    most are on 31s i think.

    But suspension isn't any cheaper really, or cages or motor stuff. Its still a 20-30k machine. Cheaper than a full on tube chassis KOH Ultra4 race truck? yes. But still not cheap.

    I think you should make a mess of the Reg Cab, kinda like AllPro did with their second gen, whether it be SAS or Longtravel.

    (I'd have a hard time cutting up something that's in such good condition, but it'd be cool)

    Nah the longer wheel base of the extended cab is better. And also totally not gonna ruin a perfectly tly good single cab haha I've already ruined an extended cab so taking it the extra mile won't hurt my feelings.

    All in good time. One nice thing of having all of the same truck is hand me downs are easy :)

    I have plans. But need to find a good place to be able to do it with the right shop. Right now the shop is great but I don't want to invest into as it isn't mine.

    Now I see why this thing was so cheap.

    It looks like a cow gave birth in the cab.

    I’d rip out and replace those carpets and seats. That picture looks like it smells in there.

    It looks like the whole frame, is assume they’re just selling the bed.

    Maybe not practical, but fun.

    Surprisingly it just smells like an old car. The bed though...

    My god.

    It's like the cow who gave birth decomposed right there in the bed. It smells terrible. I feel like I'm excavating ancient ruins there's so much crap in this bed.

    The only place that I found them was Amazon. But your going to pay. Everywhere else says they won't have them in stock again until late March.

    They are way nicer in person too. the pics don't help at all.

    Got the bumper test fitted finally. Had to cut off the one bolt that just spun on the nut and noticed the same bolt of the other side was already sheared off. I ended up drilling both of those out and will be retapping them once I go to officially put the bumper on. Going to take it and the bed rack to powder coat later this week.
