

    Kingman, I might be in Washington for grad school, so if your mom is in the state maybe I could out an installation together for her or something (I like to make bigass metal pieces that are site specific - made speficially for that location).

  5. Heres a piece I made kinda along the same lines as the ringlet things. It started out as 53 feet of square tubing that I cut up on the bandsaw & welded together. Heres about a midway point:

    And here it is pretty much finshed (I haven't decided if I am going to work more on it or not). Nothing touches any other part of itself (I know the pictures don't show that too well) & it weighs 378lbs, even though it doesn't look like it weighs that much

  6. As the title emplies this is what I've been into this past semester. This is not all of the work, this is just the sh!t I've yet to destroy (my professors are trying to talk me into not destroying all of my sh!t afterwards so I can build my portfolio & get into a nice grad school). For anyone who doesn't know, I'm a sculpture major at UNCG (about done too)

     

    These were made from about 5 or so steel pipes (courtesy free of the scrapyard) that I cut up into ringlets on the hydraulic bandsaw & welded together

  7. Not so much smarts from a mathematical or scientific standpoint but rather from a philosophical one:

     

    If we're all God's children, whats so special about Jesus then?... Merry Christmas everyone by the way.

  8. Why I got out before I got in to deep. I knew I wasn't cut out fo sitting through 4 years of lectures and doing worthless research and paperwork for a pretty useless slip of paper and a pile of debt. Took the remainder of my college fund and bought a house.

    I don't do paper work, I'm a Sculpture major... and I have no debt cause I pay in cash every semester.

     

    Marshall University 2001-03, Pre-Med (did not graduate)

     

    North Carlina A&T State University 2003-04, Pre-Med (did not graduate)

     

    University of North Carlina at Greensboro 2006-present, started out doing Pre-med sh!t but in Aug. of '07 (Fall semester) I changed my major to BA in Art with a Sculpture concentration. I only need 28 credit hours to graduate, after this semester but I can only take like 9-10 hrs a semester. Its not like it matters cause what the f*ck can I do with a sculpture degree? I figure I'll go onto grad school here in a bit & try to get a job working at a university somewhere as a foundry tech or some sh!t like that, so I can be left alone to do my artwork.

  9. Local utility and city govt made a presentation at my neighborhood association the other day. All the power lines and equipment are being upgraded. As part of the process, they have to cut 2 trees that are leaning on power equipment and regularly cause localized blackouts. They will plant new ones to compensate for the cut ones. But the morons around here are putting chains around the trees and holding signs saying,"Save our trees". Really ? You WANT blackouts when it's 100 degrees in the shade or 5 degrees at midday ? 2 new trees won't make up for it ?

    Hey Jaya, I have a pair of heavyduty bolt cutters & a bigass chainsaw, what say you & I go cut those 2 trees down?...

     

    Even if you move offroading to privately owned land that means absoluely jack squat in the US. Many people don't know it but here in the US there is a law that prohibits land owners from touching there land if the EPA deems it to be a sancturary for rare, indangered or migratory animals. Which means, if you find an animal, repltile or amphibian that falls under one of those categories then you're better off killing it & not telling anyone its there, so the goverment doesn't come onto your land & tell you what you can or can not do there. Which is a shame for both you & the animal. Most animals will adapt to the envioroment, those that don't are weak & die off. At some point in time we, human beings, will not be able to adapt & so we, human beings, will cease to be any longer & something else will take our place. Its called biology.

     

    Tellico was privately owned as well, if I am not mistaken, & Goddamned-aging-tree hugging-ignorant ass-want to save the world-hippies were able to get it shut down. Let me say this, I'll be damned if the goveremnt/goverment agencies or any law enforcement will come onto my property (when I finally get some) & tell me that I can't drive the hell out of my R50 on there or that I can't build a metal fordge on my own property or that I can't cut down a tree if I want to on my property (which I actually like a really wooded living area) or that I can't hunt/fish on my own property.

  10. I was pulled over by a police officer & a trainee back in like Jan here in NC & was told that I was supposed to have covers on the ones on my roof rack because I could only have 4 exposed lights & the fog lights in the bumper take up the other 2 after the headlights. He didn't give me a ticket & I've never put covers on them. He was a pretty cool cop, not like the other jack-tards I've come across before then & since then...

     

     

    in san felipe baja, you can run anywhere from half a headlight to 15 HID's - doesnt matter!!!
    you are right you can eve run with no light on

    Good food, good offroading, full auto weapons, the US dollar still counts for something, beautiful beaches & very little laws going on... San Felipe Baja here I come!

  11. Hey Boston (its Brodie btw) ill split the gas and ride up to DC with you, its about what 4 hours from G-boro? People said he moved, but he shouldn't be too hard to track down. I mean @!*% it would give us something to do. If he's too lazy to ship the parts, we'll just show up on his doorstep and be like "Yo we're here to pick up our @!*%." It would be satisfying.

    If I'd looked at my phone I'd seen how it was spelled...

     

    Anyway, that sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Right now, I'm mad crazy busy trying to finish a couple of sculptures that have to get done but in a month or so I should be good to go. I hope that he will get he's shart together before then but I'm not going to hold my breath.

     

    BTW Colby, other than Dan, the staff here, especially B & Pezzy, have been trying really hard to help me out on this but at this point I think they've gone as far as they can. B's on the west coast & Pezzy's a Maple Leaf fan so... I mean she lives in Canada, yeah thats what I meant... :shiftyeyes:

     

    And GG I agree, it all goes to rice when you get a Honda...
