I had to open my mouth. The upper coilover mount needs to be turned 90 degrees to avoid binding. Chris ordered a new mount so we’ll finish up when that comes in.

 

[Silverback]

Ahh.. yeah.. I can see how that may occur. Glad ya'll caught it now vs. wrecking a coilover.

 

[SMKYTXN]

I know she's not quite done, but we did get a coat of paint on her. As soon as the new coilover mounts come in we'll get her knocked out.

Damn it looks good! Good job on the bending.

Got a full side shot? That "bed" is a lot shorter than I thought it would be just curious how the full profile looks.

And I really like those tube recovery points where'd you get them?

They sell those at many places.

Thanks buddy. I'm definitely feeling more comfortable bending tube these days. Might have to get a 2" die and go after my own rig.

I don't have a current profile shot, but this is one from earlier in the build. Chris didn't want the be sticking past the back of the tires.

I believe Chris picked up the recovery points from Barnes, but I could be mistaken.

Yup, there are several companies that make them.

I think you grabbed the wrong can of paint. That tube is not pink.

They are from Chassis Unlimited. I wanted it shorter and somewhat minimalistic as compared to the previous version. It still has the same wheelbase if 120”.

 

[Silverback]

But wait... tell you wanted the cage pink!!

 

[Boomtacoma01]

This is where he sits as of right now. I will be back from Ohio tomorrow and will try to the the truck off the jack stands and in his own weight for the first time. These are the upper coilover mounts that we came up with. May still add some more tube to stiffen it up a little more.

Spoiler alert

 

[Silverback]

WAIT WAIT... Is that all pink shit? Awe fuck no its just my monitor color is off. Damn it!

Bitch looks awesome. I need to come ride shotgun at some point soon.

It'll make you wanna do things to your 81.

 

[Silverback]

I do need to do things to my 81. I'm thinking door panels and fix the AC.

 

[HomerTaco]

Neato!

 

[SMKYTXN]

The Red Truck is ready to head home. I can't wait to see how she performs with all the new upgrades.

Got ol Red back in his place in my garage.

Started on some finishing touches this afternoon. Rear lights, exhaust, extending the lines to my trans cooler, drained the rear diff and repainted the cover. Should have it all knocked out by the end of the week hopefully.
