It took me like two to three hours to mount them tires. I almost threw them out my window. My fingers are hurting today.

Whoever buys it can set it up how they want it. I just like to build crap. I know this isn't a set-up most ppl like around here, but the chasis is very adjustable.

Noticed I didn't install the sway bars? I took them pictures here in my office.

But it does have over 6" clearance.

Everything was around between $1400-$1500. (For everything)

I have about 20 combined hours of sanding and polishing in this thing. The only thing I didn't work on was the gear cases and axles. I polished the bottom plate, cantilever arms, outside of chassis side panels, mounting brakets, and bumpers. Basicly everything that looked like crap. I could spend more time but my wife is ready to hand me my divorce papers and toss my xbox 360 out the window. I hope I can sell it on ebay soon so I can start my next project. Maybe a scale or tuber. As you can see in the back ground, I'm a collector.

[quote=andrewmp6]sway bars are more for racing. I knew that, I noted that just incase someone noticed the the empty slots.


Everything is Jps including Rims.

Rims are 32's

I'm liking my truck more and more. It all came about an Idea, like a metal picture. I may keep it after all.

And why TF did they move my post. I was hoping on getting some pointers from the clod owners.

Fn Haters. Here I pay to post my pictures up and they bump my Post of the clod forum.

ill tell you why...because the Clod forum of the tlt forum or any of the truck specific forums are for TECH related threads...you posting up a few pictures of your blinged out Clod, WITHOUT any specs or anything doesnt do anyone any good. Thats why it was moved...If you are looking for a "readers ride" area...chit chat is the place.

Ok, Edited my original post. I was kind of in a hurry yesterday since I'm at work. Maybe you can put it back on the clod forum. :-(

After drooling over your clod (MY WHEELS ARE COMING THIS WEEKEND) I lowered mine last night Looks alot better and i hope it won't be top heavy like my ESP's were. I installed the sway bars as well and moved the lower links to the sway bar mount now it looks like my axel hubs are tilted a little backwards, Now I am gonna add spacers to the upper links to realign them square to the frame. have you noticed this as well? Also did you locktight all the stainless hardware to the chasssis? I have only dry fit mine at this stage and was wondering if I needed to do so.

Since I was planning on selling the truck all along, I did use locktight. But I didn't think it really need it. I'm very impress with this JPS chassis and axle system. I like to build stuff from Ideas. I had the body custom painted to my specs. The cross is from a Black Sabbath album cover. I would like to atleast get my money back. if not I'll keep it and pimp it out.

Post some picks of yours.

I want to see your set up on your links.

The height if for looks only. I'm not running it


I have it up on ebay, if someone buys they lower it and put smaller shocks or whatever they feel like.
