Nate I have to agree with you on the trucks that dont use tubs of some kind. To much road grime and water gets where you donjt want it. I wanted mine to have the ability to be daily driven but also have the style under the hood allowing you to see the suspension work and keep my engine bay dry.
Thank you for the complement.
And Mike I appreciate your comment on my use of space. lol. Ive made one heck of a mess in there, but all of it is well worth it.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Those are some slick pieces for the truck.

Can't wait for the pics of them installed.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Great job on the frame, the custom pieces you had made up is going to add a nice touch.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Thanks guys, You all are really making me feel good about this build!
I've been trying really hard to make this truck a one of a kind.
And so many people like Mike Losh and the guys at Porterbuilt
are making these dreams come true. I also talked with The guys at Accuair and we are working on getting an E-level set up for The "Storm"! Everyday I am so blessed to work with such great people like the afore mentioned and am so greatful to each of them for their support. So hopefully soon we all will be seeing this build really taking off!

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Looking great. Keep the momentum going and posting pictures for us.

where would be the best place to get 4-link rod ends? I've looked at the jimmy joints made by summit machine, but they are a little pricey.
Any suggestions?

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Look here:

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Thanks bud. I'll give them a call tonight.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Read thru your thread. I like your progress.

Here is another source for Rod Ends. I have had good luck with them in the past. One of my orders got pushed out and they called me and I ended up getting an upgraded rod end for the same price since it was a manufacturing mistake that my order got pushed out. Seem to be good people.

I've been in a slump on my build, but Im about to get back kickin again. Got to get rid of some dead weight. Then its go time again.

Re: Project "Nether~Storm" 72 swb
 

Sorry guys for being gone so long. I have had alot going on. Just a quick update and hopefully I can get back kicking on this truck soon.
I have a deal in the works to hopefully get a Frame that already has been done the way I have been planning with all the PB parts, and MMW CA's + alot of extra goodies!
So keep your fingers crossed and wish me the best of luck. This will jump my built to the next level and get me really kicked to the next level!
Thanks for following along, my long and insain road of this build.
