got some work done today. Got the inner fenders cut for tire stuffage. Also got the rear shocks out and on the bench for rebuild. still lots to do before next tuesday, but i think I can pull most of it off.

before: pulled the shock so I could get full bump





after: got plenty of room now,had to move and make a bracket for the abs module for now. ran out of gas in the welder so thats as far as I got with it.

 

Hell yeah!

 

wow looking great! cant wait for the vids!

 

that's some tuck baby!

 

dang son!

do work

 

hell ya andy

 

Do work indeed. A full hard week of it left lol. Hoping to be done by mid day Monday, load the trailer, and relax some before sleeping

 

time to sweat my ***** off and get **** did...

 

good luck dude, i was about to go sit outside and drink some beers, but its so warm i'm still thinking bout it. ha

 

LOL weren't you guys just complaining about the cold?

 

HAHAHA the weather is sporadic as hell in the Midwest and East Coast. It's weird. 50-60 one day 80-90 the next.

 

I know I lived on the east cost for 20 years lol

 

well I lived, was pretty hot but I drank a lot of water. Got the rear shocks on the bench and swapped the shims and took out the bleed screws. should handle the slower speed bumps etc much better now. Just need to get them charged after work tomorrow. I'm also picking up a set of pretty much new 5-point belts, so hopefully I can get my *** in gear on throwing some seat mounts and belt hoop in.

off the truck

shaft out

rubber gloves are always good for something

shafts stripped and ready to put back together


ready for Nitro


Also worked on the Pass. side front inner fender clearance. Looks like I dont need to cut near as much, just some out of the front under where the stock air box would be. The Pass. side fender must be higher cause its doesnt even touch at full bump in the middle like the drivers side did. It clears by and inch But I like the smooth rolled fender that is there so I'm not touching it. which in turn means I can leave the coolant rez. pretty much where its at.

 

here are a few shots of some of the latest progress before the dunes trip

 

Thats awesome , looking good

 

How do you like the DBR Kit? Im debating between ordering this kit and having it installed locally and driving down to cali and getting the new camburg kit but need an opinion on this one first

 

You should box the frame too. I know having the bed-cage gives it more stability, but boxing can't hurt at all!

BTW... Truk nao lewx gud!

 

Love the kit, handles everything I've thrown at it.

Yeah I plan to box the frame and add more tube also. Would like to do fuel cell next as well.

 

Bad *** dude. Love the truck more each time I see it.

 

bad *** ride... keeps getting better

 

Any dunes damage?

 

still together. rear end cycles much better after the rebuild. the front I think needs some work. its a bit too soft. might need to bump up my comp. so It doesnt bottom out so easy off big hits

 

let me know when you give up and i'll come pick it up and take it off your hands for you.

 

just a little video mainly for checking out how my front and rear cycle. not any huge hucks or anything just enough to get an idea. I think my rear end is working good now, but I think my front end needs some more compression, pre-load or a heavier spring etc

Such a bad *** truck bud. I really don't like the prerunners as there are so many fake ones out here, but your's is built right. I think i have seen it on another site too, (or maybe this one, hell i dunno) and just remember talking about you having race tires in MN. lol. Love it man. Keep up the good work.

(PS, I also PMed you about the taurus fans)
