hey man i've been to that shop, they're awesome... i don't think they're a chain store but i'm sure if you called them up and gave them lengths they could ship you something. Try to find a local hydrolics store, they'll be able to make you brake lines... GL

frame is stripped of every wire and line i could think of... now all that's left is the motor and tranny

sorry for the dark pics i put in new lights just need a few more

Chappy316 · 10-04-2005, 11:10 PM

that looks like a really cramped garage to do a stock floor in, but i have no room to talk... our project is being done in a 1 car, you atleast have a cluttered 2 car haha!

MiniTuckin' · 10-04-2005, 11:11 PM

no actually this garage could hold probably 6 cars its just got a lot of parts around there... me and my gf cleaned up around my truck the other day to get more room so now we have about 3 ft all the way around it

I am not saying I dont like suicides kit.. I own it. But It would feel alot better if I custom installed one

i kinda agree. i think if your gonna take the time to strip it down to the frame, and sfbd it, mgiht as well do a custom 4 link as well. not that theres anything wrong with the sd kit at all, to me, it just makes sence.

but either way, lookin good. cant wait to see this bitch layin rocker. looks sick as it is.. only gonna look sicker on the ground.

MiniTuckin' · 10-05-2005, 07:28 PM

dont worry guys i'm making a fully custom 4 link. The SD 3 link is sold hopefully already

AssDragginSdime · 10-05-2005, 11:28 PM

good deal.. trucks gonna be nasty man.. get that shit done!

MiniTuckin' · 10-05-2005, 11:37 PM

motor and tranny out.... while the guy is building my new frame i think i may suicide one of my doors.

but other than that i just plan on installing new firewall tubs and raising the tranny tunnel and floor about 2".

bnkrpt311 · 10-05-2005, 11:40 PM

thats gonna look badass when its done, first gens look so nice laid out. and what is this about a three link for sale? if you still have it or wanna sell it PM or somethin i need one so bad!!!

matrixbackman01 · 10-05-2005, 11:56 PM

lookin good

layinbody31 · 10-06-2005, 03:22 AM

wait did I hear you say "while the guy builds the frame"?

So you're not building it yourself?

JediSpam · 10-06-2005, 04:52 AM

looking awesome man. garage looks a lot better with lighting hehe

MiniTuckin' · 10-06-2005, 07:02 PM

yes i am building it but i'm having help from someone who has done this b4. I dont wanna make rookie mistakes in doing this and start driving down the road and it fall apart.

ah ic ic

don't want your truck to shit the bed, right

MiniTuckin' · 10-06-2005, 07:11 PM

yep... on top of that i'm not a top notch welder but i have planned everything from the starting day he will just be bending and welding the frame up. He tig welds at work so he is pretty good

MiniTuckin' · 10-06-2005, 10:32 PM

only 1 pic for you tonight... the heart and soul came out... now i'm just going to start cleaning up everything before we start cutting.....

thats cool. Welding really isn't that hard though, as long as you have the welder set properly. I guess maybe it just takes some getting used to.

MiniTuckin' · 10-07-2005, 05:50 PM

well i can weld just not as good as someone who's had say 20 years experience.

MiniTuckin' · 10-10-2005, 10:38 PM

couple new pics tonight... got the body mounts off... i'm leaving the front to go by for reference.

Chappy316 · 10-11-2005, 12:05 AM

thanks for the update man, but you gotta try and get us some brighter pics... please

MiniTuckin' · 10-11-2005, 12:10 AM

np... in all those pics only 1/3 of the lights are on i just found out as we were leaving how to turn on all 3 sets

layinbody31 · 10-11-2005, 04:06 AM

why'd you take the time to cut off the bed mount if you're building a custom rear clip?

4.3Xtreme · 10-11-2005, 04:46 AM

looks great bro!
keep us posted!

MiniTuckin' · 10-11-2005, 08:31 AM

i'm reusing the mounts

layinbody31 · 10-11-2005, 01:52 PM

oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok

hey, in another thread you said that you lay flat frame up front with your 20s and a stock spindle because you have the BYC arms, right? If so, what size tires are you running? If I could lay on a stock spindle with the BYC arms I might have to get some so that I could get a lot more lift up front muahaha

MiniTuckin' · 10-11-2005, 05:49 PM

ya i've got stock spindles, byc uppers and lower, and i'm running a 245/35/20... i'm also lifting about 6-7" high above the tire

2600# firestones in the front also

MiniTuckin' · 10-11-2005, 07:26 PM

building the new framerails tonight so i'll post later

dang....sounds like I need to get some BYC's and put my stock spindles back on. I'd be able to clear the tire by about 3" or so to turn if I got as much lift as you say you're getting

MiniTuckin' · 10-11-2005, 11:45 PM

ya i've got a pic when i had my 18's on drop spindles and byc lowers.
sorry for the dark pic its all i have

96dragginSdime · 10-11-2005, 11:50 PM

ditto I need to find some stock spindles to try

96dragginSdime · 10-11-2005, 11:50 PM

would my cup height be affected?

MiniTuckin' · 10-12-2005, 05:43 PM

yes i have a 2" upper cup
