We're in TN is that being held at ?

 

Cherokee park....Morristown.

 

Got the wheels and tires today. Also bought a new grille, bumper, and valance and the primer. Tomorrow....we spray primer! Had to move the brake booster over towards the passenger side 3/4"...and now I clear. This is a 18x8 with a +42 offset....no clearance issues and sits in the wheelwell just the way it should....Aired up it gets 7.5" of lift in the front with stock(although modified!) control arms to clear the upper bag plate...Ill post a vid tonight. We set the bed on to check clearance and its good to go....

 

She's beautiful

 

Got it in primer, bed is on, compressors and tank are mounted. Back glass is back in and a new driveshaft oil seal and the driveshaft is in, gonna run a 4runner bumper/valance but a 4wd pickup grille and headlights...no offense but the 4runner headlights and grille are getting to be like lambo doors......3 weeks or less it will be on the road.

 

Video link for the front lift...again, not full psi, just checking things out, valves and fitting s be here this week.

Looks good. I totally get the 4runner lights and grille thing.

 

Where did you purchase the bumper and grille?

 

Body looks smooth!!!

 

There's a collision center locally that I know a guy who knows a guy so I get them all at cost...paid 250 for all of it. Grille, headlight doors, bumper and valance.

 

There's a spot or 2 that needs fixed. Doors are good to go actually. Maybe a little glazing putty here and there where we shaved th handles but otherwise its good to go.

 

I take it Lambo doors are out?

 

Hey, you guys showed me the light...lol

 

just went through your build and its awesome great work can't wait to see it finished

 

Dang brah!! She's coming together quick!! Going to sit down with the wifey this weekend and see if we can make the show. Would be nice to get some good pics and possibly some parts. Looking into getting some shop tools together too.

 

By any chance you going to minitruckin nationals this year?

 

wow, great work man! wish i lived closer to GA haha...

 

Alright people. Update time. I have been busting it every weekend since November and the end is in sight. The truck is all on its own air, its 95% back together, and the plan is for next weekend to finally fire the engine back up!

Here she is with the SMC valves, dual Viair 380s and 3/8" line.


After too many pictures with the garage in the background, I decided to roll it out of the shop today and get some sunshine on her....I laid her out and it was beautiful!


Rear view!


Now, this week, I need to get an electric fan, spark plug wires, oil, belt, antifreeze, a few things left on the interior, put the shocks in the rear, and fire her up for a test drive. It was just a few months ago we dropped the frame off in that shop, and me and my bro in law built this thing in 2 1/2 months. Wish me luck everyone that when I turn the key everything works out! Its gonna be alot to watch and listen for on the test drive...the engine leaking? Running hot? Hows it drive? Pinion angle seem alright? Are the brakes working properly? Clutch shift smoothly? Exhaust leak? Lol....hopefully the stars align for me!

 

looks great!!!!
