since im not going to flatbed it for a few more months i decided to work on the bed a little.. idk, its probalby a lost cause but it makes the truck look less of a POS!! so i pulled out that big **** dent on the driverside where i hit a pole/gate and sanded, primed, painted....



i still need t bondo, sand, prime, paint the bobbed area!

 

looks great man, you can do all that stuff in the parking garage in corv. now you need to get rid of the drifting tires in the back!

 

I am so happyto see this project is still going

 

worked yesterday/last night, got the back lifted up and level with the front now!! then i did some testing and the rear is still smashing the bed. so i went and chopped the fenders more which makes the bed look SUPER SHORT!! but i like it!

BEFORE:




AFTER:

 

Wow I like that! Looks great!

 

man your truck is sick, i wanna do something like this in the future with mine, but you bed looks so funny, it looks like one of those little beds they put on 4door tacomas and frontiers, just turned around

 

dang man

 

im jelous

 

looks good! keep it up. when do u start the exo?

 

Man that looks good! Not much left of the bedsides lol.

 

Nice build. Out of curiosity do you have or can you get some pics of the shackle hangers/setup for the front? Thanks.

 

any updates on this beast?

 

Sick man. Just read through all 19 pages at work.. ( gotta stay occupied somehow, right!? ) And just wanted to tell you that that is a kick *** truck. I can't decide if i want to lift my ranger.. or go pre-runner or trail rig!? damn!
Hope to see some progress soon though!

 

Nice job man. Glad to see the truck is in your name now too.

 

any new updates? i cant belive i just read through all of this, my head hurts. The down side of project logs

 

I look at this thread rather often cause I'm a fan of the 'used' trucks (yours and Matt's in particular) and have come to the conclusion that you need smaller tires or more lift. Just doesn't look right. I think a set of 35's would be perfect.

 

Talk about a contradicting post haha.

Function > Form

 

I'm sorry to say I'm not a huge fan of the way this truck turned out. I like the swap, obviously, but I think as of now you have gone in a different direction than I would have. I'm not gonna sit here and critique your work though, as it is not my place. That is why it is your truck (and actually yours, not your parents LOL) and to each his own. As long as you are happy with it. Good luck with it and keep on truckin' :)

 

No cause I don't think his truck needs the 38's to be functional.

 

He's got plenty of axle and plenty of room for 38s so why not? They give him an advantage smaller tires wouldn't.

 

This thing is meant to wheel, not go hoggin at the mall. His truck is perfect. Low and wide

 

x2 Not sure what the rest of yall are talking about.

 

hahaha you guys crack me up! i need to post updates and get the pics up of the stuff ive been doing to it! standby...

 

i do like the truck alot, is built with a purpose

 

hahaha i would LOVE to hear what direction you would have gone with it, or what you would have done differently!! please, humor me!
