Dinkus is back in the house.

About time for me to get to my time-off and get to work on him and the Stude again.

Time off? Brahahahahahahahahahaha. . .that's like me telling Mel I'll take it easy. Your definition of time off is VASTLY different from the majority of snowflakes running around sniffing mocha lavender latte's and protesting fossil fuels=)

True.. but I like dead dinosaur fuel

Frame rails welded up and in. @Butt Ugly Chuck came by to review the work in progress. 3- minutes later and he would have been recruited to run the string lines and spin jacks. But, I got it done by my lonesome. I'm within an 1/8" on all measurements on the extension.

Need to weld the inner fishplates in next week and get to the the suspension layout and tack up.

Will be using the OEM upper coil and shock mounts, but the rest will be modified to a triangulated dual rear set up. Lowers to be extended 7.5" over stock 80 arms and uppers will be extended 19". With the triangulated design I will ditch the track bars as well. Custom 10 degree caster arms from @Delta VS Dave is awesome to work with if you guys ever need his products. This is my 8th set of arms I've used of his and they do not disappoint!!!!

Will be a full 8 foot bed on this build. 20" longer than Dingo's bed. For those that know and have seen Dingo.... just add another 37" tire with 6" spacing between the tires...HA!

EVEN HAD SOME TIME TO WORK ON MY SMOKER.

EPIC!!!!!

The 6x6 Ute is on all axles now. Pass through axle and rear suspension and linkage/arms are mocked up. Rear winch/hitch tray with a ComeUp Seal Gen 2- 12.5rs is test fit.

Over the next two weeks I'll get the chassis completely welded out and then pull the body and get it on the dolly and roll it to my paint shop.

Tony has talked me into making a full bed with tailgate. So that will be the next challenge.

One off custom bumper build for Dinkus. ComeUp Solo 12.5 on the tray. Baja designs squadron pro LEDs

1/4" shell, 3/8" winch tray and 1/2" frame/recovery brackets.

I might put a bullbar on it... but liking the open front right now.

Is Baja Designs your goto for lights these days?

For upper end builds I only use Baja. Otherwise KC or Rigid.

Is this going to have like a slide in unit in the bed or actually just a bed?

Just a bed for now.

The finer details of things always excite me the most. From medicine to physics and mountain bikes to vehicle builds, the expert in any field throws the gauntlet down and challenges his/her peers to give/do their best.

This picture embodies the above. . .for me. The mental expertise it takes to think, design, fabricate and assemble something like this literally blows my panties off. It so fcuking beautiful, akin to taking in X masterpiece at X gallery, awestruck by both the complexity of individual aspects and the overwhelming beauty of the finished piece.

And that defines what it is to be a master of your field IMO. . .

So would this rear end be quadruple triangulated 8 link? Either way its bad freaking ass

Its a dual 4 link with dual triangulated uppers. The lowers are not fully straight but not enough of an angle for me to call it upper and lower triangulated.

Dinkus is turning into the Mad Max cruiser I have been envisioning.

Inner bed body supports are cut and welded in. Outer bed skin is cut, bent and tacked into position.

Now onto the fender flare design and tailgate.

Looks great IMO!
