Nagorb's build

Yeah I hear ya! Sometimes even now i wish i had gotten white, but its ok its really grown on me, and its different, not as many of us on here lol

 

True dat! we unique!

 

Gaps a little better

 

The truck is lookng good. good job on the bumper.

 

that gap is a big improvement

 

Thanks

Maybe but I didn't want more then a 1/4 gap. If it does rub oh well, too much and I'll have to fix it.

Thanks

 

Bumper came out pretty clean bro. Now you just gotta make a matching rear bumper .

 

Thanks, already planning on it, but gonna do skids first

 

Jeez your just making me do everything for you!

lol will do, though mine might be a bit different from what most people do.

Yeah I'll be doing it on a break hopefully, ours is really only for sheet metal and pewter, it should be enough but we'll see. Nothing wrong with doing with a grinder, just takes a shit ton of time. If you have a skill saw that would make life MUCH easier.

I would appreciate that thanks.

PM coming your way I got yo shit.

 

You should be able the set the depth an 1/8 or so depending on thickness, and just cut a slot, it'll be much faster then a cut off wheel and more precise.

 

Yep. and nice straight cuts if you set up a fence which is easy, all you need is something straight. I'ts kinda scary cutting metal with a skill saw but if you're careful it's fine, though miter saws fucking suck.

 

Finally getting around to starting my skids, just a quick template.



And this along with the rest of the axle should be going in soon, just have to check backlash, but don't have an indicator at home and didn't feel like going into work. Yes that is an e locker

 

Pretty jealous of the front bumper.
Whered your indicators go?
Did you wire em up into the corners?

 

Thanks! It was a lot more work then I expected. Still gotta change a few things.

I did blackdawgs blinker mod' was super simple.

 

So do you have a rear locker and skid plates now?

 

Skids, no locker.

 

How are the Hankook's working out for you?

 

I really wish you hadn't given me your input on the size you were totally wrong! Hahaha seriously love the size, im really happy I went with the 295s. I had to breast the shit out of the wheel wells and will eventually cut some out just to clean it up. But what I'm really happy with is as if now I see no need to regear. Went to play in the snow a few weeks ago, coming from sea level to around 7,000 ft loaded with camping gear, tools, recovery gear etc felt slightly less power then before. At some point I'll actually update the build thread but for now I'll just add a pic.

Thanks again for your help in deciding!

 

looking good!

 

Thanks man!
