Finished tubbing the cab to clear the links. Body mounts were moved almost 2 inches inwards. Starting to build bedcage and extending frame back out. @Hank did great on the tube work

Well, here is the update for the thread and those not following the stores on IG. Made a huge push on getting this truck done the last 2 weeks. Today is Monday. Hoping to drive the truck down the street and on the trailer by Wednesday. Driving out to Colorado on Thrusday 4/22 and then Moab with Trevor and the Washington folks for a week. It's been a mad thrash. Both @RaceTruk and I have been working our day jobs and then on the truck from 5 to midnight every night and all day Friday - Sunday but it's coming together.

Need to pick up one more fuel line for the EVAP purge line, brake line fittings, and two more AN fittings for the Shock Resivours. Then button up the last bit of bolting on parts, plumbing, and wiring. Then on to building a quick and ugly front bumper just to get it to Moab.


More tubs and bumpstop mounts

Posting this a little late. Got the truck down to Colorado and Moab for the trip. Ran a good amount of trails, not too many issues for the break in run.
Bent slider on passenger side pretty good from one hard drop off a ledge. HREW tubes do not hold up. Previous owners built them, in process of being new ones with @Hank for both our trucks.
Suspension needs a lot of work and tuning. Bypasses made ride too stiff, took them out for the trip, didn’t have time to pull them apart before leaving.
Dual Tcase needed to crawl better. Manual trans needs a driver mod for sure.
Going to be finishing the rear end of the truck with trunk compartment and spare tire carrier and get bedside mounts build are next on the list
