I can't imagine this truck looking any better than your previous one.

It was a very sharp truck, and I'm sure you'll find a way to top it.

 

My advise to you since you had a prior theft nightmare it to put on layered security protection with some sort of tracking device. An alarm, separate kill switch, and a tracking device should help. Possibly an etched serial number on the glass too. Also drop some of your business cards in the doors and other out of the way places.

 

Kevin, how come you didn't post up this picture that gives the real clue to the ride height of your truck????

 

ha, thats funny!
that would be a surprise if it was actually like that.

 

Yep on all counts...

Sorry about the holdup guys... Marty and his crew are a stickler for details and there are a lot of little things that needed to be taken care of.

Here are some update pics..... I will go ahead and tell you some of what we are doing but you wont see the whole truck until it is done.

Rize Industries 14" Suspension lift customized by Truck Toyz. The suspension components are powderdcoated in "Black Chrome" .....and it looks BAD AZZ!!!! The axles, driveshaft, drag link, and trac bar are painted "Dark Stone" to match the truck. Let me tell you that the Black Chrome Powdercoated components really complement each other. As you already know the suspension is complemented with Chrome KING Offroad Racing Shocks with black anodized caps and braided hoses.

Here are my "Orange Axles" coming back from paint LOL


Danny putting on my rear driveshaft


Here is a little bit of the truck


Some more angles



I can't tell you guys how FREAKIN happy I am right now!!!!!!!!!! Marty and his boys have really been bustin their azzes on this build.

 

First of all... It looks AWESOME and I can't wait to see the finished truck!!! Second: I'm pumped that you picked the same rims, IMO they are the nicest rims on the market, hands down. What's the tire size this time around? 40's again?

Keep the pics coming!!!

Tom

 

Thanks man.... The Cheyenes are my favorite as well. Yep the tires are 40's

 

Damn, That is looking NICE

 

WOW, thats effing awesome!

with amazing as that rear looks, i cannot wait to see the front four link Rize arms and damn she looks nice! are you going to run 4.88s?

 

Thanks guys... yep 4.88 are already in

 

So where are you going to hang the winch to hual out all the bears you hunt down on the NW side? Up by the 3rd eye?

OR do you just hual up a big mattres to the bed of the truck for some "bare hunting?" <<<LOL>>> . . . . .

Looks like you are having some fun, finally, rebuilding a new toy truck. Enjoy it in the cooler fall weather!

 

I've got one simple question:
Out the door, truck, accessories, and install... what sort of ballpark is this stuff running you pricewise? That's gotta be one expensive toy...

 

I was thinking the same thing

That is going to be one BAD AZZ truck.

 

Very, very, very expensive Toy.


I never even really like to think about how much I've dumped in mine......and I'm not finished..

 

It's done guys!!!!

.....and she turned out absolutely... positively better than I could have dreamed!

I said earlier that I was getting a 14" lift....well after some tweaking and custom fab work by Marty and crew I am sitting at least 16" maybe a hair more. This is with 3" droop up front and 4" droop in the rear. The distance to my headlight bulb in my 05/07 headlights is 61"

The ride is absolutley INCREDIBLE!!!!! I'm not kidding folks when I say that it rides BETTER than it did when it was stock....NO JOKE! I went with a test ride with Marty tonight...and let me tell you that "straight out of the box" there were zero issues....smooth as silk all the way to 90mph. I can't get over how supple the ride is! It just soaks up every bump and the cab remains perfectly still! I'm still getting used to all this extra height....there is a lot more "hang" time when I jump out of the cab now LOL

Some pics from this afternoon. Marty's wife Lisa brought everyone enchaladas for lunch... man we ate so much it hurt afterwards LOL


Here is Fido and Steve stuffin their faces


And here is the alternate use of an alignment rack


I'll be leaving tomorrow morning to head home and I'll start a new post with full pics of the truck.... I have to get everything washed.

The guys from Truck Toyz worked almost until midnight tonight making sure everything was checked and double checked followed by a full alignment on their alignment rack.

This is a pic of the guys that are responsible for my truck. These guys define "dedication" and it reflects in every truck they build and they are the best both professionally and personally:

From L to R:

Danny, Fido, Marco, Steve, Valentin, Justin, and Marty himself. Missing from the photo is Kevin the shop manager (It was his son's birthday today and he was spending the day with him) and Blass.



Without these guys my new truck would not have been possible...
