Backyard -- hopefully today it will go in :)

 

Nice progress. You planning to bob the bedsides or anything?

Yeah they are pulled in a bit. Tailgate area will be about 25-30" from my measurements

 

Just curious, how long has that truck been sitting on jackstands? I think ever since I've been here your profile pic was the same. Maybe I'm wrong

Great progress though

At my house on stands since September. Since I drove it..October of 09

 

that back end is looking great!

 

thanks -- dude I want to finish up the rear links and get the shocks in but I am STILL waiting on my ballistic order..I placed the order September 22nd..and I still today have NOTHING from that order..and have placed like three orders with them since then and have gotten those..Its the joints that are on backorder..

 

man thats so lame. waiting for one little piece like that that is major sucks.

 

Sometimes that's the trouble when it's the best product on the market. Sucks it's taking so long. Have you called them?

 

can you just order some crap ones the same size and use them for build up and then swap them out?

 

Ive called em because my last order I called to make sure it wasnt going to be 3 months til I got it..and they had those laying around..so I asked about the other order and they said oh we will get that out in three days..which they didnt so I call back and they give me the same story, free stickers, discount codes blah blah blah..so its not horrible..BUT its not like I have nothing to work on the truck, there is plenty of other work..id just like to finish up one project on it before moving to the next..

 

welcome to building trucks... i battle that all the time. jumping from project to project because you dont have the right parts.

I wouldnt order crap ones, just keep bugging them and waiting. They are worth the wait.

 

Well I got one of my orders from ballistic on Friday. I placed the final order with them on Thanksgiving and already got an email saying stuff is on backorder.




tire should be here Tuesday I hope. I just ordered one complete corner, I wanted to make sure that everything will work before I finalize the front or rear. Didnt want to dump three grand down when more DOM and coilovers still have to be bought...but thats all the updates eyes got

BTW -- the blue is just primer..I needed something to throw on it so it wouldnt rust and thats all I had at the time..so dont think thats the final color

 

Paint that rear cage! Lewks gud dud!

 

lol yeah shes getn a tad rustay. hell just paint that blue too.. i like it

 

subscribed.

 

hhahah -- I wanna paint it but I still have to add a lot of tube and dont wanna have to weld through paint or grind off paint to make it work..imma pull the cab off once everything is done to wire wheel prime and paint it all..at that time the body panels will be at the body shop getting a nice fresh coat..

 

You plan on gusseting that upper tracbar mount a little more???


GB :)

 

I wouldn't think so. I mean, he is done building the truck you know.

 

Doesn't look like he's done to me.



GB :)

 

What's the ETA on this getting done? Not ******* it, just wondering if I'm gonna get to see it next fall if I come visit Brenton...lol

 

by next fall yes -- I dunno spring of 2011..been kinda busy at work with it being the end of the year, and it gets dark at like 5pm..im finishing up some small stuff in the front then the suspension part is done..then just gotta finish the front bob..then move to the rear to finish the backhalf, cage and bed panels..

but Spring of 2011 early summer id be happy with that

 

x2 Diggin the blue!

 

What a POS.




I think the blue looks cool, or maybe like a dark copper would be cool too.


LOL that went completely over your head. Obviously he isn't anywhere near done with the truck...

 

Then why say it? Just to be a smart ***? herpdederp
