Kit's Build Up

That has to the sickest taco ive ever seen. That is my all time dream truck. Some day i will be able to afford to biuld mine like that... i hope

 

thank you everyone, lol made me laugh

This is my DD/ toy, Im not going to race this, its purely a Prerunner/chase/toy and the chicks like it to haha

more to come tomorrow, hopefully get the suspension tacked in and cycling.

Front is strapped at 16''
Im expecting 18'' out of the rear

 

AWESOME! Engage FTW!

 

Sweet build brotha!

 

today was successful. got the front and rear hangers tacked in, bushings and crush sleeved in the leaf pack and shackles. Mocked up the suspension and cycled it cleanly













Plated frame before and after front hanger


got the drive shaft back from J.E. Reel, that fit b!tchin.


set my pinion angle, and welded most of the u bolt eliminator kit from Engage (bye bye U bolts), enough to cycle the suspension, that was quite easy.

tomorrow I work, so I will only get a couple hours to weld up the hangers, finish welding up the u bolt eliminator kit, put the leaf packs back together and maybe paint the shackles if I have time.

bed cage should start on Monday, that should be fun/ interesting.

 

Wow man, you got a lot done, truck is coming along, looks good.

 

thanks bro, I had a friend helping me which really helps out a lot, even though he doesn't know how to weld and doesn't know how everything exactly goes on and such, but while I welded up one thing he was grinding or cutting out another thing.

 

Ya that helps when you have someone there helping, even if it getting you a beer haha, but this thing is gonna be bad ass, cant wait.

 

oh yeah, theres WAy more work to be done..

 

wow that truck is sick!! Can't wait to see the finished product and keep up the killer work

 

dam good work

 

The truck is on all 4s today. Tomorrow marks one week on the build, while going to school and work in between. The suspension portion of the build is done, just need to mount shock tabs, straps, and bump pads.
Bed cage starts tomorrow.






Sits level again.

 

looks better every day man. i cant to see it finished

 

Damn man, this thing is looking SSSSWWWWEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT

 

Your truck and my truck are gonna be cousins....

 

Cliff, Clean off your keyboard..

 

I meant the drool......

 

Agreed.

Being CA though, He might have to put the entire bed back on.

 

If you read the thread he is doing a bed cage, with glass fenders more than likely.
