god damnit this is cool. i love truck swaps, but luv trucks are definitely the last thing id expect to sit on that frame. very very impressive.

SICK build.. I've got to ask, did the 4x4 Luv's come with a solid front axle?

Wicked Mayhem

no they didnt. from what i remember the front suspension was the same.. front shocks might of been placed a little different to clear the 4wd ****..

i didnt pay much attention the the 4wd frame. i just got the body, threw my old one on and sold it all for 50$ lol

How did you clean up the rust before you painted the frame and suspension?

Love your build. That is one bad *** Luv!

Wicked Mayhem

flap disc and wire wheel. it was just minor surface rust. i could of used sand paper to knock it all down.

Wicked Mayhem

went ahead and assembled headers to make sure everything still fits right just incase before i get them coated

Haha, i mean for that style of cooler isnt it really big??? Obviously way smaller than a radiator style..

How much time do you figure you have in the headers?

Wicked Mayhem

thanks, and its my mom's g8. wish it was mine. i just dont want a new car payment lol



thanks man



you wont see the body painted different for quite a while. im going to rock the factory paint.



Overall Height (in) 2.188 in.
Overall Width (in) 20.250 in.
Overall Thickness (in) 3.250 in.

they have some that are like 6" longer then mine.

and i wish i could say i built the headers. but i took the truck to a guy up in dayton to do them. i dropped the truck off 3-6-10, and got it back 4-6-10. and in that time he ordered everything he needed, and built them. i know he said they were a pain in the ***. the hardest set of headers he has ever built, he charged 1600$ in carbon steel. and mine were 1550$.. some mine were not the easiest lol
