Very Nice! Looks great. What are you planning for the rear with it cut out like that? Paint looks really good and I am very interested to see the look of it after some of the outer layers get scratched off in places. You do have a job right? I don't know where you come up with the time to do all these projects. |

Yup 40+ hours a week Havent touched this one since I posted it sadly. I really want to work on it. The 6x6 took me over 6 months to build because of work and school. Hopefully I can get this one done in time for Nats.

Finally got to work on it again last night  Made a lot of progress but ran into a problem early on (notice the steering) then found a solution |

Man, chopping the frame, that's hardcore. Caint wait to see what happens. I friggin love those narrowed Dirt Hawgs!!! Look like mini TSL's. I started to narrow and reduce some Mashers for my Blazer but it looks like I need to work on my technique so I'm gonna run the Hawgs for now like yours. |

It's looking awesome! I found a tail gate tire carrier like that for my Dakota. I love the look of those things! I photochopped this that is why the spare tire looks so strange.  Last edited by NickRummy; 08-03-2007 at 12:05 PM. |
