I pieced everything together, no kit. You'll find everything in the brackets and tabs section. I think I have about $1200 in the rear including the DOM (2 inch 1/4 wall). and the ballistic joints. I have a 3 link in the front with ballistic brackets and some homemade touches to set it apart. here's a few pics of the front. It still needs cleaned up, but you'll get the point of what I'm doing

 

oh and what do you guys think of my hacked up saw horse? I fixed it after I was done but had the front of my pickup welded to it and needed to push the axle forward more so it got hacked! Ha ha, it happens but yea I forgot how much I had to cut into that thing

 

At least you have a sawhorse. -_-
I'm not sure what happened to mine. I could only find one of them when I was reinforcing my rear bumper. (Busted a mount off.) And it looked like it got hit by a train.
Not really sure how. Haha.

Really good job on the truck. If you want, i'll take it for a test drive. Just to see if it rides good and is safe enough for you.. just because I care that much.
You may want to wait on the paint till i'm done though.

 

I have never used(or thought of using) a saw horse when working on a rig. Its always been jack stands and a cherry picker. Hell I don't even have a saw horse. Lol.

Prozon, y sure do offer to drive other peoples rigs a lot. Lol.

Blueoval_boy_64, what motor, trans, t-case, and gears are u running in that thing? A 44 bogger takes A LOT of power to spin.

 

Right now it has a tired 351, but that will change once this is up and going. It's got a built E4OD and getting a NP203/205 transfercase with a triple stick conversion. The axles are getting yukon 5.38s and arbs. Chromolly shafts up front with the 35 spline outters and warn hubs. After it's up and running it'll get a 460 with a MAF conversion, healthy roller cam, aluminum heads and headers. But one thing that isn't going to change, I'm leaving the F-150 badges on it. Want people to know what it started life as!

 

That's cool. Sounds like a good plan. Mine started as a 150 too.

 

Saw horses, that's high class stuff!! I use what ever is laying around, old wheels, cinder blocks, blocks of wood stacked on top of each other. Anything that hopefully will hold the weight of what ever I'm working on.

 

Excuse my lack of knowledge but what it "bobbing"?

 

The damn thing is just so tall that I had to get one. I was going to feel uneasy under it if I had a jack stand on top of a dozen cinder blocks

 

Its fine as long as you use duct tape and super glue to hold the cinder blocks together.

And yes, I figure one day somebody will be drunk enough and throw me the keys to their rig. I'd probably break it though. Kinda wanted to try Ed's truck. I'm sure I could cause mayhem in that.

Lifting my truck soon. I need to paint my jeep so I can sell it. Need to get projects out before I begin messing with my F-350. I guess i'll have to go with 54" Boggers since you guys are running F-150's with 44's. Its only fair that my F-350 gets an upgrade.. besides, my 1 tons can go to an F-150 in need. Haha.

 

Lol. 54 inch bogger! Have fun payin for somthing like that! All the work to run them, just to one up us F150s. Lol

 

I'm smelling some duce and a halfs... with a hint of chromolly and ALOT more money then I'm spending. I was thinking of going with the 2.5s and bigger tires, but I remembered how short I am and decided not to

That theory works for women too!!

 

Hahahahahaha.
Thats right. With enough liquour, everyone will cooperate! :P

Hav24wheel, I figured i'd rob a bunch of parts from your truck. And maybe some stuff from your house. Working on trucks really makes me hungry sometimes. I guess if your fridge is mysteriously empty one night you'll know why.

 

Have fun gettin the stuff with my two dogs runnin around. Lol u don't want stuff off my pickup anyways, its a measly half ton. Lol
