90blueS10 · 06-29-2012, 04:13 PM

Its been 1 year.

Tuckin15's · 06-30-2012, 07:44 PM

Look's good mike.

Ryan, Jordan is gonna finish his truck before you do.

TRPLS10 · 06-30-2012, 10:28 PM

id be happy if any of them made progress

s10kid17 · 07-01-2012, 06:28 PM

Progress is what you ask for?

They're just shitty cell pics.

Tuckin15's · 07-01-2012, 07:56 PM

Look's good Mike!

Are you gonna flap disc the whole frame and paint it?

s10kid17 · 07-01-2012, 08:56 PM

I got most of the rust off the frame and POR15'd it a while ago. As for the welds I'm just gonna leave em because no one will ever see it. Its just a beater.

Tuckin15's · 07-01-2012, 11:24 PM

LOL, mike you should strip that frame and smooth it out brah!

s10kid17 · 07-02-2012, 10:30 AM

ah **** it, I dont have enough time. The cab still needs body work and so does the fender and door. Itll have to stay haha

Z06killinsbf · 07-02-2012, 10:31 AM

Bro-man, I need those bolt in notches, like stat.

TRPLS10 · 07-02-2012, 03:44 PM

i wouldnt grind on those welds.. keep it nice and strong.

s10kid17 · 07-02-2012, 10:04 PM

Yo bro man I'll sell you dem notches stat

s10kid17 · 07-04-2012, 04:19 PM

Little progress for y'all. The liner went bad in the welder so I had to order a new one. So I wasn't able to weld in the rest of the notch. I should everything done next week though, since I'm going out of town this weekend.

I've also been painting up some random rusty stuff.

Speedy2222 · 07-08-2012, 01:54 PM

you going to redo the top or save it for another time?

s10kid17 · 07-08-2012, 04:27 PM

Should just be in black sealer by the end of summer.

TRPLS10 · 07-08-2012, 08:13 PM

this thing done yet!?

s10kid17 · 07-09-2012, 10:28 AM

TRPLS10 · 07-09-2012, 05:58 PM

oh snaps!

s10kid17 · 07-12-2012, 12:06 AM

Should have the 4 link back tomorrow. 50 bux for powder coating! I also should have my welder fixed soon so I can get this thing finished and back to the body work!

Ratrod90 · 07-12-2012, 08:48 AM

Just found this and had to say bada$$

s10kid17 · 07-12-2012, 10:37 AM

Thanks man! So the powder coated didn't get it done last night, It'll done Monday unfortunately but they're only charging me 40 bux now. I'm gonna see if I can get the welder fixed today. Maybe cut out my rockers.

s10kid17 · 07-13-2012, 07:20 PM

Ratrod90 · 07-13-2012, 08:13 PM

What size rally's are those

s10kid17 · 07-13-2012, 08:25 PM

15s

Ratrod90 · 07-14-2012, 01:17 PM

Thanks caps and rings make them look a little small

s10kid17 · 07-17-2012, 11:29 AM

Soooooooo I'm still waiting on my 4 link... I have everything else done really except the brackets. I need some Ideas on where to mount my manifold. I have the two for the front in the cab but I really don't feel like drilling more holes in my cab. I was thinking on top of the frame rail under the bed on the right side. Then all I have to do is run wires inside and that's no biggie.

Like this:

New fittings (all 3/8 with 3/8 line now):

Some nicely painted parts:

s10kid17 · 07-17-2012, 09:49 PM

Alright boys n girls! I got some progress done. Should be drive-able this week!

So I'm assuming that I have to cut the bracket a little to clear the bag?

Tuckin15's · 07-17-2012, 10:34 PM

I would just to be safe.

s10kid17 · 07-18-2012, 09:14 PM

Got a lot done today. All I have to do is the brake lines, wire and plumb it.

My lens got fogged up from the humidity

Im afraid its too close but we'll see I guess.

oxsign · 07-18-2012, 09:37 PM

That is really close man.

s10kid17 · 07-19-2012, 10:29 AM

Well I cut 5/8in off on each side so Idk why its like that. I'll see if it rubs when I air up and if it does, then I'll drill new holes in the bracket and offset the bag a little.

gunther19820 · 07-19-2012, 12:09 PM

they shouldnt expand too much, it wont take you much PSI to get the ass lifted to ride height

Tuckin15's · 07-19-2012, 12:54 PM

If u get a little side side action you might hit the bag.

s10kid17 · 07-19-2012, 10:59 PM

Yeah we'll have to see tomorrow! Ill be driving this bitch by night!

Tuckin15's · 07-20-2012, 12:14 AM

littledevil4802 · 07-20-2012, 12:25 AM

everything looks good.

s10kid17 · 07-21-2012, 01:05 AM

They dont rub!! Everything worked out awesome! I drove it about 30 miles today with out a problem!

Chipride-slow. · 07-21-2012, 02:31 PM

Lookin good

Tuckin15's · 07-21-2012, 04:24 PM

Good man! how does it ride?

98lowerednewproje · 07-21-2012, 11:29 PM

Tuckin15's · 07-22-2012, 11:31 PM
