    Thanks man! Your truck is sick. I'm actually going with my buddy's company TNT here in Ventura. He wants to start making kits for 5 lugs

    interior is nearly done. Seats and harnesses are mounted, center console is in, and the radio still does not work... All i have left is to finish painting some things, and touch up the bondo tomorrow.

    started out building small things with oxyacetylene and arc welding like rails, and shelves at my college, then built a back bumper with kenny at KR fab, then my welding table and other shop items, then my own front bumper, then 4 more, then more projects for people I knew, then my own LT in the rear, and now this. I looked at a lot of different designs on the internet and in person and saw what I liked and what I didn't and figured out what would hold up better. I went for more structural stability but added more weight.

    Got my windows installed today. Front windshield for $150, and made my back windshield out of lexan.

    thats coming next, had the time to cage it and figured it was a smart thing to do instead of get the front LT and risk everything mobing it

    Just went through my old build. Couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the last date I posted was about a week before I met my wife. Shortly after I sold it and haven’t seen it since. If anyone has seen it around let me know, curious what happened to it.
