Eric, you did a TRULY AMAZING and EXTREMELY SUPERIOR  job on the truck. It looks GREAT. The time and dedication was well worth every bit. Your skills are FANTASTIC. I hope that the truck serves you well for a very long time. It's also cool your wife is so understanding haha. She chose a very nice steering wheel for you too! My gf was questioning me on why I need new spark plugs the other day lol. She will come around tho. Can't wait to see this truck in person some day. Post up a video with a walk around and stuff showing everything off and maybe a roadtest??

Hey Eric;

So on the front mudflaps you still have a gap between the wheelwell arch and the inner fender?  A place where mud and dirt can collect?  Just clarifying the design.  There is that step between the two.

Thanks,

yep theres a gap so anything that gets behind the flare can fall right out the bottom.

Soo for those of you wondering if this truck is just another trailer queen.. answer is no, unless that means it always has a trailer hooked up then yes lol
Hauled this house section just yesterday. I was very pleased with how the truck handled it, felt a lot of confidence behind the wheel. She could definitely haul much heavier payloads.  My friend took a video of me climbing a very steep grade on a gravel road, i'll get it posted when he sends it to me.
Heres a few pics, enjoy

Darn, I was wanting to build one of those adjustable kits for a 12 valve. But I honestly can't blame you for keeping it to yourself. I might be a customer once I get me one!  :)

And the truck is looking better and better every time I look at it! Can't wait to see that video and more of the truck! So awesome that this isn't a trailer queen! :D
