cool truck man, are you also building a rollcage?

prerunsilverado · 09-05-2007, 07:29 PM

at this time no, just a bed and engine cage for the suspension. in a couple of seasons i will. thats why i made the bed cage bolt on, so i can take it off one day, sell it, and then cage the whole thing. soon as i get a silverado DD to pull it around too!

Georgiaboy11 · 09-05-2007, 08:19 PM

man you do some sick work! good luck and keep it up. i bet your pumped to finally get it done.

prerunsilverado · 09-06-2007, 07:18 PM

atvrider85 · 09-06-2007, 07:36 PM

prerunsilverado · 09-18-2007, 10:13 PM

FINALLY got something on that resembles an off road truck. rear fiberglass on...yes rear first...dont see that ever do ya. anti bro status!

m3gumby · 09-19-2007, 12:07 AM

Looks great, you gonna paint it all up or leave it...two toned? anyone else think window nets would look sweet on this? what other plans do you have for it as far as trail stuff like aux lights, gas cans etc?

96extcab · 09-19-2007, 02:04 AM

Awesome looking man, nice to see a real true pre-runner. Just found the thread, wish I would have caught it earlier.

04dezert1500 · 09-21-2007, 08:45 AM

clean...do something with those shackle hangers if you pull off the leaves again.

How are you going to setup your fuel fill hose?

prerunsilverado · 09-30-2007, 11:08 PM

fuel hose?...like this!

updates from the weekend:

still have a huge list of things to get done.

dag4566 · 10-01-2007, 02:17 PM

I would flip the U bolts.

Looks great tho.

04dezert1500 · 10-01-2007, 05:25 PM

looks good, weight should be closer to 50/50 with the spares, cell, jack and all that tubing in the back even though you lost the bed.

Awesome work! Truck is lookin good...wish I had the time and space to pull something like that off. Keep up the great work...

Any plans for the engine???

yz250roost · 10-03-2007, 03:33 PM

This thing has come a long way since I looked at this thread last, good job man, it's looking great. Did you ever get the control arms finished?

I know that you already have the rearend done with the long travel leafs, but man, I would love to see someone do a write up on a 4 link build, once you're finished with everything else do you think you might 4 link it in the rear?

Good job!!!

prerunsilverado · 10-03-2007, 08:00 PM

maybe in a few years, right now with what i have done with the truck im gonna have so much to deal with before i tackle that. i still have the have the shocks valved!

plans for the motor include: a new one. ive been thinking about this alot lately and i have 185,000 on the same motor and i think investing in it wouldnt be wise. ive been looking at the HO 5.3 crate motor from GM performance parts. its got a mild cam in it and its street legal, which is what i need.

major plans after the front and rear is done is to buy a DD to tow it!

Koots · 10-03-2007, 08:04 PM

Get an OBS HD or Dually, so that you can save more money for putting the truck together. You are currently building my dream truck, so kick ass with it so that i can vicariously live through you in all my desert racing fantasies

prerunsilverado · 10-03-2007, 08:17 PM

ha ha i would love an HD. my dad has a 07 2500 HD but the truck before that was the same just '05. i love that truck and i drive it around for work all the time. its the company truck and one of the other bosses drives it but i would love to have it :).

my uncle drives my dads truck before the 05, which is a 2001 2500 HD and currently that is my tow vehicle for this season!

chevell27 · 10-06-2007, 07:27 PM
