Hello everyone. Yet another build thread amongst the masses of awesome build threads. I have really enjoyed reading through other member's build threads and on the advice of some of my friends, decided to go ahead and do a rebuild thread.

A little background on my truck before I start. I got this truck when I was 16. A couple years after I got it, my dad and I stripped it down, got everything stripped to bare metal and build it back up. Over the years, I made some changes. I ended up with the goal of making a truck that handles well. My brother convinced me to autocross it and I got hooked on it. I had it handling pretty decent for having the stock suspension setup on it. This past November, I was participating in an autocross and wrecked the truck. It basically boiled down to bad driving. Smashed the front end of the truck pretty bad. I walked away fine, but the truck didn't.

Here are a couple recent photos of it.

Here is the aftermath that bad driving can cause:
