Happy Monday Morning.

Big Updates this week looks like I am going to split this update into multiple e-mails.

Starting with the bed.
The rear belly pan is almost complete.



2nd shot - show's off the air ride tank and hardware



Side View



This is what the back side of the wheel well looks like.



Looking back from the inside of the wheel well

This is what we are planning to do the front of the wheel well.



This is what it would look like if we didn't modify it.



Dave finally trimmed the inner fender to expose the frame.



More to come in another e-mail.

Okay like I said Dave accomplished a bunch of work this week.

Air goes in the driving light.



Curves up to the Airbox.



Here is where it meets the Airbox.



Yet another little detail that needs to addressed



Where going to extend the inner fender to cover the mounting hardware for the GT's Cladding.

While were at the front of the truck.
We finally found a suitable location for the overflow bottle behind the core support.
Yep it's a scary home but it works.



Yep it's tight in there but we can still view the tank from above.



one more post and i'm going to bed

Okay like I said Dave did a bunch this week.

However i actually did this update.

First I want to Thank Caleb Davis for locating a Supplier on a Saturday
that would have a smooth tailgate in stock and willing to wait for me to pick it up.



Okay time to cut it up and install the handle relocate kit from LMC Truck.
PS - man is this a nice kit.



Back View



First Cut the Opening.



Next Drill 14 holes without drilling into your hand.
Mount relocated handle.



Really that's it for this week.

How much bigger are the belltechs vs the zq8 sway bars? Would I see much improvement over the zq8? Also my truck is dropped 5/6.

couldn't tell you for sure. I can measure mine and see if you can find a zq8 truck. I know that some of the guy's on S-Series have swapped out for the bell techs.
