I've been wanting the inner structure since I first saw it but the swap for bags came from my younger son. I received trailing arms with spring mounts on them with my kit and my son asked what they were for. When I told him he said, "So we could have bags?" I'm trying my best to stay on track but the T.A.D.D. kicks in and I'm off on a tangent. I have no idea when my parts will be in so it may be a rough week or so! Anyway, I am thankful for a wife who supports my truck habit, for my sons who dig trucks too, and for the truck guys who answer my crazy texts. I'll be praying to the parts gods and waiting for the big brown truck. I love the big brown truck!

Good luck with this, I change directions every 10 minutes with my Burb Build! Ol Travis over at Pro Performance probably hates me because I have had him price out wheel sets about 15 times now!

I think I have a plan that will keep the project name safe and the truck white.

Yep, the key for me will be keeping the parts arriving on-time. I think creation of a spread sheet is in my future, something to keep track of progress and the parts and labor required.

Re: Project: Shiro
That inner frame structure is a very nice piece, I have been thinking about it for mine as well, and I say switch over to bags

Nice, I think it is the right choice and you'll be happy with it. Believe me I know a thing or two about changing my mind during a build

That was my suspicion as well. You're going to have to change the name of the project when you switch paint colors!

Re: Project: Shiro
Well... Nothing really going on with the build other than Shiro's new shoes showing up. Had some good momentum going, hopeful to regain it in a few weeks.

First look...
