    Low and slow.. chopped up on 35s
    Radials are where it's at these days.. compared to bias ply swampers.. so much traction. Just not as rugged.

    A little closer to being a truck again all the time
    Rock rings cut, painted, welded and the 41.5/13.5/17 Pitbull rockers mounted

    Tires on the axles and the front axle rolled back under the truck. Now the 3-link can begin

    Only remaining pieces of the original frame. Part of the motor mounts and the core support brackets. Everything else is new

    Eddy and I both had a case of "Don't feel like doing shit today" yesterday. Somehow between 8am and 6pm this happened anyhow. Plus some work on his truck:

    Looking good this thing is a beast. Reminds me of a "mini" version of that truck Kymera Fab fours built, it has a similar shape with the flat bed. Good job!

    I need to get more recent pictures but this was a few days ago. Coils are set and it now rolls. I cut the stands off a few days ago but havent gotten pictures since. The fabrication is done for now and Adam and I go1.jpg 2.jpg t it to start up the other day. With Eddy leaving I'm giving up the storage unit when it expires in June and having Basketcase towed to the house. I'm working on buyin land for a house and my own shop now, and when that's done, work will resume. as it is, I'm about ready to hibernate for the summer. My shop will be the next major project. I have a contract on 22acres in Holly Hill SC now. HJopefully that all works out.
