Yeah it’s too fun not to use. I’m not driving it on tight tree trails though. Saving the cruiser for that since I have no desire to buff this truck again. Rock chips though...LT width stuff definitely flings crap all over

I know I’ve been slacking on updates. I’ve been busy with work, moving into my new house, and a few weekend trips. About 3 or 4 weeks back, I was on my way back from Bentonville (went down to wheel my cruiser down around rendezvous in the ozarks but wasn’t at Byrd’s for more than 20 minutes...

Yeah exactly. I drilled the spot welds on the corner light bracket and then used some ultra low profile stainless Allen head bolts that I may have even shaved down a smidge with washers and nyloc nuts. Here’s the only pic I could find of how I set it up.

Awesome progress! You may want to get the doors and more of the front end and hood on before fitting the glass if you haven’t already. I used those parts to like up the fenders as they aren’t exactly OEM quality/fit and take a little massaging to fit right

Awesome progress!

Not yet. I’ve been waiting on rear bumpstops to show up. They were “delivered“ yesterday to my street’s lockbox but I didn’t get them so I’ve been dealing with USPS to get the ball rolling on finding them.

First 3k miles on the refreshed truck are in the books. I went down to Arkansas this past weekend and got in a lot of mountain biking and took my dad in the runner out on a fun 50ish mile route through the Ozark National Forest. I only took 1 pic of it on the trip but took some in the city a...

How could I forget the awning that optimistically might only be used 1 day a year!

Back on topic, I spent a good chunk of this weekend out exploring some Of rural Kansas south of where I’m currently living. For navigation I used a mix of google maps for satellite imaging to get off the pavement and then Waze’s uncluttered interface to see where turns might be in the road and...

Hahahahaha some people man Yeah its a shame I didn’t just slap on an OME lift, an ARB front bumper, a roof basket with a hi lift mounted with quick fists (LOL), some rotopax, and receiver hitch mounted tire carrier. I would have been done so much longer ago. Now the fun part begins...Getting...

I don’t see your problem. This is a build thread, but there are some pics of trips I’ve taken it on but not having 4wd up until a couple months ago has really limited what I’ve done with this thing. It’s a whole entire process and I figured some would enjoy seeing the work and thought that goes...

I’ve got about a thousand miles on the truck now. The sound deadening was a great call And I can definitely tell that the random drone/noise from the cargo area has been reduced. I installed some 3M PPF on the fronts of the rear flares and the fronts of the front fenders last weekend. I still...

Looking forward to seeing a 3UR swapped into this one!

Well I put the first 100 miles on it while I was in town last weekend. I was really planning on being able to drive it up to KC, but with a lingering sinus infection and being exhausted I decided not too since it had some front end vibrations above 65mph... My dad is taking it to the local...

And I guess I’ll throw some pics up of my fabricated outboard shock mounts. The trickiest part was getting them to angle out the shocks so the shock body will clear the leaf spring u bolt plate. I also put a ton of effort getting the mounts to go as high as they could in the wheel well to...

A few. It was fairly simple and would have been a breeze if TNA Performance had not plasma cut them. Nate used laser to cut all his and from what friends had told me, everything was very professional and clean. I had quite the opposite experience...especially after being given the run around for...

Thanks guys! Can’t wait to get to driving it.The suspense is killing me

Well I finally got it out of the garage...unfortunately it went right back in. Refreshing so many things is bound to highlight issues that I didn’t know it had to begin with. For starters, the rear driveshaft isn’t too happy. Despite correcting the pinion angle when welding on the perches, the...

Thanks! They actually make a stripper for fiberglass. I used that, but I don’t recall it doing a lot besides kind of melting it. I still had to scrape it off because once it started melting, spraying fresh liner over that would be asking for trouble. I’ve been working 80+ hour weeks on my 1st...

Hugely productive weekend with my dad. Undercoated the body, wire wheeled/cleaned the entire frame and POR15’d all the frame welds/nooks and crannies that could potentially fill or have salt and grime accumulate. Then painted the frame. Reinstalled the gas tank, gas tank shield, exhaust and heat...
