Not sure on the bob length, because it has a pickup bed grafted on. If someone could post the stock length I could figure it out. Maybe from the back door's rear gap.

The allen bolts kick ass
Its been so dry I havent really just sat and roasted the tires for a few minutes though. Maybe this weekend Ill can get all four tires about two feet in the air

I did bend the top rear link of 2"x.120 into an "S."
Ive been trying and finally broke the factory sway bar in the rear and wish I had done it a lot earlier with as much flex as it was stopping

Ive have video from the second group of pictures to post if I can become cool enough to figure out YouTube

Fuel cell with factory pump and fuel gage! Cut about 1" out of the pump bracket and it worked great.





Much cleaner under here. Now I just need to bust that giant muffler

Sorry, no flames, but Im glad that its well recieved
Its bright to make the cover of a magazine, but not too "look at me trying to make the cover" bright

It did work! I need to get the busted glass out and put in some lexan. The switch has a lot of the "custom" body work on it

What are you trying to say?

P.S. a rollover valve or some sort of ball valve would serve you well on that fuel cell vent..

Looking awesome. Even more amazing considering the damage from the fire isn't visible anymore

Thanks!!

My body man did awesome, all I did was take up. He said that the pickupbed/ window frame move/ original body bob would be about a 200 hour job. . . . but they only took 150


All the switches, taillight, and mirrors are melty looking, but you noticed it after a few minutes and its a good coversation starter.

There is a roll-over valve in it, I just wanted something to help keep dirt out It was about $5 from advanced and makes it look high speed

I hadn't added the hp for the filter yet, I know the racing stripes added at least 45 or more

Im not 100% sure about he links yet. They take a lot of time, patience, and money. Im short on all three. Im really hoping that they will be worth it when its all said and done.
If I had to do it again, I would do the reat first and get it perfect, see how much it helps and then move to the front. Good luck!

Lets see . . . .

IronPigOffRoad hooked with up with all the componets to make this sweet tire carrier. I only had to buy the 2"x3" tubing locally. I didnt have room for the locking pin and notched the carrier part about 1 1/2 make it sit tighter to the body. I like it :smiley:
