nice looking rig dude. looks like some fun. any pics of the cage?

Here are a few shots of the cage, it is an EOR kit that had some custom touches added to it by a friend of mine.

here is what the truck looks like right now, I am working on some shock mounts out back as well as reworking the frame a little in back

Now I know you wanted bigger tires on there probably for clearance reasons, but did the old 35" cooper stt's ever let you down? I'm wondering cause I'm looking into buying a set for my rig.

I only wheeled them once, but they seemed to do pretty well. They were great on the street, so for a daily driver I would recomend them

Cool. I'm looking for something to get me to and from the trails and sand dunes - no real rock crawling for my near future.

here is the new crossmember. My shackle angle is much better now, and I have a solid tow point out back

I mounted up some Polyperformance BBCS shocks out back.

Nice

I took the truck out to some trails near my house. I am really happy with the rear suspension since adding the shocks and fixing the shackle angle, here are a few poser shots

Bad-Ass truck man! What springs are you running up front? I noticed the front axle seemed to be moved forward in the picts.

Nope it does not even come close. I can see that it looks close in the pictures though.

I will be at Trees Ranch on saturday and some of sunday, I usually end up helping lead trails out there, have you been out to the ranch before?

I went and cycled the supsension today using a friends fork lift. So here are some poser shots. Also I picked up a new camera so my pics wont be so blurry,

I also rewired my trailer and setup the trailer brakes. While I was at it I wired up a conection so the toyotas lights work with the trailers lights

I think they suck, nice mud tire and mall pounder. IMO only.
for cheaper, id get the Maxxis Bighorn's, much better tire.

Nice Truck TSage.
you definately arent afraid of body damage... i bet your neighbors HATE you lol

They are Trail Gear 3 inch, I will probably swap them out soon but they work fine for now. I also ordered up a redneck ram setup from west texas offroad so I should be able to turn now

thanks everyone for the kind words

Thanks for the kind words.

I am wrapping up all of my odds and ends for our trip to moab. We are leaving friday morning so time is running out

I have my redneck ram hydro assist done, installed a better hand throttle setup, mounted my GPS, and installed some LED rock lights. here are some pics of the updated interior and the rock lights

and the pic of the lights, the pic does not show them off very well, they are pretty bright

Tsage · « **Reply #56 on:** Oct 14, 2008, 05:47:46 PM »

here are some better shots of the rock lights

THK Matt · « **Reply #57 on:** Oct 14, 2008, 06:11:40 PM »

they look like the need to be turned outwards some.. nice though

AaronB · « **Reply #58 on:** Oct 14, 2008, 06:27:57 PM »

any pics of the ram set up?

Tsage · « **Reply #59 on:** Mar 22, 2009, 07:25:13 PM »

I did a dovetail job on the truck this past weekend with the help of some friends. I still need to finish up some sheet metal work and smooth every thing out but so far I am really happy with it
