The upcoming pictures are from over the years of all the changes my truck has been through from the beginning. ​

​

2013-2014

​

2014-2015

At this moment I'm hating what my truck is looking like since it doesn't have all the proper parts on the truck to make everything look correct.
​

2015-2016​

Not much changed from this year. This is the year I moved from Kansas to Hawaii so I wasn't giving her too much love that year.
​

2016-2017 ​

​

2017-2018

Great looking build, just out of curiosity why did you chose to do fenders and a bumper before suspension?

 

I was new to the world of building your truck and thought it was an amazing idea... so it backfired horribly haha. Did absolutey no research and had no help from anyone...

Learned from my mistakes.

 

That's a nice build you got going! Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the final product, Aloha!

That thing screams mall crawler!

Jk man! Bad ass rig and build!!!

 

Scroll.....scroll....scroll.....scroll.....wo, dude, good for you!.....scroll.....scroll.......scroll.......

 

come to the dark side

 

Looking good!​

 

Thank you everyone!

 

Looks great! Was thinking about blacking out my rims like yours before you got the new ones. Thanks for the pictures. I definitely will be doing it at some point now.

 

Appreciate it brother

 

Did you end up using plasti dip for the stock rims?

 

Yea I did
Id recommend it if you'e not gettng wheels anytime soon

 

Good looking truck man. I know it’s random as crap but my dad lives on the island and sent me a picture of your truck last week.

 

Good to know. That is what I was planning on doing. Now I know it does look good too.

 

The most impressive part to me is the fact that you have built this on a military paycheck budget. Just kidding man, the truck looks awesome, the white bumper is sweet. I have never seen a plate bumper painted to match like that before.

 

Haha
You have no idea it has been a struggle
My son turns 1 next month so hes taking my money now, I'll be getting a 2nd job just to afford my hobby

 

That' actually kinda awesome haha
Thank you
