How could it be finished? You haven't put the doors back on yet.....:haha:
 
looks good man alot diffrent then the last time i saw it...i guess you bought james wheels and tires...what all did you end up doing to it??
 
Uh lets see the front has -
6" TC EZ ride springs
6" shackles
zero rate with the axle 1.5" forward
Ford towers with 15" shocks
and some long steel braided lines
ORD x-over with a 1.5" tierod

The rear is

stock springs with 3" block
Kerts shackle flip with 6" cross tied shackles
Kerts inboard shock kit with 15" shocks
and a steel braided line

I ended up rebuilding the whole front axle, all the bearings and kingpins. My electrical is a huge pain in the ass, im going to re wire the whole truck in a week or so. Im going to put a cage in this winter break and hopefully do coils or coil overs in the rear by next summer. Yeah i bought james wheels and tires until I get my 40 Mt/r's. Ha and the doors are staying off until it gets cold again.
 
ha yeah no it will never be done, but its driving again. the boggers are 39.5x18 and suck in sand. i air down to like 8psi and they were alright but a bogger in no good in sand. but i did end up making about $400 from pulling people out.
 
Congrats! You are the first one (as far as I can tell) to accually finish your ride! This calls for ...somthing, I don't know this is new ground.:p:
 
What do you mean this is new ground? I've gotten mine finished dozens of times.:D

Protech, how did you make $400 pulling people out? These were other wheelers, or what?
 
Theres houses on the beach and the only way you can get to them is to drive on the beach, so all the renters have no idea what they are doing and get stuck. Its gets really busy, you can tell in any of those pictures but theres a ton of trucks and SUV's there. We dont charge anyone, just ask if they need a tow and most people end up tipping me $20 or $50
