Can u post some pics of motor mounts u built and dash mods looking to do this to my truck thanks .

The motor mounts are simpler than you'd think, but the way I did mine is more unique than your average person is going to go to the trouble of doing. I just too the stock motor mounts that bolt to the perches on the stock frame, cut them off flush in the rear at the correct depth, welded them to the inside of the '85 frame rail, then brought the tubing plates up to it on the face of the frame, cut them out to fit around the motor mounts, then welded it all together. With the dash, I took the factory dash completely out of the '85, then took the Fax dash all the way down to its skeleton, positioned it in the cab, then cut away what was necessary a little bit at a time. It was a very time consuming process.

Well, right now, it's on 46's, but I haven't had time to swap the axles out yet, so I don't think I'll be doing any burnouts any time soon.:spit:

I'll try to get back on here in the next couple days when I have more time to share some more info with y'all.

Haven't been on here in a while, figured I would give everyone an update. I finally made a decision on tire size (which dictated the axles I was going to us due to ring and pinion ratio) and picked up a set of Axletech 4000's with a 5.64:1 ratio and going to be running 46" Michelin XML's. Here's a few pics of it on the 46's and half tons, shortly before I tore the axles up :rofl:

I know, between the beach pic and the avatar, he's likely been plenty busy.

Here's the latest pic after the last event. Finally got the Axletech 4000s under it, and my transfer case input shaft snapped the second night.

Got her going again a few weeks ago and took it out again this past weekend. The cryo treated transfer case shafts seemed to do the trick. I beat on it pretty hard with no issues. It also happened to be in the right place at the right time for some girls to pose with it, and subsequently get put on the Triple-X Off-road facebook page:thumb:

Nothing like some hot chicks that like to get muddy Oh and the trucks pretty cool too.
