To start off, the truck was introduced to me in October of 2020.

After paying the truck off, it was time to pour money into it. I have always loved watching prerunners and trophy trucks all over YouTube, so I figured why not give it a shot.

 

This truck has been through everything, including almost hydro locking the engine in summer of 22' (that was not fun)

 

After the truck being nearly stock for a couple years, I decided to buy my first set of glass fenders, which didn't stick around for long. One trip on the Rubicon and that shit sucked, dragging my truck through rocks was not appealing to me. I soon stepped it up to 6" mcneil fiberglass

 

A couple months later, I found a deal of a life time. Brand new front fenders and bedsides for $700 on marketplace. Drove to Fresno from lake Tahoe and it was officially mine. And of course I had to get long travel with it too. The truck stayed the same till late spring of 24'.

 

After realizing I wanna do cool shit with my truck, I bought a daily and dove right in. I bought a SUA from Travis flowers, and refreshed my front end. Fresh powdercoat on everything.

 

Flash forward to June 2024, this is how the truck sits currently. It's currently sitting at a buddies house getting the SUA and rear frame box kit installed.

After that, it's getting sent off to get the bed caged (back half?) in August.

It's not much, but it's gotten pretty far since it was driven off the dealership in 2020.

Thanks for reading

 

Alot of Work there....Subbed...

 

Getting prepped for hangers to be welded on, along with frame boxing

 

Just found your thread, definitely following along.

 

The force will be with you, always.

 

Frame is boxed and hydros are mounted.

Next is the SUA.

Pretty cool seeing everything come together, slowly but surely

 

Good shit dude

 

Haha this shits sick

 

DMZ SUA and dirtking frame box is officially finished

 

Back on all fours. Just dropped it off at our new shop.

 

Day dreaming over some king bypasses that are cerakoted. I think the anodized resi would look fuckin sick

 

Man those are nice

 

So close to putting my order in with filthy Motorsports

 

Currently collecting parts still. I've always wanted those URD catless extractor pipes, but when I was finally about to buy them they were out of stock.

Found these on Walmart for $40

Working on relocating the battery to behind the passenger seat.

Bump stops are in.

Goal is to drive the truck to KOH.

 

Are the bump stop mounts in the rear total chaos?
