Did your fuel line come in yet? We'll have to have another work night once everyone is settled in.

Yes - It came the day before my wife went into labor. So needless to say... I haven't had a chance to get back to it yet. I'm hoping to this weekend.

We'll need to get another work night planned. It's pretty close.

I threw the seat in quick to see how it looks. It's different, but I like the color contrast.

That contrast is just crazy enough to work! Killer interior look

Re: Project: Fun daily driver

Apologize for the lack of updates over the summer. The truck undergone a number of changes, and many of them I couldn't talk about until now.

Throughout the summer my truck was the test vehicle for QA1's new coil-over conversion system. A entire coil-over front and rear system was developed, and we plan to release it in January / 2018.

The kit we're going to release will be available in a couple different formats. I have the full coil-over conversion on the truck now, but you will have the option for stock spring style control arms in the front. The rear is coil-over only, but you can choose a conversion to be used with a stock truck arm, or go with a tubular truck arm with integrated pinion angle adjustment. Of course, adjustable pan hard bars are included that work with rear mounted gas tanks.

check out QA1's website for more specifics on the kit.

All in all the truck has been transformed. I'm still amazed how well it handles, while riding as good as it does. That's the most common thing people say when they ride in it. The stance is much approved over the stock ride height. I'm sitting a little over 5" lower in the front with the coil-overs and spindles, and approximately 5.5" lower in the rear with room to go 1.5" lower.

I'll keep this thread updated as progress continues.

Re: Project: Fun daily driver (Plus New QA1 Coil-Over Suspension!!!)

Since we're up here in MN, project season is upon us. The truck is now being torn down again for a host of projects.
