[jhama78]

still need to finish up the decking ont he flatbed and add some more weight to the rear of the truck so the rear springs will work a touch better... also need to add a small pad in the front for the bumpstops to keep my shocks from ever bottoming out if the front end catches air for some reason... anyhoo that about it for now...

easy

yea its shannon, glad your taking good care of it.

[99SR5]

awesome build! i wish i had the skill you have with fabricating lol

[jhama78]

Thanks for the compliments, the cage was done by a bud of mine that builds racecars and chassis so I definitely cant take the credit for that. I did some of the other welding on the hangers etc with another bud that welds for a living so I had a good teacher/advisor on all of that, and he did a large portion of the stuff that had to be burned in well (steering box mount, front hanger etc) so it wouldnt fly off and kill a busload of nuns... haha

easy
