Yes, I plan on more armor and a tire carrier plus a bed build for camping in the bed. I built it to use daily and wheel/camp on the weekends. I have a trailer if i need to haul stuff. Stay tuned...The build may slow a bit but its far from over.

Thats only 1/2 true. My truck has been paid off for a long time buti dont have cash for everything i want on it. I think that would take the fun out of it....As fun as this build has been its been stressfull and if i had to do it over again i would have left it smashed up for a while and painted the body and then took a weekend and swapped it on in a week. It was the plan but after nate flopped it i couldnt get the doors on...Oh well its almost done and better then ever.

The truck is running but not driving. I have some stuff to button up and finish before its going to be trailered from my shop in FtCollins to my buddys shop in longmont for a windshield install and a few other little tweaks.
