[derekw123]

He got the a pillars on today.. My favorite part is how tight everything is..

 

[derekw123]

Work that got done today.. Also Thought I would say this is going to be a three seater when its done...

Will have airshocks heims and link stuff on Tuesday. Thanks to Brandon At Rides..

 

[mitsokid]

thats going to be a badass rig. Any idea on how much weight you will have in the back?

 

[derekw123]

not yet I know Im runnin 18 inch sway away air shocks but the end weight I have no idea yet..

 

[mitsokid]

hmm I'm trying to figure up the weight of my truck when it's done but I'm finding it to be difficult cause I keep changing my mind. I was going for a truggy build similar to yours but decided to keep the front mostly stock with flares and I also decided to keep the rear frame with some serious reinforcments and building a tube structure around it.

I'm trying to find proper spring rates for the 4-link I want to do

 

[derekw123]

Ok we were trying to replace the headliner just couldnt get to it from the inside so this.......

happened...... LOL

Just kidding but now u can see why we made the back the way we did.

 

[4wheelBUM]

DAMN!!! i hear you Derek... better watch Ben with that plasma. lol That things going to be badass man! Looking good.

 

[derekw123]

LOL Yeah I know he said it would go back on after we were done.....
