Also here's a couple pics I forgot, my new leather seats, tripple sticks and one before I sold the 34 swampers and got 37s

 

Whats your wheel base now after turning the Ford springs around?

 

i honestly do not know, before flipping the springs the rear axle was at stock locating flipping them moved it back 7 i believe, front axle with the sas went forward at least 3, i think stock wheel base is around 112 so id say between 122 and 125 its longgg now

 

That's a sweet looking setup. Is that dual cases with twin sticks on the rear case? How did you get the other stick to be parallel with the twin sticks?

 

it's rory's triple-stick setup. the rear twin sticks are moved forward, and the plate they're mounted on has a hole in the middle for the 3rd stick to go through. to get it at the angle you see, you need to either heat/bend or cut/weld the stick.

 

That's a nice set up. Thanks for the info.

 

not sure who rory is is he from radesigns? thats where i ordered the tripple stick kit from. did not head up or bent the center shifter at all

 

some t-case shifters need to be bent, some don't. and yes: rory desjardin is the guy behind radesigns. i ordered a custom kit from him to "convert" my two top-shift cases to triple forward-shift levers

 

great company im very happy with everything

 

Great build! Glad you have motivation to make it unique!

 

thanks, and you nailed it exactly, i hate having anything anyone else has. unique is the only way to build. heres some updates i decided to run all new headlight wiring from the fuse box out because the factory stuff is so thin and i want to run hids. also i wanted to move the factory wiring away from the radiator support to keep it out of water and keep it clean. so i took two factory fuse boxes with wiring and created one long harness that goes along the firewall with all new headlight wires to. heres some pics, its almost finished just need to tie in the passenger side headlight and attach terminal box

these are the original leads that plug into the fuse box


these are the ones i made


new harness along firewall, box will be mounted right around there tomorrow




terminal box, four wires on the left are for the plug on drivers side fender well three on right are headlight high low and ground larger wire is the power feed off alt.

 

my new RTT

 

decided to start the storage box today and monsta line the floor.

here the start of the box all just basic angle iron, the fronts are furnace sides i grabbed from work. worked perfect for this, small opening on the driverside is going to be expanded steal for venting because the compressor will be in there.





then i sanded a ton, stripped off any lose peaces of the factory "heat shield" (most of the passenger side) and monstalined

 

finally everything mechanical is done, registering the truck tuesday. next thing to do will be straighten bed and redo latter rack to add RTT

heres a couple little flex shots, front shocks and seats have been installed since pics

 

Update and one pic. Trucks registered and driving everyday now. Tons of power from rebuild engine with header and the 5.29 gears it scoots right along very happy with everything does great in the woods also

 

Awesome pics...awesome thread!!Whats a RTT? Im assuming your tent?? Im in the process of getting a nice tent too, sick of crappy ones.

 

yep, roof top tent

 

Looks great man. The liner on the floor came out great.

 

thanks everyone, here was today. pics dont do it much justice but you get the idea, lots of sharp pointy rocks

 

Here's the most recent. Also coming up on a week of sleeping in it
