The rejected reject

Looks like the front of the frame is going to need some tweaking too.  The 52" springs up front are just a tad too long.  Strange that what a lot of other people have done to get 52" springs up front wont work on this truck.  Oh well.

So, since the front spring mount of the front springs had to be moved forward to fit the 52" springs... a little drop bracket action was also done.  Get a little more lift in the front at the same time.

Suspension is complete.

Bead locks are welded up also.

Transmission is in.

Time for the tcases to go in.

Tcases and shifters are in.

Up next is the crossmember/skid plate.

Lastly is to de-wood the "bed".

Then its play time!!!

it doesn't rust!  lol

I may just leave the "deck" alone for a little bit, until I can build what I want with the back end.

I just hope the wood doesnt crack when I start twisting it up.

I twisted it pretty good with no problems... It flexes good

Good to hear.

Other than reworking the bed area, which is put on hold, and mounting the 44s to the bead locks... it's almost ready.

Probably some fender trimming .

[Blazin40s]

Dang...looks pretty flexy
