Thanks guys!!! It's slowly coming together. I still need to do the rear bumper, the deck plate, and work on wiring the truck for lights. Still lots to be done....

[Scott M]

Also need to move the front axle forward

[Scott M]

So I decided, since I have the materials laying around to update my rear bag set up. Here's the before middle and end result. I had to cut all of the bars to fit it as best as I could but I ended up scratching some of the anodize in the process.

[Snowman]

That is one cool looking K whopper. Loving the slammed look.

[Scott M]

Thanks Snowman!! I only have a few more things to do and hopefully it'll be done for a bit. My custom build is currently on hold while, Russ and I come up with a functioning airbag. To lift the truck off the ground.😎 After we figure that out this truck will fully lay out as well.

Haha, snap! My truck has been sitting on the shelf for four years because I was trying to figure out how to have functional airbags for the slammed stance. I recently resurrected my build thread. I haven't been working on it for other reasons too, but what halted the project was the air conundrum. I'm still working on it. Hope you and Russ figure it out soon so we can see your truck in action! I love the badge modification to the grill, looks great.

Seriously. The bags seem like such a simple thing, buts it's really been and still continues to be a challenge. Snowman I was looking for your build thread, I always enjoy checking people's rigs especially the custom trucks. Which one is it?

Nice looking truck

[Scott M]

Thanks!! Still more to come��

[Scott M]

It's been a bit, but thought I'd update where the truck currently sits

So the goal is to make the airbags functional. Russ from True scale has been helping me out. Since Arizona is not the place to be during the summertime it's been too hot to work on it, so last week I wrapped it up and shipped it to Russ for him to help me finish it.

[cummingsman29]

Very cool can't wait to see it working !

[Scott M]

Thanks man, hopefully Russ finds it nice enough to take to Indy. I forgot to mention, I also had Russ cut me another front I-beam even narrower than the first one I had cut. It's so narrow now that the uprights for the spindles start at the edge of what used to be the spring pack.
