Sexy!

Looks great Steve! Perhaps one day when the right one comes along at the right price I will own one as well lol

Are those the same wheels and tires you had on Abner?

 

[jeeper]

I plan on keeping it around for a long time.

Is that the 10, or 12 month plan??

 

[sixstringsteve]

Are those the same wheels and tires you had on Abner?

Yes. Most of the parts are from Abner (suspension, wheels, tires, axle)

I just picked up rent from a tenant and the neighbor has a DC taco.. And for the first time ever I enjoyed the way it looked. I think your truck has opened my eyes a little.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Cool. They're great rigs and quite expensive. Theyre not for everyone, but I sure like em.

 

[lewis]

I think you just built my future dream rig (minus the mileage)

 

[sixstringsteve]

Thanks, its turned out just the way i had hoped. Yeah, the mileage is a bummer but it runs strong.and i couldnt afford a lower mileage one. I figure everything important except for the engine and tranny have been replaced so it should give me lots more miles.

You know what would look good on their, a nice plate bumper.... course you already know that. I spent maybe $75 or less on my front bumper I just made, some steel I had to buy new and some I got from the remnant bay at Triple S steel

and btw how did the dodge leaves work out for you?

moved it to the driveway to work on it, the springs worked how I wanted moving the axle, just need to go test the flex on them to make sure they work right since they have a different style spring eye compared to every other spring I have seen, some inverse type I guess. getting ready to attempt to make it road legal. couple lights, fender flares, move propane tank, and a couple wire issues, hopefully it works out.

[cruiseroutfit]

Right on

 

[Spork]

Nice, I like the height.

 

[sLcREX]

That looks pretty awesome

 

[STAG]

Nice, I like the height.

Me too, when folded up it is about flush with the top of the cab except for the little hump of the ladder.

i'm sure that this has been covered, but why specifically RTT? it seems like it is a lot of trouble, and space consuming in the back of the truck. just to have a tent that could just as easily be set up on the ground

not knocking it, just curious. i am a tent camper, always have been. not an RV kind of guy either.
