Haha yea,been busy on it,got all the front stuff in but the steering extensions. Aaron is going to overnight them. I got the arms all painted and need to get the balljoints pressed in. The rear is done and would be on the wheels if the tards at adapt-it sent my the right lugs for my adapters, Should be here today though or tomorrow. Took the leafs apart and got my full droop and bump figured out for optimal upper shock mount placement. So now I'll start the bedcage today. Also had to shorten my driveshaft 2.5". I'll have some pics later today

 

ok just a few pics..then I'm back to work. I'll update more tonight

these ***** are so much bigger in real life




getting my upper mounts figured out..full droop,shock not extended but you can see my line


full bump,bumpstops removed. also can see where the lines intersect


clearance at full bump


rear ready to go besides cage and the damn correct adapter lugs!(should have been here today..so I hope tomorrow..otherwise it would be on the wheels)

 

Straight awesomeness!!!

 

damn dude

 

going to be bad ***
are those karteck drop hangers??
I have been trying to find some one to make me some that are longer like 3 or 4 inch drop, know anybody?

 

its all part of the giant 64" kit

 

wellllll i hit another awesome bump in the road..the world is against me. i was trying to fix a metal cover on the compressor motor and it flipped while i was pushing on it pretty hard and it got me between my middle and ring finger on my left hand. just got back from stiches though which was real quick. it split my hand about an inch or so, and pretty much as deep as you can get. i think i'm going to call it, i got spocked lol...

crappy cell pic

 

ouch, that's it! project is over

 

nah dude cant be! i gotta get er did! I'm havn a buddy and maybe my dad help too, help balance stuff etc. ideas are in my head just need a hand now. i can still weld and do most things but wrench hard with my left hand. that and its an akward tri-finger hand now with the su-fi finger in the middle

 

damn i hate when **** like that happens unexpectedly. keep it going!

 

im tryn! going right now to get my rear shocks filled with nitro

 

get it done! its almost there

 

Ouch man!

 

just got back from getn them filled, the guy was younger and really cool. he had just loaded up his badass jeep on 1 tons, 42's beadloacks, airshocks etc. and a new on monday mega cab dodge diesel. payed $10 a shock and he said stop by anytime and the next ones on him. so now I know I have a hook up for when I need to rebuilt my shocks. getn at the truck in the morning, not stopn till midnight!..maybe ha

 

haha sounds like me with my RCD lift -- shattered my ring finger last knuckle out in 4 places haha..

keep it going man! pics look good so far..

 

damn men that sucks! but atleast u get 1 helpers now! hope to see the truck running soon!

 

startn work now, wish me luck..im gonna need it haha. my hand feels pretty good today, and just a slight soreness in my sholder from my tetinus shot. gotta find a good way to wrap up my hand so I can work with it but not tear it or get it dirty.

here she is all fixed up

 

you got a person on your hand now..two legs and a ham wallet..kinda funny..you need to get a picture of that tho..draw a face on your hand...hah

 

lol... first time i showed a pic to my buddy online he was like ewwww dude you got a vag on yer hand!

 

Dude nice progress! And yes all long travel stuff always seems huge in person. Have you ever seen a 3.0 shock? I have once and i shat myself! Progress looks good this thing is gonna haul with the 5.0 in it.

 

just a few pics from progress today. was a long day in the sun and dealing with my hand, but went pretty good. For my first time working with tube,bender,and a notcher it went great I think. Tomorrow I'm going to finish the cage up quick and get started on the front end. I didnt get my new adapter lugs so I'm pretty pissed about that, Think I might have to find some cheap f150 lugs and cut a 1/2" off the top and make my own till I get the real one..cause I want to drive this thing asap before I go.


pics


still got more to add at the rear that will wrap around the tires etc. and finish all my crossbraces. then I'll setup the limit straps and the rear is good to go besides brakelines and attaching wheels lol

 

Looks great!

 

can't wait to see this thing
downey give u tetanus shot?

 

looks great! i want a bender so bad!

 

forgot my camera inside towards the end of the day but here are a few pics. I did alot of runnning around early in the day getting my rear brake parts, balljoint press and hardware for the shocks and limit straps. the hoops are welded in and right away in the morning I will start installing the arms and get it on the wheels!





and this was the single greatest sawzall cut I've ever made..comparred to the otherside I easily saved an hour of gringing. didnt even have to grind after I chopped it off!
