Wow. thanks a lot guys! Im still plugging along on it. Just bought some Slam ss7 bags for the back. If they fit up front, I'll be buying 2 more. And Im gathering all the stuff I need to do the cantilever arms. They are like nothing ive ever seen. I cant wait to get em done so I can show em!

Just got my Slams in the mail today! They are very nice looking bags. I have never owned any Slams before and I am eager to try these out. Im hoping for a good update soon. Maybe getting a lil play money soon

I've had a few people ask me for the link to the Dana article I read to calculate my driveline angles. So this is the link.

Just bought a Miller 211, a Viair 480 dual pack, a 5 gallon aluminum tank, 8 3/8" SMC valves, and the other 2 Slam bags (SS6 for the front).

My cantilever arms are proving to be difficult to design. I don't really have a theme for my truck so I can't decide what design to go with. I'm getting pretty frustrated with them and considering to jus go with bag on bar jus so I can have a completed frame.

And I've also decided I'm gonna redo the upper control arm mount like Tre5 and some others suggested. It's ugly and there's some doubt about the structural integrity of the uca mount. So I'm gonna one-off a new mount. And raise the uca mount up a little bit to hopefully help with the camber.

I'm still here guys! Still have the truck! It's just very difficult to stay motivated when you don't have any friends locally in the scene to help keep you motivated.

Good to see an update!

Keep at it! It will pay off when done. When you are rolling down the road in the truck you built!

At times, I use this site for motivation.

What part of TN is millington in? I just moved from NE TN myself, But I have plans on returning for a trip so my family down there can see the newborn baby after times right and I can get away from work long enough. If you are nearby the NE TN area i'd love to stop by and check in on this build in person. Maybe even help with some wrench time in the future even if for a day it could make a diff lol. I miss working on my B pickup and eventually will have another. I have plans for finding a decent clunker of one nearby and restoring it for my son once he is old enough and raise him into the minitruckin scene in style lol.

Does this truck have drop spindles?

Millington tn is about 20 minutes north of Memphis, but I actually live IN Memphis now.

The truck has stock Toyota spindles with modified stock Mazda control arms
