Back from the dead!

That looks like a GM of the month rig to me! :waytogo:

Maybe we'll be calling him "Mr. March" pretty soon. Actually that's way too ghey.

(Really I only commented so I could subscribe to this thread and see all the before and after shots. Keep 'em comin'!)
 


Those bumpers are looking good on there! :thumb:

Here's the full circle of my K5:

Unfortunately it never made it that far and it ended up going from the above to this:

Great thread guys. Awesome rigs.:waytogo:

I will add the Clydesdale....

The first pic is when I first got it in 2001.

Second is how it spent the last 10 years or so. Light wheeling, daily driving, etc.

The third is how it sits today. Currently rebuilding (started in Oct). Will have tons, 35-37s, crossover steering, some interior restoration - door panels weatherstripping, etc, and new paint. After that it will be better-built than ever, but will be more of a light wheeler/expedition rig. Really just like to wrench on it and take my daughter camping and stuff.

4" and 33s? Sure ive seen it before, just makin sure. love that look though.
 
They're actually 35s....until you use a tape measure.

Yeah. 4" springs in front and an Echobit (remember those?) flip in the rear. I've almost ordered an ORD or DIY flip a few times, but really never had any problems with the Echobits.
 
Only have a few from when i started rebuilding it.
