Exterior

So far so good. Shaved handles, tails, LED's in tailgate, shaved tailgate handle, shaved 3rd brake light, Hagan's gas door, 44X24" slider. Got a bunch of primer right now, and a sheetmetal bed floor. Taking way more time than I'd like, but such is life.

Channelled 2.5". Yes, channelled. Not stock floor, not traditional, channelled. Pro Hopper 4 pump setup with 5 Optima batteries, all batteries under the bed. 8 & 10" rams. Parker Accumulators, 2-ton PH coils up front. Drop spindles from McGaughy's, and Power Stop slotted rotors.

Wheels

Stereo

MBQuart In-dash CD player, Lightning Audio components in doors and kick panels, Omni-Fi 20 gig harddrive, (2) 10" Lighting subs, two mammoth Lightning amps, all of which need to be installed somewhere.

Awards

Featured in tech article in Street Trucks magazine for the hydraulic install.

Future Plans

Finish up the bodywork, get some paint squirted on it soon, and show it a bunch.
