WOW I just read this thing from page 1, I am truly impressed and humbled to be allowed on the same internet as you. Your dedication to researching and learning, as well as your ability and skills are amazing. I will be watching this build and anticipating the final result. Keep up the incredible work.

 

Sick. I'm just happy that I'm finally getting my truck bagged next month. This truck conquers all...

 

This is a very cookie cutter build bro

 

it's a locker, not trutrac

yessir

 

First off I finally got my own welder, Miller 180 with some extras, used 5 times. $900


Little update... been working on it here and there, but trying to save my money so I can order the rest of my ART stuff.

Well you all know I've been waiting for a set of stock tubs, and well I got some and used about 4.5" of them haha, just so I could mimic the dimple the same. Then I added a filler and side piece and what I have is a "stock looking" tub widened 6"




I was asked for pictures of the filled and redrilled axle ends, and resplines, so here you go


Another thing I noticed, going to have change out the studs Moser used, or find a 3/16" nylock nut since on the McGaughys spindles, the upper bolt is now a stud, it's going to hit the wheel stud otherwise. You can see how close they are on the bottom

Picked up a 03 Console, $100

Finally, my corners. I felt they matched my Xenarcs pretty well, I plan to order a set of clear corners and take the lense with a clear reflector and install that lens
on this housing. Depo makes these corners, if anyone is wondering.

 

I like the new miller welders. I have a 140 Autoset (should have gotten the 180 ) Also its nice to see its coming together slowly but surely.
