It's Done! *ACTION SHOTS*

[MTMike]

Well, Poser shots, but it's done!

This is less than 50% flexed too... it's the best place we found on my buddy's land to get an idea of it, and there was some severe fender rub getting it there.

It rides like a damn Cadillac, and the turning radius is amazing with that crossover. It ran down the interstate at 65 like nothing. I'm VERY happy with it.

Thanks to everyone here who helped me figure out what would work best, Hellbent for some bushings & rear springs, and though he can't read it, a special thanks to my buddy Joe for letting me crash his place almost every night for 7 weeks and who helped me get this finished. Without him I'd still be standing around w/ my thumb up my ass wondering what to do.

What I have left to do by Tuesday night:
-Bolt in front driveshaft when it arrives today (Thanks Jesse! )
-Finish trimming fenders
-Try to get winch mounted & wired
-And a few other loose ends

that truck is awsome! I would shat my pants with joy if it were mine. It inspires me to get off my butt and start building!

Yup! It sits 7-8" lower now.

I didn't try any evasive manuvers at highway speed, but at lower speeds (~25MPH) there was considerable body roll with sharp jerks of the wheel. It's not a big deal because it's strictly a trail rig

Looks good Mike. Hopefully I can catch up with you next week at DR and check her out! Your truck is very nice indeed.

Yes, for sure. We'll definately have to meet up. My truck's pretty hard to miss
