I think the skill set is there.

Rear access panel coming along. We’ll probably make an aluminum rect flange to help keep flat and seal properly. It’s all getting spray on liner too...

 

[Megadoomer]

I dont know what liner you are doing but I am really impressed with the Raptor liner I put in mine.

I think you're going to make the Party! When's the painting starting. I would be bumming out thinking about taking it all apart to paint. Hopefully you can delegate that part out. Keep at it!

Had to make a modified yoke for the front driveshaft to handle the angle that it will be having... Love the front view of a pig nose

Looking really good @landcruisnman I haven't been by the shop in awhile, I need to go check it out. Did you order 37's? That's what I've always planned to run on mine also but I'm not going to trim the rear either. I still plan on having custom front fenders made though. Once I weld in the patch panels on my stock fenders I will take them down to have the molds made.

Are they making the sway bar for the rear like the one on my T100 prerunner? They called me about it awhile ago. That style should work great on your pig.

wow wow wow

I’m not quite sure on read sway bar yet. I’ve got some 35s coming. I’m gonna start there.

 

[landcruisnman]

Got my wheels/tires in. Radiator in and mounted. Plenty of room for stock fan. Shroud fab time..

 

[landcruisnman]

Pics. Nice American made radiator custom made..

The stance is killer! Remember I wanna be amongst the first passengers when you launch that off the first jump.

This is about 3/4 droop. Should sit about 4” lower at ride height
