Looks good man, I like the stealthy rear steer lock out. Good use of the high lift steering box

Thanks!

rizzo

the axles are upside down because the holes in the bottom side of them line up wih the leaf spring mounting holes, i'd have to drill the top of te case to get them to mount up top. so i can just cut of all the stuff on the new underside of the axle.

Ok back on the subject of paint color. What do yall think of blue and white two tone? Blue from the door handles down and white over the top of the truck with a small pinstripe seperating the two.

Or

Gunmetal grey and black. Black from the doorhandles down gunmetal top with a red pinstripe seperating them...

Personally I'm leaning towards gunmetal/black...

Gun metal and black.

I still want to see it before it gets scratched up.

SnailMail · 03-13-2007, 08:34 AM

go with gunmetal, and how does the stearing work?

Works great! Its a crossover like a 1:1 trail rig would be and I got the drag link flat enough that there is ZERO bump steer! I'm kinda debating putting a tube/flatbed on it instead of the HL bed... I got the WB just barely too short and I don't like the way it looks.

Leaf springs suck!

You suck! You only mock them because you don't have the patience to build them.

FrankyRizzo · 03-13-2007, 12:29 PM

Has nothing to do with it. I think that they look cool but still suck.

I'm not exactly competing with it. I'm thinking of flatbedding and linking the rear anyway...

KRAWLR4life · 03-13-2007, 02:03 PM

Looking good! Keep up the good work!

dieselfuel · 03-13-2007, 02:10 PM

Thanks!

Ok now for a harder decision...

Highlift bed or truggy rear end? I'm thinking about linking the rear end coilovers or 1/4 elliptic and a tube rear end...

What do yall think?

mudplower · 03-13-2007, 10:08 PM

gunmetal gray on the rockers and black on top

looks great. i love the wheels

dieselfuel · 03-15-2007, 02:01 AM

Well its now 4 linked with 1/4 elliptic sorings on the rear end... Just steel springs for now, ill cut up a perfectly good set of diaz springs tomorrow. Still full springs on the front, just quarterlip on the rear. I'm tired, goodnight rcc...

Imagine if you will, a four link setup and two, half leaf springs hanging from the chassis. At the other end of those links and springs, there's a tlt axle, which is no longer upside down.

My computer took a **** last night... After I get back from minnesota I'm buying a laptop. I'm done with that piece of ****.
