TX big boi 6.0 is moving along nicely! All of the cutting/welding is done, frame cleaned and painted, body undercoated, etc. Now we can start assy!

Excited to see this build !! Hopefully i’ll be a kit customer of yours by July. Chris how about some details , lift height, rear axle specs, wheels and tires , spacers or keeping the 8x6.5 pattern. I also have the sliding door, not a fan of the hinge mod and cutting into the inner shell but will if it’s a must for 35”s.

Yep it's going to be a nice one! Going 8" on 37s, Sterling 10.5 rear, Stage 2 front axle with RSC upgrade and we'll be modifying the door for clearance.

V4 is no more! We ripped it apart Saturday, only took us 4 hours! Parts are already being spread out all over for different builds.

The boys opened up a can of whoop ******** on the build! We got springs Monday, they had the rear suspension done that day and the entire front end yesterday along with the t-case/shifter/exhaust/front bumper AND OBA! Now we'll wait for shafts and it will be ready for road miles and a trip back to NY.

What are you going to do with the cab of the V4? Scrap it?

A buddy is going to rob some stuff from it and then yes, scrap.

The clock is ticking on V42.0! Finishing up the rear suspension, the upper mount got final welding today. We added more beef than V4 had even though it was 100% unnecessary. Axle is back out and ready for gears/locker this weekend, one more mock up for bump stops next week before it can be painted. On track to have this rig driving by 4-1!

Fresh load of machined steering knuckles painted and prepped to ship

V4 2.0s D70 got brake lines, working on the bump stops now and this weekend will be big! Lots to do.

V4 2.0s Dynatrac Pro Rock 60 housing arrived yesterday! Stoked. Got the extra width I need for better packaging of the coil overs and to get some turning radius back. V4s was bad with the coil overs!

Rear suspension n is 99% done, just a few pieces to weld and then it can all be ripped apart to be cleaned/painted.
