Thanks Jack!!

I took the transfercase down to our local U Blast Sandblasting Shop. My first time at the helm, i think i did ok.. But I was also rushing a bit so I wouldn't get to the next time bracket and have to pay more lol. Also some of this paint was really on there, spent lots of time trying to remove...

Would love to see some progress!!

Drivers side shot. Heres a picture of the motor sitting in its final resting place! We'll until I get everything else in place, I might have to shift it forward a bit. We will see once I get the headers mounted and transmission installed. Not sure if Im going to run an engine...

Ok, back to the fun stuff! While waiting for the other parts to arrive, I came across these sick coil covers from eddies motorsports. They look very slick and clean. I ordered a set, pretty sure I won't see them for awhile. But look forward to getting them! Finally got the waterpump...

While I was waiting for the paint to dry, I decided to reassemble my throttle body that I also had vapour blasted. Did I mention that I love vapour blasting?! This thing literally looks brand new. Total investment $20. Here was my first peak at the progress once the colour layers...

I love hearing everyone's responses, keeps me motivated to push along. I am building this truck in my little townhouse garage, which is challenging at the best of times. In order to tackle this project I had rent a storage unit about 20 minutes away so I could keep all of my "non truck"...

Thanks TwinDuro! I'm so stoked this longtime dream is actually becoming reality. I love the build process, but I also can't wait to drive it haha. I appreciate the kind words

Hey everybody, Im back! Wilson is back on track, at least for nowI know its been awhile and I apologize, life has just been so busy as im sure you are all aware. I recently have just been laid off as a Heavy Duty Mechanic due to Covid-19 which kind of puts a damper on life, but were doing the...

Hey bud! I do have some updates, I will try and update with the pictures and info this weekend! In the meantime, feel free to check out my instagram, I have been posting the occasional pictures on there as its faster lol. I love that you guys are following along, it gives me motivation when i...

These are by far the best rack money can buy in my opinion. The fit and finish is absolutely flawless and its versatility is fantastic. I used to sell these racks at a shop in my neighborhood and have dealt with the owner directly. Great team at Leitner Designs, highly recommend them!

I have heard good things from Rick at Chilliwack Spring, I will keep this in mind, thank you! I actually ordered custom front springs through Alcan in Colorado with Offroad Designs particular specs. Well see how they turn out, and then I'll decide what to do with the rear. Thanks for the follow...

Sorry for the late replay, I'm terrible apparently at staying updated with you guys! Just been so busy working trying to get more overtime to buy truck parts! So since last time I posted my ARB Air Locker arrived!! So stoked for this part of the build. I also got a nice black ARB Diff Cover and...

Thanks Twinduro! I've got a Dana 44 Front Axle and Dana 60 Rear. Will be running ARB Lockers front and rear, only because ive always wanted them but could never justify or afford them. But I'm going for it for this build since I plan on keeping it for the long haul! I have a Gen 3 LQ4...

I appreciate that thought as I do try and find things that are fairly common and have lots of parts available. Reason I like this system is that it is fairly simple, clean and intuitive. I am a mechanic by trade so I am familiar with the workings of what I am installing so I feel like i should...

Flexing out the suspension, pretending im wheeling already out in moab This definitely crushed my creeper lol. Oops. Gotta work with what you have when your building in tiny spaces! Everything has to be mobile! Removing the original spring hanger bolts from the frame in preparation for the...

Cylinder Heads after Vapour Blasting

Alright guys, its been over a month since my last post! My apologies, just been so busy lately starting a new job and getting a bunch of stuff done around the house on my "Honey-Do" list lol. I don't mind though, shes worth it and lets me have toys haha. Anyways, I have been making some good...
