PROJECT:- SETBACK

yeah I think once there is some weight it will be much better for the rear, and shocks. it's almost a shame that I restrained the front end lift, cause it would go a lot more it clears the tires with 2 3/4" all the way up. but that matches the rear setup for lift so oh well. besides with just running 17's it would look redonkulous with much more lift.

oh and for the bag fund.... well guess it's getting close to paint and interior fund time...lol!

Looking good man..

Glad to see it hittin' switches...

Congrats!!!!

damn dale that looks great. the front end looks like i wish mine would. when you do some shocks in the back it will get it to the exact speed youre looking for. my shocks helped mine out. without the shocks mine would almost hop (i hate hopping bags).

Looks killer man. Keep up the work. I wish I could get mine there....long way off.

okay here is what I squeezed in between thunder storms this weekend.

got the smooth rear wall on, blurry and under a tarp but you get the point


and I knew the right side ext cab sheet metal was hashed and getting replaced, but the drivers side was over a 1/2" of mud in spots too, so I cut up some old doors that were straight for skins



still have the right side to reskin, and some finishing touches for the rear wall on the inside

man that was a great ass idea about using doors to patch up the cab. the rear looks great too. the only issue i see that i didnt think about earlier is that the factory wall had two pinch weld looking pieces that ran up the cab. they filled in the area when you looked at the truck from the side. now with them gone you will have some daylight between teh cab and bed and it might not flow as well. may look like two seperate pieces sitting on the frame.

Looks great man!!!

And again great idea using the doors to skin the cab, looks good!

That cab wall is damn smooth, and looks like you did a great job.

Can't wait to see this bad boy at mazdafest!

yeah I know what you mean, but wont know how it looks until I can get the bed back on. If it looks strange, I can take some 3/4"x 1/8" strap and make fake pinches.

as for the doors as new skins, I was just glad to find out they are as thick as the cab sheet metal so it made life easy.

yeah even with the added back on strips, the back wall would still look sick being all smooth.

well got some more shiny parts for my birthday, and had to slap them on. And got a new camera for my birthday so I needed to take some pic's to figure it out...lol
