NOt a lot more done Visiually.....But On a good note, damn thing sits so low we can't get it off the lift.






Goofing around with a buddies V and seeing how his wheel would look on my truck for a street wheel.....I likie.






Latest shot....Just sitting on its own suspension for the first time really.

I believe this was a 2wd model, not AWD.

Neither of my trucks have ever been at D42.

No real updates yet, at least nothing worthy of taking pictures of. Maybe this weekend.

Got Fuel?

Since the power goal of the truck changed from my original build and class plans, I had to step it up in the fuel dept.

Small Update.....Not much progress at all as I recently moved out of the shop I was working out of, and I am in the process of looking for a new place to do work.....This has slowed progress not only on the RapeTruck, but many of the other projects I had going as well. All I can hope for is that I find a new place to work out of quickly that is close to home and affordable or who knows when this stuff will get done. Below is pics of the move, temporary borrowed garage strictly for storage, and some pretty Powdercoated piping for some nice bling under the hood. If only I can get this damn thing done.

Killer Killer Killer.
Good luck finding a new place.
I just picked up an AWD blue TBSS. I love it so far. BUt i do read alot of bad stuff about the stock oiling in them. Kinda makes me worry.
