    Well im gonna be back halfing the truck sooner than planned but when the opportunity knocks you answer. I talked my buddy into scrapping his yota cause he doesnt want it and cant even sell it for 500. He told me he was gonna put it up for 250 and I told him to scrap it and ill take the back half and whatever he gets from scrapping it ill make the difference of 250 up. So itll be getting cut off in the next week or 2 heres a pic of the back half

    Trucks in storage now but still working on her. Got the engine about ready to fire. Hopefully going to start it up today or tomorrow we'll see how it pans out. Hopefully I'll have an update with a video

    Well I haven't touched the truck in awhile I moved away and left the truck where it was but moved back and started working on her again. I replaced the old 2500 Firestone bags with slam re7 and it won't lift still. Bag is located in wrong spot so onto new projects.
    Here's 170psi in the bags

    So decided I'm doing a cantilever just need the heims and bushing still

    you'll be much happier with cantilever. I felt my truck was more planted and so much more comfortable than over axle setup.. plus so much more travel.

    Well finally started working on my truck again. Bought a house in December so been working on that and my 2 yotas at the same time. Had to scrap the cantilever wouldn't work so notched the frame and plated the top so it finally lifts and lays out on a 20 in the rear. Decided to cut the top of the door frames off and weld them to the body and going to suicide the driver door.

    Still have side windows. They'll be either remote power or I'm gonna cut the inner lip and have the glass seal like a frame less car door
