Here's an update for this rig. Chico sent it out to me so I could build a flat bed for it. Should have it finished up and on it's way home tomorrow. Also made some sliders and tweaked the bumper a bit. Enjoy!

Need to do some finish welding, add a couple of tubes to finish the look and make the tool box. Shouldn't be too hard the mount the interior back in. I left some of the cab where it was mounted before, or you could use some shoe goo between the door panels and body, maybe. I had to do the cap mod to the rear shocks since the shock hoop sits up a bit. It would of looked funny with them just barely sticking through the bed. Also, you might need a little stiffer spring or heavier oil since it added some weight back there. Toolbox will be made from aluminum so not to add too much more weight. It will basically be just a cover for the electronics box.

How's the bumper look? I made new brackets to raise it and then pulled the ends in some. I think it looks much better.

That's a good shop, but it really caters to the go-fast crowd. Still, you can find some cool stuff.
