Paint time. Nothing too fancy, I just want it all to match.

Matching is not too much too ask!

Look at what’s finally home 3 years after starting. Looking spiffy with the new paint, aluminum rack and all washed up. Spent the day tidying up a few things, but she is pretty much done.







Replaced the broken OEM reflector with an aluminum sheet and reflective tape. Should hold up to the abuse better.



New stereo sounds good with JL speakers





This is how we ended up supporting the shell/rack.

Looking good. I bet it's good to have it home. Hard to believe how fast the time goes!

Anyone have any recommendations on insurance for something like this. Before I just had liability, but I’d like to get a policy with a declared value now that I have some money tied up in this thing. I tried Hagerty and the declined me because it was too modified.

[ChaseTruck754]

Most carries will do an "agreed value" policy. It will cost more of course but you typically have an independent appraiser come out and give an estimate and then possibly also show recent sale prices for similar vehicles. A little harder to do that last part with stuff like this, but a decent company should at least work with you to figure it out.

Old girl got some new rubber. KM3’s for primary’s and two takeoff KM2’s from the race truck for the spares. Hopefully they don’t rub too much. They were a tad taller than the Wildpeaks. No way in hell I’m spooning on another set of 6 tires. Them beadlocks are work!

Cycle the front passenger side to make sure the taller tire clears the ac box.

Stock AC box has been removed.

Haven’t updated this in a bit. Had the truck out a few times since finishing the 2.0 build. Had a work off-road trip in Silverwood which was fun but is really more Jeep territory, but I found a few places to air it out





Did some gold digger with my coworker. Getting to the dig sight was a breeze I’m my truck. Took my buddy forever in his 3500.

Only real mods I’ve done lately is I added hood vents and for the smog check mod.

[SteveG]

Yeah! Getting after it. Looks good!

[DMbronco]

It's great to see this truck still getting work in!

I cant believe its been 15 years since I saw it in Ramona at SWP.

Looking better than ever!

[Turf Tamer]

Some air time in Johnson Valley

Seat of the pants it was. Looking at the video I can take some rebound out if the shocks.

[SteveG]

Hell yeah! I love trucks with campers bombing around. Looks great!

I’m impressed with the amount of abuse the truck takes. I was not easy on her that day. Aside from the awning falling off, she took it like a champ.

Had a little mishap doing Jeep stuff at my work off-road trip. Contemplating doing 3” over fiberglass front and rear. Anyone have pics of a stick width truck with glass. Think it will look good or keep it stock?
