Forty Below Build- 01 DC LT Build

I bought a boat and a camper, thread is dead in its tracks until early to mid spring.

 

Lots of dust built up this summer. Few more weeks and weather should cool down. Get back at it.

 

Still waiting to see this beauty finished!

 

little peer pressure, cooler days and some beer. Things will start happening again.

 

Cut some holes in the bed for the shocks. Then lined the cut out with some plastic trim. I need to get a little more to finish off the top edges.

 

hurry

 

Gettin after it. How did you determine the mourning location for the shocks?

 

I wanted the shocks to be near vertical. I gathered from other members posts the vertical position is easiest for tuning purposes. I used a sharpie and some cardboard and traced out the arch at full bump and droop. Then lots and lots of cycling the suspension.

 

Cold as fuc this winter, mix in a kitchen remodel, and a new boat last summer. I’m the most worthless Taco owner.

 

ill buy it...

 

You already got a nice rig. What you want with my “project”.

 

to save myself from linking mine haha yours is already done

 

Sold it last week to a 96 year old lady. Looks like you will have to link yours.

 

Seriously thinking about selling this whole project....All of it... I never have time to work on it. Just sits and collects dust. Kinda sad to see it sit in the same spot day after day.

 

That's a bummer man, is it just simply taking too long to come together or have other plans come up? I thought you were close to completion?

 

It’s close to being able to drive around. Mainly job and location is taking up time.

 

So this happened.

 

Still got the 1st Gen build going on. Family needed a second vehicle, was shopping around for a little grocery getter and stumbled upon it. Rest is history.

 

I would take that for a GG anytime
