Truck was a mess when I got her it came with the vinyl flooring and in some places it had torn and there was mud under it so I decided to clean it out...since I cant stand driving a dirty truck

That FUGLY thing came with it

After all the vinyl flooring was out I got some bedliner and went to town on it

SWAMPER · « **Reply #5 on:** Jul 18, 2006, 09:44:49 PM »

Once the beadliner dried I bolted the seats back down and gave em some new seat shirts

Looks like somebody stole it right off of the front of Glen's, that thing is big enough to be a stage at a rock concert.

wow...nice custom inclinometer. Is that an angle finder bolted to the dash??

Truck is damn clean, though.

It WAS a long bed but being that Im not a big fan of long beds on such a small truck my buddy SAWSALL and I decided to make it a short shortbed

SWAMPER · « **Reply #11 on:** Jul 18, 2006, 10:06:02 PM »

My springs were a bit worn out so I had my buddy GLEN build my some nice hybrid ones

SWAMPER · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 18, 2006, 10:14:19 PM »

Funds and time was short for a while so I had to take a break from the build I will take pics of all the updates ASAP here is some tubing I bought to make my bumpers and sliders

I also got me a Hooker......header

a donated roll bar and five 8" 130 watt lights for it and two 6" 100 watt ligths for the front bumper

Were slowly working out the electrical glitches and replacing everything that got fried

so far Ive replaced the spark plugs, cap and rotor, ignition coil and the starter next up is the ignitor and I think that will solve my problems

I will try and swing by the shop tomorrow and take pics of the goodies

SWAMPER · « **Reply #15 on:** Aug 03, 2006, 06:41:03 AM »

Well apparently Ive slacked off on the updating but Mr. UPS dropped off a package that I just had to show you guys

non able voter state

take a grinder and make a notch at the bottom of that truss so that any mud or water that goes in has a way to drain out

do that on front and back

SWAMPER · « **Reply #27 on:** Aug 05, 2006, 11:59:33 AM »

Yeah I had already thought of that...God know's that i love mud but cant stand having hichhikers
