Incommando Posted December 5, 2014 Author Posted December 5, 2014 Isn't it amazing how well out trucks flex out..... I noticed your in Southwest Ohio.... you should try and come down to IVY Branch sometime and wheel with us. Live the truck... keep those pics coming. I have friends in eastern Ohio that run Wellsville almost weekly but their rigs are very built. Funny that you should mention Ivy Branch as we were discussing a spring run there for us mildly built rigs in a Facebook group just today! 240 miles/3:30 minute drive from me. But I will get with you when we go. it would be fun.
jbain Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Its funny you mentioned Wellsville.... I was talking to Donnie from Ohio OffRoad just today about planning a trip up there this spring.
Incommando Posted December 5, 2014 Author Posted December 5, 2014 Donnie Chambers and I go way back. For two guys who have never met in person...... I am on the "supporters" list on his website. It says I joined in 9/08 but that is just the date he migrated everything over from the original site. I forget when he started it.... He and Don Mills where who I was discussing Ivy Branch with on FB today. it was the OffRoadOhio group
jbain Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Right on.... We have a big ride on March 14th next year called the IVY Invasion or anytime is cool with me..... I love wheeling with other MJ's
Incommando Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I got my winch mounted under the bumper. Not a bad install. But I hated the silver fair lead hanging out front. I personally do not like chrome or shiny stuff. So I painted the whole thing black. Yeah I know I will have to repaint the rollers when I use them but that isn't too hard. I ran the connecter for the wired controller into the grille. Easily accessed and I have a spare grille if I decide I don't like it. It is at the top of the grille by the driver's side headlight
Incommando Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I have been able to go 'wheeling a ton so far this year. I made it through this the first time but got seriously hung up the second time. Took 3 Wranglers to pull me out. It looks so mild...
88whitemanche Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Nice! I'm loving the hidden winch option...
Incommando Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks. I didn't want to block the radiator and I like the clean looks of it.
husky410ohio Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I will look for your truck next Friday at Heuston Woods. I should be there at 3:00
Incommando Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 I will only be there Friday. I am parking trailers from 9-3. Hope to meet ya
Incommando Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks. I will need to re-do it all when I fix the cab and do the rockers so I didn't want to go crazy on it. But for $40 worth of paint and tape I am happy with it
Swampy Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I know its alittle old but love what you did with your manche. Surprisingly this is the firt time I read your build thread and am following almost exactly the same path... its scary haha. I swapping in an 8.25 with 2wd leafs in the rear. I got 4.5" coils up front I plan on putting 1.5" spacers on top to be at about 6" in the front. I am not sure if it'll make the truck sit level with the soa in the rear but we'll see
