It is an Autofab hood

Hide it if you can! Its not a race truck, if the thing gets a flat at some point and it takes him an extra 2 minutes to get it in and out of the truck who cares. Id rather the jack stay in nice condition and not fade out super quick, and if hes ever driving it on the street he wont have to worry...

Shit, looks like I need to hire some Home Depot helpers and get to work

Thank you guys! My brother and I filmed a update video over a month ago before i started on the dash and he just hasn't put it out :ROFLMAO: Next time he's down here we will film another video on the interior and also the paneling I'm doing now

This was a hurdle to overcome. Ryan and I were going back and forth on what the right direction was gonna be for the dash in the truck. From the beginning I wanted to build a dash in this thing, and Ryan was exploring the McNeil Prizm dash option. After we got further along with things on the...

You are going to need to add more structure to that upper clevis mount for the front limit straps, that tabs gonna bend over like a wet noodle from all the weight its trying to support. One tab on each side going up to the engine cage tube off the tab you already have as gussets will help alot...

This thing is coming out rad!

TBH Ive never gone through the build thread on this thing, but looking back now WTF is mounted in front of the trans cooler?! Is that a AC condenser?? Thats also a big part of your problem as well!

Our coolers are in very similar spots, the one on the f150 is mounted up higher away from the fuel cell though and is getting more air flow through the front of it. This truck is running the 0059 cooler on it and we’ve never had this trans get over 200* ever. It’s usually in the 160-180 range...

2 main problems, and a 3rd as well but will cost you $$$. 1, Your exhaust routing is the biggest culprit. That hot air rising directly into the cooler in a spot in the chassis that is a dead zone for air flow is heat soaking that cooler. Heat shielding on the exhaust will help some but I dont...

Shouldnt hear it at all! Once the chassis is coated im gonna lay 1/4" foam between the panel and the tubes where the lacing in the backhalf is. All the edges of the panels are rolled as well so its holding tension to the tube work 🤘

Pulled this thing out the other weekend to film a new update video for Wings World. Seeing it in this state is pretty rad with all the front glass on it. Also got some of the rear tin work done, Ryan and I agreed that no bead rolls are gonna be the way to go on this thing, once the panels are...

Thank you guys 🤘 Its been a fun truck to build so far, this is the first time ive been able to do what I want on a truck since I have built our personal f150 back in the day which has been cool to be able to show where im at now. This truck is still on the mild-ish side compared to the ideas I...

Thanks dude, I really struggle on portraying what this thing truly looks like in person through photos. I think offroad expo was cool because alot of people were able to physically see it with there own eyes and be able to look at everything as a whole

Getting the front clip on the truck has been a time consuming process trying to get it all together by myself. This is the first time I’ve mounted an entire front end on a truck from scratch without have a factory core support to work off of. Meaning everything is floating in space to begin with...
