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...

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.

First drive wth duals!

Drove it for the first time today, slow is slow in low-low. Way cooooool. I had it in low-low backing out of the shop that was weird feeling giving it that much gas and it still going slow. This is going to be so awesome wheelin'.

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.

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
