Or maybe you need a pre runner instead

this thing has changed a lot since last time I was on this thread months ago...coilover set up looks good. the brand new kings and fabbed diff covers are sexy.
can't wait to see it with a bumper, winch or no winch?

Nope, T-case is still out, he's too busy chasing poon tang to finish it...
its a big heavy medium duty truck engine , very reliable
its comparable in power, weight , and size to the C-7 caterpillar and the 8.3 Cummins "C" engines not exactly pickup truck stuff
Hmmmm, thats a reasonable answer to why it's not finished. Can't hate the man for that!

i wouldnt call that thing very reliable cause at work ones had the injection pump replaced twice in the past year
Any updates? I'm curious to see the final outcome.

Been driving it the last 3 days,
tonight I went ahead and got the panhard mount and coil over mount on the passengers side cut off and made a new mount out of plate that incorporates them both, way more surface area for the weld too and it looks better to boot.
couple of possible directions,
1, found a set of fenders, grill, and doors for a nice price and they are off a 06 and already white in perfect shape, I know of a few perfect beds. So about a 1000.00 gets her looking perfect.
option 2 is doing fiberglass prerunner front fenders with a 4-6 inch bulge and putting on a white 06 dually bed i found and swapping to a 20 inch steel wheel and 46 inch xmls. To do this the truck goes up about 4 inches and i loose my damned square swampers that have me pissed. Bummer is the added hight and weight.
option 3 is continue wheeling till it falls apart or gets on its side and the cab is trashed..if this happens i would like to get a 2008 cab and do removable fiberglass front and rear..
option 4, is prerunner front fenders, a flat bed in the rear and rear removable fiberglass fender that mounted in custom stake pockets so its easy to remove and still have a tuff sturdy bed.
next is the t-case rebuilt, go through the drivelines and retube the dented ones, truss the rear axle, new rear shocks, bump stops, rock sliders, cage of some sort, and one day build a nice front winch bumper.
always something.
