    I figured there is pics floating around now from everyone that has stopped by the shop in the last few days. Someones bound to post one so I'll beat them too it. :D

    Here is some cell phone shots of what's been going on. I'll be working on the truck all day tomorrow so I'll have better ones I'm going to try and get the rear sitting on tires by tomorrow evening.



    HA this part was so fun if you ever get the chance cut your truck in half it's a great feeling :laugh:

    Does this qualify as a clean title still? :p

    You have some balls. I couldn't do this to my truck. But then again it took me 2 days to change out my steering rack bushings.

    Keep us updated.

    Whoops lol. Definitely a good thing you cut it out then. I feel like I should get my frame plates installed already so that doesn't happen to my frame too!

    I vote for bobbing the bed 12" while it's off, and just getting a camper shell for a double cab. :cool:
