I was told they were Eagle alloys. But after some searching they are American Racing polished Python's that have been painted. The guy had them on his sas'd Dakota.

 

The back of your truck is a disgrace... Clean that SOB and get a bed liner.

 

I think that's probly his last priority... Besides its pretty much a wheeler at this point

 

If thats the case.. f*ck it. I wouldnt clean it either.

 

Ballin!!




...and for the haters. Hate Hate Hate!!


I do a lot of "thinking" sitting around the truck.

 

I think you do a lot of rhymes-with-thinking around it too.

 

Going to look sick once its done Matt!

 

Coming along quick.

 

My mom is in NC right now with her sister, want me to see if they can help you finish this damn truck already?

 

Can she torque a driveshaft?

 

haha I knew somebody would say something.

 

any progress?

 

2 weeks without updates!!! im going crazy!

 

Sorry, no real progress. Got a couple more parts but that's about it.

Still trying to get the caster to pinion angle right and keep it low.



Might pull the body lift for a 2" one. I'd like to take it out completely but I don't want to redo the sliders and bumper.

 

Dropped it down some and the pinion angle looks ok. Still trying to find the best place to tack this stuff up. But it's pretty close. It's gonna be big!

 

I can't wait to see this thing on the trail!

 

truck's gonna be badass!! i love fullwidths.
think you could measure how long the tube is on the short side? just the section between the pumpkin and inner c. id appreciate it, im trying to figure something out for my build.

 

For a second that last pic had me thinking I was looking at beard's truck.

 

Shes gonna be huge Matt.

 

It's about 2 3/4".



Dropped it down a little more so the caster is 4-5 degrees. Also picked up a hobart 140 today so I'm pumped about that. Gotta get a big *** drill bit for the driver side u-bolt and might get a smaller piece of tubing for the front.

Right about 48" to the back of the slot. The springs are 47" eye to eye so it should work well.

 

Got it pretty well figured out so I cleaned it up for welding. Gonna have the crossmember welded at work this week and then start putting stuff on the frame. Hopefully I can have it on its own weight next week.




Some guy wrecked in the neighbor's front yard while I was working.

 

He was probably staring at your truck

 

"Hey buddy, you can't park there!"

It looks good man. can't wait to see this done.

 

Sucks about the guy wrecking.

Hurry up Matt!! lol.

 

Got everything put back under and some of it tacked up. I'm gonna have a problem with that back leafspring clamp and the bolt on the inside after jacking the axle up. But everything else looks like it gonna fit well.
