Starting a completely generic and no 1:1 vehicle relation front shock, coil and panhard setup.
Shortened up the front lowers a tad as well.

Shock and coil bucket looks like you took it from my truck - 2014 F250 with Carli suspension using 3" king shocks.

J/k (sorta), nice work as always.

I plan on tying the coil tower to the shock tower with some flat steel.
Also, I didnt want to buy new shorter shocks but may have to if I want to drop the shock hoop lower to the coil tower. Cheaper to just tie them together and keep it movin.

I found this on the internets and kinda copied it. Running dual shocks now after setting the coil towers will require some cutting and rewelding of the shock mounts. May or may not do it.

Not much. Truck will be on the back burner over the next month to make way for other builds.

I have gotten an Exo trans with a Blue Monkey spool tacked in place. Angled due to interior.
Shock hoops redone
Also, got the CMS roughed in.
Up next will be losing the scx skid and mounting up a transfer case.

I may have to borrow the idea of using the exo "trans" with a spool in my tow rig. I'm going to run a 2:1 ratio, centered drop transfer case for a 1/14th semi anyway.

Seems like having the panhard bar mounting being on the opposite side of the servo will cause binding, wont it? I'm sure you've cycled the suspension and all, but just looks weird. :P

I was trying to keep the trans as small as possible without spending $150 on the Bulldog setup. Just grabbed a super high turn, cheapo motor to offset the lack of reduction.

Total screw up on my part. Wasn't paying attention, lol. I will probably fix it before too long.

Got the bed mount tacked in on the rails, bed and hitch ball mounted.


Mock up pictures. Still alot of work left to do, ignore the crazy ride height.

Thanks a lot guys. I litterally just make it up as I go with some google image searching inspiration from time to time.



Cutting out light buckets out back now. Im only getting a few hours a week right now to work on trucks, so it's slow going right now.
