Thanks guys. Had surgery on my both hands and my elbow a couple months ago so that's why updates have been a bit slow.

Would love to go to one of these shows sometime. I know there is a few people in the area with mini trucks that make the haul up there to camp n drag. I'm happy with how my truck is coming out but I assure you it is nothing special...lol. not bad for a guy with an angle grinder and a welder with no previous experience though...

Put the first 25mi on my truck over the last couple days. Everything went great and loving every minute of it. Truck ran great and the only problem I can report is gauge cluster lights stopped working again. Been having problems ever since I switched to LEDs. All gauges work and coolant temperature stayed below 200 even with no shroud. I do need to 're route my upper radiator hose as it is VERY close to the fan when the hood is closed. I stayed within 5mi of my house or so just In case. I love cruising this thing low and was surprised how low I could actually cruise and not bottom out. I swear I bottomed out 10x as much while static while riding higher.

I did have one small mishap where I had my tonneau blows off while I was heading down a side road along side the interstate. I got VERY lucky however when the tonneau landed just a foot from the fast lane. It actualy wasn't hurt at all but I'm just glad I didn't cause a wreck.

It is supposed to rain all this week but if I get it out I'll snap a few pics just to prove I'm not lying about me actually driving this thing...lol. I'd just like to thank you all and these forums because without all of your guys help I would have never accomplished such a build

I ditched my fan and used a Windstar efan on mine. Cost me $10......so far.

Hell ya. I've got a Ford Taurus fan in the works or ls1 fans. But as of right now this thing isn't getting hot at all. I

Been driving the hell out of this thing lately. Nowhere real far but put about 1500mi on it with no problems. That was until the other day. I was cruising with a buddy on the way home from the gym and decided to get on it a bit....got the truck up to about 85 and then utter destruction... I've been running with no fan shroud and just had a temporary bracket holding the top of the radiator. Well it decided to pop off of it and the wind pushed the radiator into the clutch fan. It destroyed the fan, radiator, roadie hose and overflow hose. Got new parts on the way though and decided to use my Taurus fan I had laying around. Only have a pic of the fan in the stock shroud. This was the best I could whip up with the materials I had. Just waiting on the radiator to come in to install it.

Other than this I've had zero problems.v just been having a blast with it. The looks on people's face is priceless as there just aren't any airride vehicles around these parts.

Good looking truck!

That sucks about the fan and all. But at least you're finally driving it

It's all good...there is bound to be bumps in the road here in there with anything custom. Got all the parts besides a new belt. I forgot to write down the length when I deleted the ac...and am having one hell of a time finding the correct length belt. I've pretty much narrowed it down to 2 belts and am going to pick them both up Monday. I burnt the current one in half when I took the clutch fan off. I replaced the studs with bolts and they were a hair too long locking up the water pump pulley...dumb mistake but oh well. I'll post some pics up when it's back in action. Need to go take some nice pics of it somewhere.
