Your build has had over 2400 views, I don't think they all are from you. Great build. I haven't done as much on mine in 2 yrs.

Ditto. I've been watching this build too. Just because you don't get reply posts doesn't mean there's no interest. I like the badging too.

hydro assist

wanted to post up some of the hydro assist pics that i did. used a tractor supply ramhttp://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp..._____14345|14397|14400|28337?listingPage=true the mounts are 2 sections of 7/16" steel welded together, then 1" holes.***word of advice either get someone to mill it out or use a drill press*** also tapped the front cap and top of box. with an upgraded pump....seems to be working well but a lil slow...so we will see

with a 2" ram it will not be fast. but it will turn on the trail. here is a link to my hydro thread. I am cranking the wheel from side to side as fast as possible.

the build looks good. I like the emblems, but they are gonna get scraped right off if you wheel that truck.

btw GMC4w did u take any more pics of that update other than the lightweight thread..i.e. cage work?

Looking nice! You say you used an upgraded pump, does that mean you bought a whole new unit or you modified your existing pump?

i thought the front cap was too thin to tap?

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

ive done it its towards teh sides

 

[smalltowncowboy]

ive never done it but ive seen a few people do it. also seen a company that makes a new cap thats thicker and already tapped.

funny you should ask. I just snapped two pics today of the cage. I should post the pic of my fenders I took last year sometime. it will show you how it doesn't matter that its above the body line.
