Wow thats a great looking truck with a rock solid plan. That suspension looks like a very nice quality designed kit too. I'll be following this build for sure. Looks like you've got a great base truck for a great build. I'm almost just as excited as you to see what it looks like with the kit on. haha

More than the $8K I paid for the truck, but I plan on having it for a long time. It only has 52,000 miles on it still. It is my version of the Extreme4x4 1/2 Priced Raptor, and that's how I sold it to my wife. I should come in way below 1/2 of the $50K or so a newish Raptor would cost me, and this thing will have more travel and be stronger too.
Next year it's getting a spring under Deaver setup with 3" Bypass shocks, etc. Keeping the bed in tact.

I went back and watched the episodes over, but as far as I can tell, they did't really do a payoff show. I was wondering how well it turned out. Saw Ian at the Off Road Expo in Pomona a few years back, nice guy. Going again this year and picking up the truck there, so I don't have to drive all the way to Murrieta.
