I bent a piece of tube tonight. I also took some measurements for a fuel cell. I wonder how much that is gonna cost me.
Just a little crossbar...I still need to cut that piece of BIG steel out and put in a tube x-member
I'm going to tie it in to the piece above it with some smaller diameter tubing.
I'm going to mount the gas tank here above the upper link...(It'll be bumpstopped and guarded from the link)

I'm going to cut them off in the morning. Tonight I built a "mocked fuel cell" tonight. I also took dimensions on my cage.
I can't wait until January, my insurance will take effect and I'll be able to go to the doctor and have the pain in my gut fixed (March is no longer a goal: I figure I'll be out of the shop for at least 2-3 weeks for surgery )
It sucks cause I'm not supposed to pick up heavy stuff, so wtf am I gonna do, everything on this damn truck is heavy.

ah man, hope you feel better, WTF is right. I will keep checking on this thread. Can you give me any insights on a decent front bumper to support a winch. I've looked around and I know that ARB offers one, but who sells them? Hope you feel better man,

Great build, I just subscribed. Most of the stuff you are doing is stuff I will never do but I love seeing done. I did get some good ideas of your build so far and may steal one or two of them.
Now you have to tell us how you get $1500 worth of tires for $400 I would like to sign up for those discounts.
Just wondering about your tube sizes? I am getting ready to build a front and rear bumper tied together with a small exo. Also got roll cage, a pre build kit for the front that I want to use as a start for a complete cage.
What size tubes do you recomend? DOM or HERW? Ifigured I would use DOM around the bottom parts and HERW around the other areas.
Anyway take care of yourself and keep us posted on your progress, I can't wait to see those huge ass shocks mounted up.

Anything else???? I still have room on my Santa list
All I am asking for is a 5" full suspension set up with Tom woods drive shafts and a D shaft brake.
Of course if Santa really wanted to spoil me I would just ask for your truck................Once it is done of course

Winches(not necessary, I won't be getting stuck )

Tubing for bumper, shock mounts, sliders, cage(I'm figuring 5 more sticks)
seats(EBAY more than likely)
seatbelts(EBAY)
fuel cell (gonna build it)
dual rate kit for my coilovers ($95 per shock)
coils for my coilovers ($100-$150 per set, need 2 sets)
tabs to mount them(gotta get metal)
switches for e-lockers(gotta call Jim[Inchworm])
wiring(gotta call Jim)

driveshafts(whoever can build them to stand up to me)
