Are you going to un-crank the torsions a bit? It looks a little too high in the front IMO. Don't get me wrong though, it looks great!

Yes they're getting un-cranked tonight.

After the truck's first glamis trip they had to be cranked way up to get it aligned right because of the spindle issue. Now that Burg fixed that the truck can be aligned with the T-bars lowered back down. I just haven't done it yet.

Back in Texas working. Corral canyon was fun but I had the wrong truck lol.


And nice timing on the bump, just dropped some Polk 5x7s in the doors and rear slots yesterday. Sounds great. Also should have some beach pics/vid here soon, brother used it for a video for a school project.

Haha I wish I was too!

Living with the parents and taking a bit of a gap year. working as a way to avoid real life - what a concept!

I'm going to start school again in the fall, probably not full time though. I'm working more than full time.

Don't get overwhelmed. I know you want to get out there and make some money. Just keep focused. Take it from someone who was in your shoes. I chose to go straight to work, rather than school. Now I am backtracking and working twice as hard to get that degree. So many of my marines have completed part of a degree, and went right back to the military. Get back in there, knock that shit out, and become awesome. You'll thank me later

Good to hear buddy. Love the truck. It looks a lot like the Edge I built for one of my marine buddies, and my DD resembles it. Love the lifted red edges. I know yours is much more capable than either of those trucks, but you get the idea

Thanks man. Hopefully it will be getting more capable this summer, i'm getting close to my $$ goal to go full kill LT hubs and all(no bypass though) but I feel that engine may be more important. We'll see which comes first.

The 3-slo is a beast. Invest in those bypasses. You will be in awe how awesome they make the truck.

Once you have the suspension done, then you can add a v8 or turbo the 3-0 (which if it is a flexfuel truck, allows you go run 100+octane on a turbo v6 in a 4000 lb pickup) this was my intention on D. I just want it to sound good now. I already have a truck that will rape mustangs and Camaros and run with vettes.
