Just read your build. Looks great. The plate work for your rear shock mounts looks awesome. keep it up

thanks for all the postive feed back. i build 90% of this truck and i have to say it turned out pretty good . darren the new owner is bringing it out to my shop for a few more finishing touches then were gonna head out to pismo. this should be mid october. so the more the marrier

sweeet! im coming to look at it as soon as it arrives!

I'm Darren, I'm the proud new owner of this fine off road vehicle lol, I bought it in feburary, and have been chippin away at getting stuff that I can handle done on it, Eric, who was the builder of the truck, I finally convinced to come out and help me finish what he started at the beginning of the summer, and this is what we've accomplished over the summer, I have alot of money into parts for it, because I figured spend it once, spend it right, I sold about everything I had to finiance the truck, and be able to pay Eric to come out and assist me in getting it to the point its at now. I grew up racing motocross, and desert, on a dirt bike, and have an extreme respect for our desert, and our sport, and this truck is something I've always wanted to do and at 22 I decided betternow then later when I have even more responisbilitys then I do now.. I've dumped countless hours into this truck, with and without Eric's assistance, and althought I call this truck mine, I know very well who has more time and effort into it, and that's Eric, without him, it would for sure not be this far, this is my first actuall purpose built off road truck. I plan on racing the races that come here to Ridgecrest, untill I become more familiar with everything, then I may venture into doing more racing, or may just keep it a very capable on and off road truck, as it is registered for the street and rocks' the stock 4.0l very well lol, plans for the immediate future include, front bumps ASAP! and then my family is going to pay to have the paint and body done for my birthday this next month, then in jan-feb, when I recieve my tax return, I will buy some nice wheels and tires, and have some nice tin work done throughout the truck.. In the next few years the truck will recieve an ls1, and turbo 400, and then lose its "streetability" and interior.
enjoy-
