You are doing a great job. Looking better all of the time. That frame should last.

Looks like you are off to a good start.

bttrs

some 2wd flexing without an e brake having to leave it running in neutral to charge the battery.

looks good. what are your next plans?

bttrs

register it, rear shocks, interior/paint, rock sliders, front bumper. but that changes every day haha. here is a couple more.

bttrs

well despite the rainy weekend i still got some work done. first was a new starter



then came new rear brakes, never done any work with drum brakes before not as bad as i thought got it all don in a little over an hour.







then came a quick release rear bumper as i am way to high for inspection.



all welded up not super happy with it as it is a little lower on the left than the right but thats what i get for working on a dirt hill with low tires. whatever...



2 reese pins and its gone



next is the disk brake e brake kit from low range not totally done i still need a new cable





rear shocks are next my new ones are still on back order so i am throwing these in for inspection now, can you tell they are wayyyyyy to big for my truck? haha. welding that all up tuesday night



and the next project is my full size spare in the frame rails it is a 33/12.5 and it fits like a glove, never seen anyone be able to do this before so i am excited about this.







i am very happy it does not hang down at all below the frame. glad i thought about this before welding a cross member in the way.

old man emu steering stabilizer should be in tomorrow to, so what do you guys think????

bttrs

as you can see new bilstien piggyback shocks, and full size 33,12.5 spare under bed (i should be able to fit 35 under there)

bttrs

awesome build. I love your flatbed design. i would like to do something like you did with going up and to the cab. but be able to make it removeable when not camping. awesome ideas.

bttrs

thanks man, taking the top bars and rear support bars off is a plan of mine to, they only make round quick clamps though i am still figuring the best way to do it
