dezert mobbin, Budget Ballin Build!

Already on it Had yesterday off and got the motivation to finally do the coil-bucket gussets/double sheer uca's. sorry bout the shitty pics.





Left to do:
-stronger bed supports
-weld/plate my cracked core support

 

get on it


hahaha just kiidding. little more piece of mind with those on huh?

 

ya definitely makes me feel a little more confident in my truck after every gusset i've added

 

so i solved the cracked core support issue, wanted to make sure it didnt happen again so went a little over kill... engine cage




Cage has tabs to hold up the radiator to relieve the weight on the front core support. Also goes down and supports the coil bucket. Tubes run up near the cab so they are ready to add onto the cab cage when i get the money. Very happy with how it came out. front end should be much more solid now. Credit goes to Sean over at AZdirtworks. Does great work for a great price! and quick!

 

Nice. Since you have fully fabbed spindles. You can probably bump off the upper spindle bolt. Connect some tubes to the engine cage get a 2" Bump.

 

hmmmm ive already got 2" bumps

 

There you go!

 

need to post some updates. Got lots of miscellaneous stuff that needed to be done. ill try and post picture updates tomorrow. Also got a nice mig welder at my house now so expect to see a lot more updates soon

 

Some minor updates:

-Got a mig gas welder
-gusseted radiator tabs
-made a cross brace to keep my bed from bending in the middle
-Added more bedside supports









Welding cart set-up.


Random pics.

 

Having a welder is sweet hey?
Looking good

 

Yeah it is and thanks man

Had a little night run at sycamore last night. Little jump we took some vid/pics of.

 

SUB'd to an awesome build. i went out to sycamore with this guy and a bunch of others and he took me for a ride.. He convinced me, without words, to go LT. i have been debating it but hot damn was it fun

 

do it. you wont regret it.

 

oh i will im just unsure when it will be because i have to pay for college and all that fun stuff. so it may be a while but hopefully before may next year.

 

Thanks man! Wish i would've gave u a ride through those whoops and some of the bigger stuff instead of just the wash. Next time for sure.

 

hell ya man ill be down as long as i got gas

 

Got some ammo cans dirt cheap and mounted them up in the bed.

 

Had some fun taking pics and beating up my truck yesterday

 

Some Jump shots:













I have noticed for quite some time that my bumper has slowly been creeping closer and closer to the bottom of my radiator. After smashing my front end a few more times, it was soo close (about 1cm) that i decided to cut it off and beef it up so it doesnt budge anymore
