Xoloanon Dam X .. Stop sharing pics, your shit looks new .. lol

I'm so jealous ... JK BTW, you're quite the inspiration.

Thanks

Xoloanon

OGMB2K thank you! You’ll get there I’ve been at this almost a year to get where I’m at.

I certainly understand that, I have been building one off custom cars all my life .. The difference now is the internet. All of a sudden (past 10yrs), the internet has put my ADD in overdrive and now I want to build these projects as quickly as we post progress pics .. lol

I'll often get the feeling that I am not working hard enough because I can describe two weeks worth of work (literally two days off) in four pics and a paragraph .. lol

Dam you internet ...

Oh, did I mention Mitch and is YouTube sorcery? LOL
Today's video: Let me show you how to dismantle and re-assemble your entire truck, (20 minute video), that' how easy it is...
Meanwhile a month and a half in your truck looks like a grenade went off in it as you pause Mitch's video for the 1000th time. LOL

Mitch, I'm just having fun at your expense, this is exactly why I do not film anything I do. It slows you down twice as much and that's even before you edit all the cuss words out of it .. Many props to you my friend ..

OGMB2K Yes filming and thinking about how to film the task wears a person down and slows the job down tremendously.

I would be on the road already in this truck if it werent for saving these tasks and wanting to make a video for the masses.

Keeping on the subject ..
I have not seen any other damage to the frame other than those tabs being bent to hell. As it stands I have basically an entire new suspension to install under this truck.
Parts Include:
Upper / Lower control arms, all the ball joints, bushings, the Bell Tech front sway bar, pitman arm, shocks, brakes, brake lines and torsion bars.
So everything, sorry if I may have missed something.

So should I go ahead and begin to replace the front end components, or should I wait until the repair is done to those cross member tabs? I know for sure the engine has to stay out until its done..
