Sounds like your a prime candidate for a full rear tube frame

 

that's the plan

never been in a wreck, but if you look at the frame, it looks like a slammed the brakes in front of a big rig.

 

Ive had the idea before to cut out the spare tire holder/crossmember and do my own frame braces back there

 

most of the long travel guys have done that. defined also makes a bolt-on brace the goes between the spring hangers, and ties into the existing x-shaped cross brace (can't hang the spare tire of course).

 

I saw that, but im not sure if it would work with an aftermarket leaf pack like the OME one, as they replace the shackles

 

has nothing to do with what shackles and springs you are running, as ong as the shackle hangers are stock. longer shackles (that they sell) just put more lateral load on the hangers, which is why they made the brace in the first place. but it can be used without them, and still serve a purpose.

 

I'm hanging in there... Going to the chiropractor three times a week, doing better with the visits. Some days are still sore but mostly good. Wonder how I go about pushing for total loss.

 

Yea if they cut me a check it would definitely go towards a V6 Lol

 

So guys I wanna put some LED lights inside my cap on a switch so I can just reach in and turn them on and light up the bed, nut i don't like the under rail lights look. maybe just attach them to the roof of the cap, front or back. will be great for hunting season. Anyone seen this, or have ideas!? Would just hook them up to my Aux fuse panel is my thought .

 

I got you. Here, work with this guy:

i guess you would just ask that it be totaled due to frame damage

 

Just picked up a center support bearing(carrier bearing) now to find time to do it

 

Yay

 

You could have been riding shotgun with me if you came

 

Ive told that to a few folks too...

 

Well I sure if given the choice between riding with me or you he would've been in your truck before you finished the sentence

 

You can't handle the

And, i had to work

and house/dog sit for family friends

 

If you were with Joe, i'd have most likely stayed with you guys.

I don't want to bug Craig with all my drooling and gawking at his truck lol


Past is the past, it comes down to me prioritizing things the best i can. I sure don't want to tear up my only mode of reliable transportation until i'm in a job where i can regularly afford these expensive hobbies. We'll wait for one to line up with all the stars and i'll make it happen eventually.....i don't want to be the guy that says he'll come to meets and never shows up.

 

Had to mop my own up after seeing all those trucks in person and after being suprised I didnt break anything on my truck
