    Goodluck with the truck, color looks great! Pretty sure this truck has burned through the most sets of gears of any 2nd gen. Time to drop some coin into a 9" rear end or your going to be getting used to paying for new gears all the time.

    In regards to your two posts that mentioned getting the truck tuned, RJ had the truck tuned by a very reputable and highly renowned shock tuner. I'm curious as to your thoughts on the trucks performance in the rough, what you think could be better, and how much better you think it can be?

    Looking good. Hopefully that wrap holds up well for you, I definitely dig the color you went with.

    Thanks man, yeah I figured since I burned through 2 in a month. I do want a ford 9 semi floater some day. I'm in way to deep financially at the moment so we'll see what happens later on in the year.

    I think RJ did a great job at putting this truck together and it was set up to his liking/riding style. For me it's a little too soft and way too much lash in the back. Rear bypasses need to be upgraded, custom driveshaft to match the travel in the back and bump stops need to be readjusted for starters. There is more but I'm only working section by section. The full write up on this truck will be up. Nothing wrong just want it set up to my spec

    I have full physical custody and we share 50/50 legal custody lmfao! Thanks man turned out just the way I wanted it to

    It sure has, I've never had a deep pocket to finish a build before and so fast. I sold my F350 turbo diesel 4x4 to help me finish this rig. I love this truck but I do miss pulling my trailer.
