OFFICIAL Photo Thread for Superstition Meet!

i'm assuming you're planning on boxing the rear of the frame. trail gear makes a kit and it's cheap and will save you time. i used it on my truck, i also used their rear frame rail gussets. nice stuff

Yeah deciding if we are just gonna cut the plates or order the kit. 150.00 is kind of worth the money to save time.

Was thinking about emailing to see if they will sell just the plates since I dont need the other tubing and BS.

 

yeah, they were worth the saved time. i went ahead and used the tubing anyways... came with it, why not..?

but if you dont need it then yeah... save some money

 

True, im sure I can use it somewhere. Just thinking if I can save a little shipping and such then might as well try.

 

Amazing photos!

 

ballistic fab sells only the plates for boxing, about $90 for 3/16"

sweet! ya you are going a bit further than me with the caging, I'm keeping my bed a while longer to keep the weigh back there.

 

dude, i still have my bed and wish i had more weight back there. i was thinking about running a dual spare set up cause my truck handles so much better with the extra weight back there, but my leafs can't handle it and they will sag like a mother over time...

i'm going to move the battery to the bed, that should help some

 

Yeah Im going to running dual spares and dual batteries back there plus will be swapping to a fuel cell after I cage the cab (priorities). Im thinking ill have enough weight back there since there is going to be some plate work in the cage as well so I have a cargo area or something like that.

When I took the bed off to drive over to the shop I was amazed how hard it was not to spin the tires when driving. Never realized how much of a difference that bed made cause it definitely isnt the over-abundance or power that the 2.4L puts out haha

Oh and thanks for the info on Ballistic Fab. Ill order from them.

 

I have this huge bumper holding my spares currently and still looking for some more weight back there. My plating is coming in today. I'll let you know what it is like. I'm trying out the allpro 50t pack. I've heard it's strong enough to support a dump truck. I might be pulling out a few leaves. CJ you have a build thread so we don't trash the photo thread?

 

I was thinking about 50t but got my f67's brand new for 400 with some shackles that I sold for 80, how do you say no to New deavers for 320.00?


No build thread on here yet, just CT but even that one I never updated.

Ill see if I cant throw one together on here, didnt really document anything well and my trucks been through a ton of stages.

Not exactly at superstition but it's in the background. Hopefully we'll get a lot of good pictures this meet.
