I built it myself man. I'm about to start building and selling them. It mounts between the doors and the cab to the inner frame. e53b169dc3f65d8d32378c393c3b43a3.jpg

Hey guys. Looks like it's been a long while since I updated this. Lots of changes, I'll try to sum it up. Blew a piston ring about a year ago on the old ve pumped engine and kept having auto trans issues. Yanked both and put in my rebuilt ppump 12 valve as well as a G56 6 spd trans with a dual disk clutch. I also put in the 271D transfer case so I could stay with a 1 piece driveshaft. I still havent solid axle swapped it yet but that's next. While the truck was down I changed the interior up. I replaced the 13 year old carpet with blue vinyl flooring that matched the bedliner. Then I put in laramie longhorn seats and they are damn comfortable. I also hydro boost swapped the truck and added a few more lights here and there while I had time. I found a rear bumper I liked but it came on a 13 F150. I fabbed it to fit and it came out decent. To my knowledge they dont make a bumper like this for a dodge.

Next up is the solid axle swap as well as a bigger turbo and hood stack.[emoji102][emoji102]

Also, I usually post my recent updates on Instagram.

Been a while since I posted here. How's the truck running? I recently bought a new to me 08 1500.
