theres alot of teadious stuff to cut out and around in the rear, the plasma cutter made it easy though, i just need to run some new speaker wires now (OOPS!) other then that its coming along also the very back body mounts will need to be cut and moved inward. but thats about ti for the rear. i'm gonna use the stock wiring to hook up external turn signals and brake lights.

would love to, but chances are i'm gonna be in mississippi till dec. they are beed a new destroyer and i'm the commissioning crew, I leave as of now in march but being the navy things can change. i'm just hoping to have it mostly done by next year. gears lockers all that stuff. the build she be down by summer. my wheel base will be some where around 110"-120" thats what we are toying with now just trying to near the front up to hand the crazy articulation since we are building a four ling front and rear.

Funny, Fattony on here is doing pretty much the same thing. Here's how mine looks stretched out a bit. ![[Linked Image]](http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8397/dsc00143vt.jpg) I could have stretched the front a little more but I wanted it to look street legal and having the tires in front of the grill is frowned upon arround here. I'm excited to see where this one goes.

we just started boxing in the back driver side wheel well its coming along really nice. we shpu;d have it done some time next week, i'll be sure to get some pictures. the back axle should be where the rear bumper bolted it up but i think we are going to leave the front in the stock spot, since it seems like to much work to narrow the front end to make room for the big tires and articulation. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Does the top of that beer bottle indicate the height of the new wheel well? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Nice work and nice welder <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I will be very interested to see how the boxing in goes. The cutting seems a bit drastic at this point, but I'm sure you have a vision and a plan to achieve it. Looks like a fun project. Keep at it and a cool truck will emerge, no doubt <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
