Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Well it was a decent day today so I rolled Tootsie out of the shop and took some pictures of what was performed on the truck the last few day. I have alot of wiring going from the back of the truck to the cab and because there is no were to hide it. I am making a 2.5 inch round runner for the wires. I know it is big but the plugs on the air ride are big and that combined with the power wire I wanted to make sure I went a little bigger. I think it will blend well when you look up from under the bottom of the truck. I also changed the tail lights out to stock. I like it better then the clear lights. Which I never was planning on running. Ok so here is were I am having trouble. I need to run atleast 1 3/4 headers or it will rob a ton of power from the truck. Problem is passinger side has to snake between the starter and the motor mount. So I will call sanderson tomorrow and see if they will build ne one for the truck. I will keep you guys posted. I have a ton of room on the drivers side. Here are some pics enjoy.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Just another work of art from you!!!!! I am so glad that I can see the work that you do on these trucks. gives me something to look forward to all the time. I love the looks of the truck! great job. As for the conduit for the wiring, yeah< that is large, I am sure it will fit in somehow, but wow, it looks like a anaconda in there. lol. sry. Thing is, I would sooner do something like that than have all the wiring exposed. it will be way cleaner and in the end you will never notice it. Good work so far.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
I think that tube for the wires looks cool! Its better than seeing wires or wire loom thats for sure!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Really like the wire runner idea. Will definitely tie in and looks so much better than a bunch of wires running all over.
And I think the stock lenses look better then the clears. Just my opinion. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
I agree with the big conduit! Looks freakin TRICK, it's well thought out and functional! Maybe some kind of a bushing or seal on the ends of the pipe?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Hey Eric, So when will you have the t-shirts printed up with your truck and logo on them? I'm thinking black with the bright orange , and some white ones with cool blk outlined graphics. I'm going to put my order in for a couple right now. You know your truck is bad a$$ when you have your own t-shirt...... Lets do this. T

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Eric, a word I think is often overused (but, I think it applies here)...this truck is simply AWESOME!! An impressive tribute and a work of art. I'm think the conduit will work well in the end, better to hide and protect the wiring than leave it exposed. In the end, I don't think it will even be noticed as I believe it blends into the frame. Thanks for sharing the ongoing build and the great pictures. Tell your Mom we are all still thinking of her!!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
That would be awsome I will just need to make sure I dont have to set up a non profit to do that. I think it would be great to donate the money for cancer research. I thought I would set up a smaal stand at the shows and sell them. I will have to talk to Tony because he does this for a living

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
And thank you for the reality check on the pricing....I'm sure many on this board have no clue how much it costs to do a build like this.
