Bob, I am working on it today. I'll post up some more pics later today.

Welcome to Yotatech Bob!

Just an FYI,
This is Bob's truck. He is stationed overseas right now, and is protecting our country!

Here is the front axle. All welded up and painted and ready to go under it. Knuckle ball gussets added, truss, diff armor, etc.



I'll update more this week as we move along. And, i need to get another camera for the shop this week too.

Its a pretty nicely machined unit. I haven't seen one of the grizzly lockers yet, but the Zip Lockers are pretty nice.

The front is actually done on this rig and I was able to push it out of the shop for a couple more weeks while I have some other rigs getting work. So, all that is left is the rear which will only take a day and the flat bed.

I am literally in the middle of another one right now too. This one is more of a street queen. 5" Springs, 3" Body lift and 38.5x16x15 TSLs. Its going to be huge.
