I don't know why but photobucket is putting '~original' at the ends of your links and it is screwing up the picture link. I was able to delete that portion of the link and then it worked just fine? :S

I think you are right. It must be explorer 11. Thanks for the help. I'll keep trying.

These pictures show my version of 2d's shock hoops. And my high steer.

I went with a different style cross brace mount than 2D's . Same effect just different.

 Should have this thing on the ground by Saturday.

I kind of lost track with the whole pic problem ( I tend to focus on one thing at a time ).

 I will bring you guy's up to speed on the build.

The front end is nearing completion.

Re geared the front axle 4.56 . Open for now. I like to run an axle for a while before locking it. It will have an LSD in it once the gears wear in.

 Machined the high steer arms from 1.5" billet stock. This gives me 1" of clearance above the springs.

Dana 60 tie rod ends. ( go big or go home)

 I decided to drop the idler arm idea . Went with standard cross over steering.

1" solid bar stock for the tie rod.

 Then , because I liked 2D's Shock hoops so damn much, I copied them ( gotta love plagiarism ).

I used 1.5" dom tubing for the hoops.  Tied them in to the front cross member and the front nerf bar mount.

I ended up going farther forward than 2D because I had the steering box installed in the truck already.

 This also allowed me to pick up the hoop with the front bumper.

Once the Tie bar is fabed and in place the front end of this truck will be flex free.

 Thanks for you're patient's and help.... :thumbup:

The truck comes back in the shop today.

Time to pull the bed back off / Bob 15" from the rear prep and paint.

While the bed is off I will add a second fuel tank from a 521 and final all of the plumbing to the rear.... Pics to come.

 Wellllll.Got the tanks in and the second gas door.

The 16 ga sheet should be in on Friday for the double wall.

I did get all of the unistrut bolted to the bed . This should allow for a strong foundation for the double wall .
