Nice it looks great! Do you have any videos of it? Any plans to add more to the bed?
 
Lol, any photos of the build itself? Decent looking rig. How does it steer w/out having hydro assist?
 
I will add to the bed when funds allow.

I do have hydro assist. I will post some build pics tonight.

Thanks everyone

Jesus Christ, seriously? 2 sets of shafts in two weeks. That's one good thing about the 2.9, I stall before I break anything.:icon_rofl:

I have a few pictures of your truck before the SAS.

You got any pictures of the high tech engine restraint system we rigged up when you broke your motor mount? That needs to be in this thread.
