Basik Built taco

and I finally don't feel guilty cutting up my newish grille....back to mesh

 

Hows the glare off those hood lights? I've kicked those around a couple times point out for floods, but I feel like they block view a little. Yours look a bit small though

 

yea they are the brightest smallest ones I could find...that don't cost a shitton.... ADV Monster 60's. glare isn't bad, just a little off the fenders, I got em kicked out a bit basically for corners and deer.

 

Ooooh.. dimple dies are secz



Looking good buddy. Did you weld tabs and bolt on the aluminum?

 

I was going to do that, but I drilled and tapped a few 10-32 holes in the cage, and used sum aircraft hardware I had layin around, perk of my job--badasshardware lol, looks cleaner when I have it removed for bed space use

 

Whats next?

 

Ah, odds n ends that I should address. Going to redo the front bumper to something much more permanent that I can tie an engine cage to. Then roll cage

 

Probably a good idea for you to protect that heavy foot

 

yea lol

 

Day one of new sturdy bumper

 

Moar pics prease

 

Same thing happened to me minus the ribs, lost a decent amount of hearing in one ear though. It'll heal up eventually the worst part will be the tingling sensation for about 3 years

 

Yea, I shattered my jaw bout ten years ago in a different wreck, took about 6 years for my face to feel somewhat normal lol

 

Yep it's been ten years since I broke the collarbone, only about the last two of those has it felt normal.

As with all surgerys, ghost itches are a BITCH. I made myself bleed when I had my ACL replaced trying to itch something that didn't really itch

 

haha yea itches are a total mind fuck, and then you itch it and it feels all goofy and next thing you know your bleedin' lol been there a time or two.
the life of bionic people

 

how much did muffler install cost?

 

honestly I don't really remember...it wasent a whole lot...100$ ish

 

this is epic @dcsbtaco

crazy good fab skills man! what all goes into building uppers?

not bad was just curious! Love the truck, just finished reading through all 21 pages haha

 

thanks! been a fun experience with this truck.

building a arms takes sum patience, there are a lot of variables you have to take into consideration. travel, steering, camber, caster, clearance, bind, and a lot of cycling the suspension to see how it behaves through the travel. I got another thread on here about when I built the long travel arms for this in the long travel section, gives you an idea

 

made some progress on the bumper....
