Damn.... that window is awesome!

Thats a fantastic rig you got there. Why not get a factory rear panel for the tailgate?

Very cool, but I'm not a fan of the large oval hole in the front of a relatively square truck. It doesn't flow well with the overall design. Fantastic work, though!

I'll probably do that for now, however, for my senior project I'm going to do the subwoofer enclosure. It'll add just another custom touch haha

Thumbs up got a little bit more done today...

I added some fins to strengthen it and some channel to cover it up a bit...

That's a beautiful truck you got there.
Love the custom work, maybe some day mine will look like that.
Lucky no rust truck!!!

How did you get the fenders like that?

There use to be a truck very similar to this one actually here in Jersey that was sold not too long ago, this wouldn't happen to be it would it? Can I see pics of your custom fuel cell set up and rear frame work? You have a very cool rig here, I'd love to see more pics of what you have going on, I'm sure everyone else would too... great work!

dude - so far everyone here agree that you have the sickest rig - it will attract someone - make sure protect it man!

I was thinking the same thing...

looks like when in some hard core wheeling and when the rear flexes out some, that drive shaft is going to dig into the tank...



btw, just my onpinion, you should just remove those outter shocks on the rear end and just keep the 2 center ones; all those outter ones are going to do is limit your flex
