Sweet!

I love the fender trimming..

Any idea what size tire that is??

 

[Babaganoosh]

I sent him a message on instagram, hopefully he posts

Senorx let me know what you want to see, I'll and them over. The truck is linked front and rear all from ORD.
The tires are 35" toto Mt. Thanks ya those fenders took some time with a cut off wheel. It's hard to tell in that pic but they are also pulled out about 1" on each side

 

[camok5]

that thing is inspiration for what I want mine to end up like!

 

[ClassicStyle]

How does it drive with ord's 4 link front and rear? How much coilover is inside the rear?

I want to link mine front and rear, haven't seen anyone who has done both

[ClassicStyle]

Hahah. I stand corrected but your 4 link is a bit more in depth. And I hope to know how it drives before BB18

 

[Greg72]

@ClassicStyle, roughly 17" of the CO is in the truck. As far as how it drives, it has a lot of body roll so it took a little getting used to. It will three wheel motion if you try, that should give you an idea. It is not at all unmanageable though, I drive the truck at least once a week and even on the freeway ~75-80mph it is completely controllable. I have a rear swaybar kit from Ruffstuff that I am contemplating installing. Only issue I have is that I have spoken to Stephen from ORD several times on the topic of swaybars and he recommends that if I put a swaybar in the rear, most likely I will want for the front. That presents itself as a little more difficult than putting a sway bar in the rear...
If anybody has any suggestions I would like to hear them.

Thanks honkey, exactly what I wanted to know.

 

[MrDJ]

I'd try a Currie type sway bar. When I four linked my Jeep it felt like it could roll over on it's self at full throttle out of the hole.
Mounted a rear only and all it wanted to do was plow through corner. After installing both bars I was very happy.

Dang Honkey! Now you are giving me even more ideas on how to spend money I don't have. My cage bars would work very well for that type of setup. CRAP!! Can't spend money, building a house, I repeat.
