Nice looking truck you have. I have some great slammed trucks. Alot of those guys have alot of work involved and the various talents it takes to get them to where they want. i eventually want to get me another 2 wheel drive as they are better on the fuel and alot easier to get into. I dont care for having to hop up into a truck. Alot of what goes into the minis goes into the 4 wheelers. Looking forward to your build. One step at a time and you will get it to where you want it to be.I

Awesome man. My buddy that I grew up next to is into slammed trucks. He actually made an article in a magazine about 10 yrs ago with his lowered and body dropped ranger.

I love the look of a slammed truck
