Since Chris gave the suggestion I figured I'd post a thread for my new truck. A lot of guys here know me already and I had a previous build thread for a truck I no longer own for various reasons. Got married, moved into my own house, etc etc so now I can focus on one project and getting it completed.
Last December my uncle passed away, he had this truck since brand new and I immediately told my aunt I wanted to buy it. Plans were to keep it stockish with a 4" spindle and 33s but thats just not me and I wanted to enjoy my time with it. I know he would be happy with anything I do with is as long as it gets the attention he always put into it. The interior is like new considering its nearly 20 years old.
About a month ago I decided I wanted to bag it and fully build it a little at a time so I can actually enjoy it at shows and get togethers, and get a new daily (still on the lookout, I ride a dual sport most of the time). I plan on doing everything, paint, interior, etc, but I want to get the air ride on and take my time doing the rest.
So here we are... I've got most of the air ride parts bought and in hand, just need to grab some odds and ends before I get back working on it Friday. I'm doing tubular uppers and lowers, Air Ride Tech parallel 4 link, BOA. We finished the notch last weekend and since I've been working on tank and compressor placement as well as figuring how I want to raise the tank and etc.
I will edit this post with pictures when I get a chance tonight. Glad to be back on here.
