It's coming together really nice man! I am proud of you for haulin' ass on this project. If i didnt have to rebuild my engine again, then i would be putting that money towards a solid axle swap too! maybe next year though. And wow! your axle sits pretty far forward now! I cant wait to see how she does when we hit the squaw ridge trail run this month!

NICE!!! I especially like how you didn't even wash it before you started the build. shows enthusiasm! lol. Mine literally went straight from the last trail ride to the garage before I started the project. You'll have to wash the truck for the glamour pics once its all done though

Looks great man! Your buddy laid some niiiicccceee beads! Im still jealous. I dont think I have ever seen an axle that far forward lol Are you using relocating plates or perches? And from that first angle pic it looks like you have a fullsize axle under there!

And I should have money a week from today (Wednesday).

I got a question....are you still running stock gears with those 35's? And how did they clear with the IFS lift?

thanks guys! and it could have been faster, but we took a couple days off

Rogue, sounds good. stock gears, but these 35s are worn so they only measure about 33.5". if you scroll back a few pages youll see how they looked on the ifs.

I'm really enjoying how after the sas you can refer to a 4" lift in the back end as ass sag. Keep up the pics, and grats on the progress so far.

It's refreshing to see someone actually do what they say they will do on the first page of their thread. Congrats man, you must be so excited!

Now get on those gears and lockers!
