well went wheelin for the first time sunday... it ran awesome and i made all the lines i attempted but then it died and wouldn't run. it wasn't getting any fuel and still isn't?   there is no power to the pump or to the fuel gauge sending unit at the tank... any idea's? it was running great for 4+ hours then it died and wouldn't run after that

Fuses? bad connections? Have ya checked all the obvious? I wanna see some 

[dov'd85]

yes i have checked all of the obvious.... i am in the process of testing all the wires to insure no breaks in the wirings. but i am not sure were the fuel pump relay is? is it the only relay in the fuse block? also i don't have any power at any of the fuses in the block but #6? any ideas

pics!there not very good... i ony good to drive my truck for 3 hours before it died it was more of a tease than a wheelin trip... im pretty disapointed it even decided to snow while we were up there

Are you running DIY beadlocks without the outer ring?

[dov'd85]

Are you running DIY beadlocks without the outer ring?

yes... i bought the wheels not knowing they were reversed center rims, and they do not have the proper drop center so i couldn't mount them as beadlock... i am running these for the summer then gettin some 42's and new rims
thanks for pointen that out haha

[yotadork83]

[dov'd85]

Some shocks would probably work good also.

[dov'd85]

it has been awhile since i updated, so.... i have added some tube fenders and cut some more sheetmetal . had it out a few times, no major issues so far broke a couple rear drivelines though. i will post pics tonight and a video .
  i ended up getting an XD 9000 with sythetic. couldn't pass it up for 250 bucks.
got the back almost done. i haven't had much spare time to work no it. with school and work, i graduate in less than a month. so i will have alot of time on my hands soon to finish it!

i took my rims to Trail Ready and the cut them down and i rewelded the inner rigs back on and i now have beadlocks
