    No. Thats my fathers truck. What the airstream will be behind once its done. Frame is just next to it while i have @Muddinfun wheels and tires in my bed. Then the frame and rear end are going over to the shop to start sticking some steel together.

    Tigerfoam is expensive and a PITA, but it works really well for temp and sound control. There are a few spots i missed when spraying, but they are mostly behind cabinets or behind the body ribs.

    Didnt get nearly as much done today as I wanted. Had to put in a call to the VA to get scheduled to be seen for my back again.
    Anyway, housing is centered with the brackets tacked on. Made a back brace to fit, and mocked up the shocks/mounts.

    Back brace fully welded. Lower shock mounts welded on. Still need to cut and weld on the 45* support bars and the back straps for the link brackets. Housing moves nicely without the shocks on.

    Built the panhard bar/housing bracket. Started out as a piece of 2x4 steel. Center brace is a piece of DOM that I had leftover from another project. It'll get welded to the housing after I finalize the height.

    I'd pony up the $2k and get a lift. I love mine.

    I use mine for everything. If you got a bad back, there is another reason to have one.IMG_20170208_225437.jpg

    Welp, starting the process of building the frame. Right now, Im getting the rails square and even with the back half. A bit of a PITA since my nice jig welded backhalf has a slightly twisted front crossmember, but Ive got everything square up and level front-back/side-side/corner-corner.
    Ill get the front section on after I have backhalf and rails together. That way I can adjust wheelbase as needed.
