Truck looks like lots of fun man good work! How does the rear driveshaft like that steep angle?

It took some grinding to get everything to clear. Its not to bad at ride height its but when it drops all the way down its pretty well at the max angles for the u-joints. Time will tell if it will hold up or not. My next big mod I think will be a SYE (slip yoke eliminator)

This isn't my style of truck... but I have to say it looks like hell of a good time. The fabing also looks great! Very well done for sure!!

Some pics from the first run, everything held together great, minus the mangled steering stabilizer. A few minor things to sort out. It seems that the rear has settled down some, I'm thinking a longer shackle will be about the only good fix for it. Lost a little power steering fluid and brake fluid throughout the day. Even with the 5.38 gears I need to rig up a fan to keep my trans temps down.

After the last run I finally pulled out the wet and musty smelling carpet, then had to tackle the rusted out floor that I have been putting off for way to long.

Not much has happened on the truck after the floor. I picked up a jeep XJ shaft and added a couple small LED lights behind the grill
