first off, i want to thank Matt Helton for naming my truck haha
ok so ive been on here for a long time and posted bits and pieces of my build along the way but finally decided to start a thread dedicated to it. not much of it has been documented and ill do my best to dig up pics but when im working i rarely have a camera around.
so here is goes.
got the truck in February of 08 for free with a downey kit, downey springs, bolt in cage, 4.10s etc etc pretty much a simple, clean unabused truck. that all changed very quickly haha
within the first 6 month i fryed multiple alternators, blew a headgasket, hada water pump fail and had a pinion bearing go out. did the headgasket myself and upgraded to a 1 wire GM 130amp alt.
then it was time for more noise so i added 2 12" in a custom box
now it was time to start beating the shit out of it. my first real trip in it was to ocotillo and resulted in a sliced sidewall after trying to keep up with some baja bugs lol

then it was off to the 2008 night race, which was my first offroad trip with DR people. met alot of cool people that i still go to the desert with.
soon after that trip i realized that 14" rancho rs9000 werent to good on the back of this thing so i ordered up a set of preproduction FOA triple bypasses.
one of the first things i "fabbed", extened my shock hoops to make them fit.
cycled it and had an amazing 10" of travel lol
took it out for a little test run, worked amazing compared to the ranchos even with downey lift springs.
