    This rig is really amazing.

    Great updates, it is turning out great!

    Went back to read your build thread from the beginning and realized you have been working on this rig since 2010:eek:

    Bet it hasn't been easy on the wallet :D

    That is a pretty accurate assumption. I should have some more progress by the weekend.

    Transfer case cover finished with the integrated seat mounts.

    I found a set of the liquid sounds shallow mount speaker pods with a set of Kicker 6.5" coax speakers.

    Most importantly I started mocking up my Fox 14" coilovers. I had to cut off the shock hoops, move them forward about 2.5" and kick them back about 10 degrees. The lower shock mounts are from Artec and integrate to the lower link mounts. The upper shock hoop mounts are from Wide Open Design.

    I had a chance to work in the truck for a solid 3 days. I got the front welded out and painted. Both coilover mounts are done. The full hydro is mounted and the lines are plumbed. I finally finished mounting my last tire and torqued it to spec.
    I mounted the front grille and welded in the driver side seat mount.

    I should have a roller by the end of the week when I get my coilovers back from Brave Motorsports. I'm pretty excited. It has been a long time coming.

    Well the red truck is back to roller status. He started right up after 8 months, the auto seems to be working correctly, the steering is bled and the 3 link is 98% completed.

    Can't go wrong with an 85.

    Short test drive completed. Still a few things to check before I drive her in the street. Notice the tire shine
