Comments:  So here is my money pit.  The intention is to create a mixed-use rig for "fast" desert running and canyon crawling.  The end result is a rig that does both okay but neither well.

Photos:  I really need better pics...

I'm sure it runs the desert and crawls a lot better than mine!

Thanks everyone. Just dropped the truck off at ultrapc40's friend's shop for a custom rear bumper and maybe to have the rear Deavers and 2.25" SAWs installed, if I don't make it back there in time.

Truck is coming together little by little.

No, never had an SST lift. Had 3" PRG spacers and TC uppers before this. Must be thinking about someone else's.

So a few things are happening to the truck this week.

Dropped the truck off with Spencer's friends (creative fab works) to get a rear bumper made. Here are some teaser pics.

Spencer has done some wrenching on the truck too.

One of the "new" shocks. Brake/ABS lines have been unclipped since taking the pics.

You beat me to it. My laptop was being stupid. And I am not sure how to attach pics on my I devices.

The rear bumper is getting finish weld today then a top plate and in the frame it goes!

The brakes lines look bad on the picture, but there was still more give to them. Test the truck around the complex and no weird noises from the rear. It's button up and ready for cleghorn.

Let me know if you want us to put in that bump stop extension already have it cut from some scrap we have just need your word or I will just give it to you and you can have someone do it. I don't want you to rip your shock mounts off.

Hahah. I told you I'd post the pics if you didn't.

Yeah, please tack the extended bumps.

Dude I'm so stoked to see the finished product and immediately do a shakedown run at Cleghorn.
