Was tired of looking like a method addict from welding upside down so the frame went on It's side today

is the trucks weight going to be drastically different than stock?

 

[rat49f6]

Yeah probably quite a bit heavier ... I'm over building everything

Truck officially has every bolt and nut off it. Fish plates are being finished welded in today. Zac is at the shop right now curing his senioritus with some paint prep on the frame. I hope to have it in primer the next day or two and paint by the weekend.

Ps anyone who doesn't get why a truck cost $60k swing by I'll show you how many bolts a sd has

I want to check this thing out in person when you get it all back together. I know how much work it is to take something down to a bare frame and start over with the suspension and I can also tell you that this is more work than I have in my Dmax. Mad props to the DIY guys, I love it.

Thanks hrt means a lot coming from a builder of your caliber.

Frame is pretty much stripped ... but now I found weld in tank bungs that I'm waiting on

The pass side air line is routed outside the frame rail so the exhaust doesn't melt it. Well I wasn't happy with the line straight thru the frame so weld in bungs with 90 deg fittings should make for some over kill bulkheads.

Hoping to still have some form of paint on the frame over the weekend

Let final assembly begin

 

[Stroked777]

Bout time to see a slammed sd, it's awesome that your building it in your own garage, am I correct?

 

[rat49f6]

Yes everything is custom built by me and friends

Update: its a roller again. ..

6 link bolted on, front control arms on, bags in, air lines plumbed and mounted, tank and valves mounted and plumbed ... All new bolts on everything
