Awesome project. I really like the crew cab. Plus seeing it sit on the ground doesnt hurt anything either

**Captainfab** · 10-06-2008, 12:46 AM

Glad to see you've made a little progress. I was worried you may have given up........I know all too much about work getting in the way of projects. This is going to be such a bad ass truck. I'm looking forward to future updates......work permitting.

Looking good Rob, more pics!

PrerunnerRob · 11-15-2008, 06:57 AM

Just a quick picture. I bought enought tubing to re-clip from the axle back, hopefully will be done somewhat on Sunday. After looking at the price of a notch, this made alot more sense, and I gain some gas tank room!

**ChiefRocka** · 11-15-2008, 09:43 AM

Sweet man...Ya the notches are like $185 now, or something...

Looking forward to it !

This is gonna be a killer ride when its done keep up the good work..

PrerunnerRob · 11-16-2008, 11:45 PM

So, I know I should be posting pics of progress, but you can't take pictures when you leave the camera at home! Got the notches built, I mean OVERBUILT! Thought I had picked up some 3x3x3/16 wall, but turned out I cant read a tape measure. It's acually 1/4 wall, so strength should not be an issue. Got everything cut, all the edges ground back for a full penetration weld, and just have to cut the framerails to length. Had to stop due to not being 100% on a dimension, more to come later this week!

**ChiefRocka** · 11-17-2008, 09:43 AM

Sweet man...but one suggestion:

That 'ol "I left my camera at home" bit is get'n kinda old...

Can you come up with a new one ?

PrerunnerRob · 11-17-2008, 10:36 AM

Uh, the dog ate the memory card?

hewlett2002000 · 11-18-2008, 06:36 AM

thats lookin awesome!!!! dont worry, my cat ate my mem card!! i know how it feels... lol

PrerunnerRob · 12-04-2008, 11:57 PM

Been slowly making progress, just spent the better part of last week taking alot of measurements and cutting all my pieces. 3x3x1/4 wall box tube is not fast to cut on the chop saw, especially when you make bonus cuts the wrong way.

Anyway, here is my new frame clip that should drop inside the exterior frame rails this saturday:

Anybody notice Joe's post count is going up as fast as the national debt clock?

Sorry Prerunrob.....kick butt job....maybe joe could send you a camera for X-mas

!

PrerunnerRob · 12-05-2008, 12:31 AM

I know I'm bad about using the camera, I just hate to stop when I'm on a roll. I am charging my camera now, am bringing it on Satuday, and WILL actually take pictures. Promise!

I'm taking this thing to the destruction derby after I finish it.

I actually thought I grabbed 3/16" at Sims, but I looked later and found the side I measured had gotten smashed at the end where I measured it. 8 places to check wall thickness, and I pick the one that is undersize! I may not be towing with this, but it will still serve duty hauling my dirtbike and quad.

PrerunnerRob · 12-07-2008, 12:42 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys, I'll keep posting pictures as I make progress.

**Captainfab** · 12-08-2008, 01:00 AM

That turned out real nice.....and the welds are nice as well. Did you make up the link bars? I am curious as to why threaded ends on both ends.

Bought the 4 link from FBI(local truck vendor at shows), and thats how it came. Both ends are RH thread too, which I thought strange, but it was $180 with all the brackets. I assume it's to get a little more adjustment length out of it, but I'm not totally sure.
