Re: " Quality Time "

Possibly. I know Tommy has a lot of stuff going on right now so my truck is on the back burner for a little while. My Dad normally makes trips back there about every (3) months or so to check on the progress. Too busy with work and kids right now to make it down. I have not even been hunting this year which sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some shot with the spindles and flip kit installed............. I may have to go back and lower the front a little bit (due to the springs not being cut 1/2 - 1 coil)

Re: " Quality Time "

Have not updated this thread in a while. Some of the latest pictures I have from October of 2016............. things kind of slowed down when the body man did not put the doors back on before he welded the rockers and cab corners fully on..... They had to be redone and the cab re-sprayed.......................
