The guys at Precision once again are spot on.

Also today I accepted a project that will pull me away from cruisers for a bit...

2019 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. Custom bed and canopy, bumpers, sliders, skid plates, winches, lift and racks. Customer is waiting for the truck to be delivered. Estimated arrival 7 weeks.

@mryanangel yeah.... I took the gig!

Scope of work will basically be a version of this.

In a couple of weeks we will be house, shop, land hunting again.... One or a combination of all....

Bummer

 

[dogfishlake]

Not that house hunting is bad (if you're in to it) but I wish you were going to SAS3

Oooh myyy... This is wild, J. Super nice job, well thought out!
Agree on the rear corners, they need some un-boxing.

Coil and airbag setup is interesting, my mind wandered towards the LJ73, now it has ome coil setup, but like you say, they need weight to be somewhat comfy.
And with the LJ, weight is a bad thing, enginewise, just underpowered.
When we take it out topless, it's even lighter, and I have to load up the drawers with lead to make it handle and ride acceptable.
With coils like yours, it would be agile and comfy.


Keep up the good work, and pace!

(I'm saving up for a TT order)

Underbelly is scrubbed and degreased. Waiting on MR SODA to come and get the cab finished up..

J

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Doors, hood and fenders stripped.

A parts box from @RUBEN CROW from Norwalk Toyota arrived too!

J

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Almost finished with the interior cab/floor panels. A couple hours tomorrow and it'll be done.

Cleaned up the chop chop from the PO and cut and bent some modified rocker patches (16 ga) to weld in.

Custom "C" pillar panels will get designed with 8" subs, JBL tweets up high and a couple of BlueSea USB plugs.

FEEL LIKE I'M BACK IN MY 1/4 MILE CHEVY II AND VEGA DAYS!!!!

J

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Lots of welding to get the cab finished up... but getting closer.

J

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I'll need to trim the lower edge of the fenders about 2.5", roll them and make custom body clips and fender fasteners. The PO cut the rockers so high the bolt up connection was removed.

Just a little extra custom work.....

J

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

A little over 5 hours of welding this morning. Interior is welded out and outside rocker patch is welded out. A little under belly welding, two seat braces underneath and the end of the bottom of cab and body work can start.

Also bought a good inline sander. Been wanting this one for awhile and finally bought one.

@gbogh stopped by this morning to pickup a pair of fender vents and give me a little break. Always good to see you buddy.
