Since Kritter is SF bound..... I'll post a lil update. Got her all buttoned up last night. I drove it home and to work and back today, about 82 miles on her. 4.56's and bald 31's are pretty fun on the freeway. All in all she is a good driving rig, looking forward to 35's and some real shocks on it to she what she can do.....

That's looking good Kris. If you get a chance, could you take some more pics of the rear bumper? I don't want to copy it, i'm just looking at different options for when i do mine.

Some pictures of the latest changes. Crossover steering so I dont have to worry about bending anymore ambulance steering. Coilovers and airbumps added as well. Dialing in my own spring rate made a world of difference. Picked up quite a bit more speed and its much easier on the truck as a whole even with the faster speed.

Everything seems to work great and I love the fact its a sleeper. Preran a lap of yesterday's race course which was an incredible course laid out. I would say it was the fastest and smoothest course for barstow I have seen since ive been going out to barstow races. 35mph average around it with no hiccups, no beverages spilled and AC and Sirius crankin. A little bit of tuning on the front shocks will make it better but I have no complaints where it is at now.

Thanks to Jon @ crossroadsfabrication.com for letting me use his shop to do the work, Skyler for turning wrenches and making shit happen and Flynn for welding.

Looks great Kris!! I saw you a couple of times yesterday, but never had a chance to stop you and say hi!!

Curious, any side shots? And what spring rate are you running on the coilovers?

IMHO I would do the exact same thing if I started all over, but don't get me wrong I love what I've done so far, but in all honestly great build.
