**Advanced Design** · 02-07-2015, 11:50 PM

Love the gin poles. They look good and are so useful. Awesome!

RockTonka · 02-08-2015, 03:59 AM

Thanks AD! Definitely going to be useful.

Pic of the asses I work with...

47 Fasttoys · 02-08-2015, 08:32 AM

My wife says you have a cute ass. So this gin pole set-up is for lifting stuff on the farm? Once you have it lifted, can it be loaded on the truck bed? Sorry I'm not a rancher or farmer or have never lived in Texas.

Pretty much a portable lift, you can load to the bed but may have to get creative depending on size/weight.

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-08-2015, 12:05 PM

It looks sweet! Heirs and everything! Maybe the asses can be the iowa for the gin lift.

Kim57 · 02-08-2015, 02:20 PM

That is really cool looking.
I've worked with asses in the past but they only had two legs.
Kim

6BT 56 · 02-08-2015, 02:39 PM

Nice work. That lift will deffinately come in handy. How's the cab coming along?

For what it's worth I vote no caps. That's how I run my 19.5's on my 05 ram with dynatrack hub conversion. Makes for quick switches in the snow and ice. Lol. I'm sure cold weather convenience is top of your list. Ha.

Does the rock buggy in the background have a thread anywhere ?

Keep up the great work

RockTonka · 02-09-2015, 01:03 AM

The cab is slowly getting done...still working on pass door.

I've had the jeep for 20 or so years, built and rebuilt it a few times but never have done a build thread on it anywhere.

You'll see it in the background here and there...had it in the main shop to switch the front coils out to struts, but it's done so back into storage!

Silverado3500HD · 02-13-2015, 09:11 AM

Very very perfect work!

Good luck sir

Thanks S3500HD!

We pulled the front/rear glass and stuck the cab back on the chassis one last time (hopefully) to check fit on a few things and try to get door/hood/fender gaps lined out a bit better...

Kim57 · 02-14-2015, 11:20 AM

That's one sweet looking rig.
Kim

Spblack · 02-16-2015, 10:18 AM

nice work. what front bumper is that off of?

Thanks. The front bumper is the stock bumper...turned upside down with a 2" strip added to the resulting gap on top.

ChuckDriver · 02-17-2015, 07:43 AM

Awesome!

We added some side lights into the headache rack gussets...gonna give us 360 degrees of light when we want!

Kim57 · 02-24-2015, 09:19 AM

You guys are doing some real neat stuff to the truck.
The frame is going to be stout and really cool looking.
Kim

**Advanced Design** · 02-24-2015, 09:32 AM

Looks really good. Dumb question here...are the holes just to follow the theme of the build or will they serve some other purpose? Either way it looks very stout!

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-24-2015, 06:37 PM

Great work guys! It's looking great.

coops714x4 · 02-25-2015, 01:07 AM

really great work, I got a question do you plan on running the brake lines, wiring and air lines through the frame ? if so you might want to consider getting the hard lines in place first. keep up the good work, its gonna be cool. Coop

Thank you AD! There are no dumb questions, and with us, there isn't always a legitimate reason we do things!

We mainly like the look, but the boxing and thru tubes will add substantial strength to that section of frame.

Thanks Coop, we will run all the lines/wiring externally on the frame. I like visibility/access if there are any issues and wouldn't trust pre-ran lines/wiring subjected to the heat of the welding we're doing.

RockTonka · 02-26-2015, 02:53 AM

So, a bit of hole sawing (actually burned up one drill, had to go get another!), a bit of welding, a bit of smoothing, and the passenger side is done!

stersam · 02-26-2015, 02:58 AM

All of your guy's trucks are amazing. This and the Suburban are my favorite. I love the speed holes in the frame.
