Re: DMT Fab Transformer
Thanks. I had contemplated narrowing the hood and cowl like that one, but I decided to keep the cage at ~54.5" wide. Got any othe pics of that rig?
I live near St Louis in IL.
We have two. They are great dogs. They look intimidating, but it's just a look with ours.
You and me both. I wouldn't do it this way if I could do it again. I really loved that rig, but it had short comings. I couldn't fit the 5.3 in it without cutting a lot away, which just snowballed into more getting cut out to the point of thinking new work is easier than rework. The suspension needed tweaked, it crawled great, but the axle wrap on the front was horrendous. Everything was shoe horned in place and I just didn't have much room to work with it being so slammed. I wanted to have front and read 4 link too, but it just wouldn't work out cleanly. So here I am, 4 years later, still regretting the decision, but looking forward to my new rig. I had no intention of ever taking this long, some things in life have changed that made it hard to prioritize spending the time and money on this. I am shooting for this summer and have a long way to go, but now all the tubing and parts are sitting here at my house and I have the time and motivation to do it.
