Welp, found out the rear 12 bolt is trussed and might have been set up for some sort of ladder bar or 4 link setup or somethin wierdd..

Finally took her out to stretch her legs a bit and she did good! didn't do anything crazy but got her a little dirty again and shes doin good! Here's some glamour shots..and yes, the evo and goat were out there with me drifting around having a ball (there are pictures if you want to see) haha...

Sweet truck man! I bet that exhaust sounds good! Hows that fuel pump working out under the hood like that? Good enough? Or going to change it at some point?

Thanks man! Haha yeah it sounds pretty beefy, I'll have to take a video next time I go out and throw it up. Fuel pump is workin out great so far..right up here so its easy to access, easy to change if I ever need to, pulls enough fuel, havent had any issues with it so I don't see a need to change it as of right now at least haha

Nice rig. Any further plans for it? Lift? Axles?

Thanks man. Definately gonna go with some 1 ton axles, still trying to decide what route I wanna go with the suspension but it'll get redone. Gonna rhino line the interior most likely, do a full kick ass sound system for when I'm out in the desert, some custom stuff, new bumpers, all sorts of fun stuff haha

Sweet rig. It's sure does have a tough stance.

That is exactly what I thought too!

1Psycho...looks good so far!

 

[1Psycho]

Thanks guys!

Think I've decided what I'm gonna do with the suspension:

-1 ton axles
-Good coil spring
-Good shock
-3/4 link setup

this should give me way better articulation and an almost true up-down motion out of the axle, getting the benefits of a coil spring and long arm which should give me an overall much nicer ride with the ability to flex it out or also go run around in the desert
