This is taking so long!!!!!!! But quality does take time! I cant wait for the finished truck! Gonna be sweeeeeet!

 

your tellin me, Im dying to get this thig ready by this weekend. Theres an event happen at the mud hole i go to and if its there it will make the video for sure.

But i dont know if its gonna be done.

Waiting on 2 brackets from the water jet, They sent us the wrong bushings for the front leaf springs. Gave up looking for a used set of 12" springs and ordered 8" springs and a 4" block for the rear.

waiting on the CV joint for the d-shaft. Got to get the shocks all mounted up and the brake lines ran.

theres ALOT to do but i MIGHT be ready this sunday.

 

Come on man. I'm subscribed to this thread, and got all excited about it maybe being done. I was let down. I understand though, better to get it all right the first time, then rush and have to do it again. But you could of at least gave us a pic of something. Truck on stands, parts, etc.. Heck, rolling one of them meats through the mud and snapping a pic would get us our fix for a couple days.

Can't wait for the pics, and I hope you get to play in the mud soon.

 

i wouldnt expect it done any faster then a month for sure.

 

Sorry man, i should be heading out there this weekend sometime. Ive got to go pick up the 8" leaf springs and deliver them to the shop.

the truck SHOULD have been done ALONG time ago but weve ran into ALOT of problems with stuff out of our hands. Distributors sending the wrong parts, water jet guy never bringing the hangers for the front leaf springs (rear hanger) so those had to made in house. Still waiting on shocks should be in Monday.

It really should have only taken about 2 weeks max. But i had to wait for funds, then had to wait for the shops business to die down. Now we are on this project 100% still have to send the D-shafts to get extended.

Ill get pictures up soon. Probably by sunday

 

This really has been the longest 2 week build ever man. Been almost 2 months now!

 

yeah yeah... i know.

it will be done eventually.

 

C'mon Cecil, hurry up. We could've put the fabtech kit on your truck in a day.

 

and i bet i could have broke it the same day...

hell id try.

guys it looks like i might be running 2wd for a few weeks after i get the truck. Unless i can find a used NP205 to run dual cases. Im not paying 500+ dollars to have a CV joint made for the front d-shaft thats crazy. I can run dual t-cases for half that and have a 5:1 crawl ratio maybe even lower.

 

 

Dude, that's gonna be an awesome truck when your done... I can't wait to see some pics!

 

let's see some pics!

 

I agree!

 

bump for fun


get this thing done trimble!

 

This things gonna be as sick as a rabid wolf when its done i tell you what you finish and ill keep checkin in till its done
