Lewis and I were talking about his truck today and we were bored, so he decided to take his truck to the next level :eek: We went and got some grinding discs and sawsall blades, the pictures do more talking. His plans now are an exo cage with a hoop going around the grille (chrome part) then run tube off of the grille hoop/bumper to the sliders and make some skins for the fenders out of aluminum probably. The big gap between the hood and the winch is where there was some stock plastic so we are going to have to do something there to make it look better. Mainly he will now be able to cut a little more sheet metal in front of the doors to lower the whole truck down, because it sits way high for 41's. On with the pics hitit

I want too, i think Lewis will be much happier when it is lower, You just cant see **** out of it, but without the fenders it is alot better.
 
looks bitchin.........why not take the bumper off and raise it some to fill that gap, it will give him more ground clearance there and a better approach angle...then you can lower the truck. how are you planning on lowering it?

I have no problems cutting up the fords! It comes easiy :eek: My plan was to lower the bumper. It will just be a little more work than I had planned. I will get pics of the bumper mounts to give yall an idea.
 
I figured out where you live. Thats the abandoned chevron on hargrove RD. I'll stop by after work and check it out.
 
Yep, right off of hargrove, daniel stopped by this morning.  
Well I got the bumper moved up, and it looks alot better without the huge gap between the hood and winch.  Cant get a pic yet, it needs a new battery and its too close to the wall for a picture.  All thats left is re mount the huge surge tank for the coolant.  More pics this evening.

Yep, needs some tube to finish it off.
 
It is pretty huge in person, I can only work on it so long before I get tired of climbing. Looks like our only option is to do a taller hoop for the coilover, there is not enough adjustment on the bodies to lower them down.
