Tribaltalon's 91 dovetailed/bobbed pickup

So i recently picked up this truck, and am going to slowly rebuild it back into a little nicer truck bodywise. thats really all it could use, is a front bumper, some kind of a tire carrier in the bed, and bodywork. thing is freaking unstoppable. here's the mod list of what it currently has.

22re Motor
MC07 Dual cases w/ rear case 4.7:1 all MC. MC Dual t-case cross member
Hydro assist setup from redneck ram


Front end.
30 spline longs (with hub gears), Spool,5.29's, 83 Front axle w/ TG ball gusset kit, and Truss. Front and mini Diff armor plate. Also has Trail Gear 6 shooter knuckles &arms High Steer kit. LC Vented Rotors, new calipers, and 1.5in spacers.


Rear axle:
Trail gear Rock assault housing with large inspection cap, All Pro uboltless spring perches, Disc brakes, Spool, 5.29s

Suspension.

Front has built 84 Rears up front to match rear springs 3in lift. With MC SA Shackles.

Rear is TG 3in Springs. Bilstein shocks up front and poly performance BBCS out back,

Full interior cage w/ 4 point harnesses
LED rock lights
The bed has been bobbed 1 foot and dove tailed 2 feet. *The tailgate still works as well.

Tires are 38x12.50 TSL Sxs on 15x8 rims with staun internal beadlocks.












i mainly just want to replace the front fenders and add full doors for the wintertime, so that the cab of the truck seals up relatively well. its never been rolled so the cab is still in pretty good shape. i'm undecided on whether or not to buy another bed and dove/bob it to make it all look minty again, i think the dents add character. eventually i want to cage the rear and add a bench seat.

I like the big LED tail light

yeah its actually "legal", believe it or not. its divided down the middle, kind of like an aftermarket sportbike led tail light.. turn right, right half flashes, etc. i might bend up some filler plates for the factory tail light locations if i get bored. seats are just generic EBAY racing seats. pretty comfortable. notice the stack, yet? LOL

yeah, thats probably what i'll end up doing with the front fenders, havent had any luck finding a set that a junkyard doesnt want a fortune for. i did find a complete bed for 50 bucks, but the more i think about it, the more i think i'm just gonna break out the BFH.

I'm still in disbelief that i havent found anything jerry rigged or ghetto fabbed yet on this thing, it really was built up right.

the flex is so nice too.. i was thinking about linking it... but why?!?!

no, i got rid of the runner 5-6 months ago, i thought i wanted to get back into sportbikes. turns out, i'm getting old. too old for sportbikes. and i'm not ready to sell out and buy all the harley crapola, so i got back into wheelin'.

here's a pic of the runner, it was a pretty bad ass machine. too pretty for the hardcore stuff though.

this was on 38s..


and on the 36 inch iroks (rode SOOOO much better)
