Night Eagle's kind of a build thread

Ya I agree it could have been a lot worse. It is still fresh. I still think that it is a dream sometimes. But I have also come to except it. It was bound to happen at some point. I am lucky it hadn't happened sooner, with as much as I have wheeled in the last 2 years.

 

Highway 7 and I-25, some call it Brighton some call the corner Thornton lol

 

Chicks dig body damage.

 

I know exactly where you are talking. I live 3 miles west of I-25 on HWY 7.

 

Nice! We will have to get together sometime, would love to check out the truck in person! Mine is still stock but I have only had it a few months, soon enough I will get going on it. Working on a expedition trailer at the moment so I can mount my Odin Designs RTT to it once that gets here

 

Ya we will. Just give me a shout. I am free most week nights after 430 and weekends you just need to give me a heads up.

 

Well I went out wheeling yesterday with @Squeaky Penguin on a couple of his secret trails. On the second trail this happened.



The bed protection acted as a ramp for the log. I thought I was clear and then ended up I wasnt. We ended up cutting the log so I could get through. Body damage two weeks in a row.



I said I wasn't going to pop the dent out but is morning I decided I would try and most of it came out. So it is not very noticeable now.

 

oops.

 

One little dent by the headlight and all of a sudden you're like "screw it, this thing's a beater"
Next thing you know, it'll be a flatbed with an exo cage

 

Hey you have to start somewhere and I figure right now was a good time too.

 

This arrived last week. Can't wait to get it installed and make my custom air box.

 

are you going to run it down alongside the tire to scoop up the water better?

 

Those are cool but they make me think of this a little.

 

Ya it is the start of my cold water intake.

That is funny but kinda creepy.

 

Did they use the same diameter tube as stock?

 

Ya it is stock specifications. They will need the whole drive shaft to balance it properly. I think it was a day turn around.

 

Didn't you get it with a slightly bigger wall thickness?

I assume that's what you mean when you're asking about diameter Andy?

 

No I dont think so. I rememberasking about making it stronger, and they said the next best step would be a one peace. But they say a one peace is only worth while if you have serious vibs from the rear end.

 

ok, one piece vs two piece. googled it, this is what came up.
