I might, building a rear bumper and some tail lite mounts right now. Come on and help, got ribs on the smoker that would make Dans mouth water.

I cant tonight, got to hit me up on weekends

Built a little rear bumper and tire mount. Since the back of the truck is so light I wanted to move the spare further back plus give me some storage space back.

 

[250f4life]

I should have plenty of room to mount my co2 tank, high lift and quart crate.

 

[250f4life]

One more for the road.

Looks good deano.

 

[250f4life]

Precciate it man, I'm hoping to get to work on the bed this week. Pulling the glass and putting some fresh paint on.

Been in the shop lately getting ready for an axle swap and linked suspension. Have a set of land cruiser axles going in it. This will get me a high pinion 3rd in the front with a lot better brakes and ruffly 7-8"s wider than my mini truck axles. The rear end uses a 9.5 third member and some pretty big breaks.

On my last rig I cut torched/drilled/grinded/cussed/grinded/cussed. So this go around I order everything I needed from Barnes. I rolled the dice on a D60 truss
since no one makes one specific. It should center up nicely over the offset rear end. I also picked up a link bracket to mount the hiems horizontally.

The front is alittle tricky. I could have went with Hellfire fan knuckle ($800) which moves my steering to the front and makes it high steer. Well being I need Longfields ($800) also I'm opting for carrying spare knuckles and nice shafts. But to fix my steering issue I ordered an arm for a Right Hand Drive cruiser.. From what I read it should convert easily

Set the truss on there just to see if it would work. I think it's going to work out nicely.

Most toy rear ends the cover is welded on from the factory. But these have removable covers. Which I like so I can inspect things without tearing it completely apart. And let's you run a heavy duty cover, this one is from Ballistic

links? What happened to keeping it simple?

 

[VOLT]

What about the kewl rims?

 

[250f4life]

The kewl rims will bolt on these axles. As far as linking it. Leaves just didn't give me what I was looking for, plus a good set of those is outrageous.
