The Megamerc has a super solid frame, but the body is deteriorating.

Sorry been busyOriginally posted by mitymerc View Post
I’ve put about 50 miles on them
Tire size is nitto g2
295/40/18 rear with 1.25” spacer
255/45/18 front with 1” spacer
It does rub the inner fender on the driver side a bit on certain bumps on high speed but it’s probably because I still haven’t put all the bolts back on when I replace it with the 91 inner fender. Right now i haven’t really had time to work on it as much it’s currently sitting on jack stands from the rear. Been working to much with my new job. And been messing with my new to me 04 marauder. But Thursday I get out early so should finish and grease the rear arms.Attached FilesComment

I haven’t done anything major to my 88 mgm but I received my lower guage pod that I will be using. This it the one I am going to be using. Not finished I will be painting it same color as my a pillar pod. And here’s a few pic
Edit on first and second pic which do y’all think will would look better guages push towards the back or towards the front and closer to the ash try. Also it will need trimming if installed closer.Attached FilesLast edited by Elias; 08-10-2019, 11:52 PM.Comment

Look like the two would be more visible the closer you set the gauge pod towards the front.
nice piece. Will look nice and finished.
Way back when..... I used to run three gauges down there with the individual pods mounted to the ash try. The weight of the gauges over bumps would cause the ash try to fly open. Just stared using door panel christmas trees wedged in the back hinge to prevent that from happening.
Pic from 10 years ago.....
