got some big boxes in the mail this week. I'll post some pics once i get it all set up. Truck has been running pretty well. i have a ground issue for the IDM i need to chase but it should be simple. still have to do some gauges and change my traction bars into ladder bars as well.

I did take it to a local show and got a trophy a few weeks ago =)

Didn't you have a visor on the windshield?

 

[Skill_Kills]

Yeah. It needs a new center mount. Working on the line lock and ladder bars this weekend.

You consider a super single?

had these 4 tires from my 02 so spacers and duals was considerably cheaper. i made some fenders out of some range feeders from the farm. ill get some pics at the show today

 

[Skill_Kills]

Threw these on quick. I don't really like them but it's legal at least. Won another trophy today too

Be cool to make them look like a whiskey barrel cut in half.
Or a 55 gal drum.

I think 55 gallon drum follows this build a little better. If there was a wood bed floor or anything else wood on the truck the barrel would work, but since there's not...

 

[Skill_Kills]

i have some 55s around. ill have to measure them. still looking for some semi fenders though

Super singles old look bad arse. Sure would be expensive though.

[Skill_Kills]

yeah i got it done this way for the cost of spacers

 

[WILD_PHIL]

I completely understand that.

I think some old NASCAR tires would look cool and can probably be had for cheap, but you would need some rims to fit them. Or some old racing slicks of some kind. I wonder if the right 15" rim would fit your axle?

havent been doing too much with the 53 lately. the pushrod for my clutch master keeps coming out and breaking the little clips that hold it in :/
the plan is to put a rod end on the rod and a physical stop to keep the pedal from coming back any farther than it has to. Should be near bulletproof after that i hope.

Still have a relay clicking for the IDM, not sure whats up with that. gotta get the meter out and check the ground or something

 

[79jasper]

Look up clutch rod heim joint.

yeah i have the joint to put on it. the problem though is the clips that hold the rod into the master. they just keep breaking. should be able to take some angle iron and bolt it onto there somewhere to keep it from coming back i think.
kinda dumb how its designed but its probably better in an actual cab. the way my seat is kind of makes for an awkward feel on the pedal. 2 inches more leg room wouldve been nice

Should have all our corn planted in the fields tonight so i'll be resurrecting this pig over the weekend. gotta bulletproof that clutch pedal and rip those dang fenders off.

Got the drivers window all done. Really liking the stainless piece on top. Also, Vent windows suck lol took 2 hrs to replace all the rubber and getting it to work well again
