[QUOTE="the_white_shadow, post: 655000, member: 10112"] Thanks for the kind words gents. Lots of work done over the weekend. 1. AR400 skids are on the bottom and sides and under the oil pan. 2. Passenger seat is in and harness is mounted. 3. Doors are on and gutted. (No window glass and removed the vent wing) 4. Fenders are trimmed (Still need another inch or two as the tires still get in it) 5. Passenger bedside is mounted. Couple things that need to get taken care of before the shakedown run on Friday. 1. Trim back the sliders to match the fenders. (tires just kiss it when flexed and turning) 2. Install rear bumps. 3. Fab up something to keep dirt/mud/rocks from hitting me in the face. 4. Fix fuel crossover tube leak on the intake. (More of a seepage than an actual leak) 5. Bleed the brakes a little more. Pics from this weekend. The truck drives great. Everything functions as it should. Got it up to around 55 mph before i felt any vibes from the driveshafts. It tracked straight as an arrow. So far the spring rates and the valving in the coilovers from Ryan at Accutune are feeling great. Looks like a truck again.
