Cody's 2002 build "The Tank"

I'd prob go 3 link rear instead of 4. Especially if you want to keep the stock gas tank.

 

nah i already planned on doing an aftermarket. i'm going to mimic a lot of brocoma for sure. that's my fav 1st gen build.

 

i have a lot to update but unfortunately i only have one pic for now..

 

If you have a lot to update then you need to start taking pics and update us

 

the things are still in progress should be done by the end of wed at the latest!

 

so an update with a very few pics.

- made new winch mounts to move it 2" back
- 30" led bar installed and front kragens removed.
- regeared to 5.29
- new kenwood excelon x996 headunit
- made tiregate swing out
- picked up an arb ez deflator




flux core welds!



to stop the bed from bowing i added a plate from the swing arm base to my bumper and welded it. the gate only drops about an inch once opened but i believe it's from the bushings. it swings nice though so i'm not going to worry about it.




































more pics from the Land Between the Lakes trip:

Epic stuff, dude!!! Lovin the spare tire gate.

My favorite picture!

 

it is epic!
oh btw.. i beat the heck out of my truck on that LBL trip and didn't hurt my cv. i mean i didn't hold back at all.

 

lol Nice, man! The CVs can handle enough... just not at certain angles. I'm at 4 CVs now... lol

 

holy crap! maybe you just have bad luck lol

 

Maybe... but all my wheeling is also on rocks and I never back away form the hard stuff. Not as forgiving terrainI think... I'm learning to keep the tires pointed straight when a little throttle is needed to get up difficult obstacles. It's pathetic.......... lol

 

Your not locked up front tho like Silas is are you?


also..did you have 4.88s before the 5.29s?

 

ahhh i totally forgot about the front locker. nope.. i'll wait till my SAS to lock the front.

and no sir. i was at 4.56

 

Dang... That's what I'll need to switch too in a couple months... Haha

 

damn..woulda bought your 4.88s.

 

I like this one

 

sorry!

i will admit this was the first time i've wheeled in clay.. but those 37's still didn't show any mercy!

 

Damnit that thing is sexy. Gotta play catch up haha.

 

thanks Bobert!

 

This is a sick build! Nice work!
