    That is awesome.

    How long did it take to complete from start to finish?

    About 6 months of working on it hard for a couple weeks at a time, then taking week long breaks out of frustration lol

    I'll never build another truck in my driveway if I can help it.

    Hmm... mine will be at 5 weeks this Saturday. I had no idea that it would take so long but the geometry, fitting, re-fitting and double checking everything before you finally burn it in takes a lot of time.

    Yours turned out killer.

    Thanks man, I wish I built mine in a shop setting. Just didn't have resources to pull it off. It was for sure a huge learning experience and Im glad I got that out of it.

    That's an excellent photo. IIRC, you are running 2.0 12" CO's?

    Also, does your front drive shaft have a double cardan at the TC?

    I'm still fiddling around with completing my truck. I hope to have things sorted out by the end of June.

    Good work!

    They aren't beadlocks, just regular soft 8s with rock rings I made and welded on

    Is your cab that close to that rock or is it just how the pic makes it look at a distance:eek:

    Awesome pic.

    If you went to the trouble of welding the rings...why not going with bead locks?

    Actually, bead locks are bit quite overrated. There's a lot that can be done without them.

    I'm sure that was one scary situation!

    Yeah, beadlocks are so expensive...plus it is a pain in the ass to assemble the whole thing the first time around...plus having to keep an eye on the torque of a million bolts frequently, etc.
