The first image had one and i just wasnt a fan not mention any rear overhang will definitely get smashed at the size this will be. Trying to be "realistic" with fitting something this big on trails haha.

Fwiw I'm running the full length unbobbed bed on my Tacoma and I can count on one hand how many times I ever got hung up because of it, and usually it was due to my poor line choice. Cut the bumper up high and run some tube around the bottom of it and drag that bitch all over the SE!!

End use Is a goal. But man that render with the bed is sexy. Build it nice looking either way your gonna raisin that body on a lot of trails. If you start out sexy at least it was like the young girl once, 😂

You can also add the tone ring to the diff.

Id seen some mention of 14 bolts with tone rings but wasnt sure of the compatibility.

Just run a sterling rear (10.25/10.5) already has a tone ring and as customizable as a 14bolt.

That was my thoughts. But i know the 14 bolt is marginally stronger so it is under consideration
 
Use AI for your ideas people! This stuff is pretty slick!

Im bouncing back and forth at the moment between leafs or single triangulated 4 link similar to the moms spaghetti f350. I like the idea of air shocks and being able to dial in height and spring rate. But still need to do some research on them to see if they would be ideal for something this size.

Oh Mom's spaghetti is a bad rig. Dave makes some cool shit. Any plans to pinch the front?

I'm thinking you might be able to go with a 91 or earlier speedo gear and sensor and pick up the transmission signal from there. It's been a long time since I've messed with any of that stuff, but I know people would put sensors on the driveshaft to do it, or even just run without one entirely. This suggests there are other options too:

Thats definitely an awesome option! I figured it needed the vss for the shift logic. Not sure how it would behave without it. Possibly just shifting off rpm or pressure? Thanks for the link!

Tell me more on the how to if you have time. I could use it for customers.

Pretty simple but better results if you pay for the extra prompts. Im usually limited to like 6 pictures a day on the free options. But the better your prompt is the better your picture will be. The more reference photos you can supply the better the render will be. For example my original "vision board" was 100% prompt based and not 100% accurate to my goals but close enough for getting the image out there. Once i used a vehicle as a reference and prompted, i was able to fine tune it and have a more realistic real world render drawn up. And just needed to add "remove a bar on the roof rack", "keep the same stance but increase tire size". Oh and always be polite to our future ai overlords. Please and thank you go a long way 🤣🤣. Ill attach another prompt i did using my buddy's k5 as a reference for a truggy build.
For both of my examples my base prompt was simply "Use this k5(bronco) as a reference. Add rear doors to make it a crew cab. Keep the rear tire as close to the cab as possible while allowing full articulation of a 40" tire. Keep the body style as a squarbody (80s ford). Thank you."
Then as each render was made i would add on. For example my bronco i used the prompt "take this reference and show me what it woild look like with an exocage and tire carrier using the red lines as a reference. Also a stinger bumper using the red lines on the front as a reference." Then i just fine tuned aspects i wanted or didnt. Theres whole videos on prompt engineering that i would like to look into to get better outputs but this is a great start for someone just slinging ideas out there.

Tossing the idea. If i did it, it woild only be slightly. Honestly trying to limit "real" body work as much as possible.
