Man, that truck is sweet. Sure wish I could have a bumper like that for my truck!

Good talking to ya, Rory! The anticipation is killing me, just can't wait to see what you come up with.

Folks, Mr. DesJardin is a super cool guy to deal with. Just putting that out there...

Thanks hyzerponix,
Super cool? That's laying it on a little thick, at least that's what my wife says.

irab88,
That's not a gas can it's a sippy cup, hello! Just looking at it that does look wrong, but it's a brand new gas jug never been filled. Clean and safe.

That thing looks mean with those fenders!

I also love the center console you had. Wish I had the skills to make something like that.

I think you're gonna have to take at least half of that stuff off before we go wheelin...You're gonna make me look bad!
Good work man, and like always, nice craftsmanship!

Still wheelin' it. Still want to add a turbo to the 2RZ. Need to install the chain drive case behind my crawl box and ditch the rear gear drive unit. Other than that its all good.

Nice rig, I'll be ordering a triple stick kit from you soon.

Why switch to the chain drive t-case from the gear drive?

Thanks
