No turning back now... Going use some of the old tube for rock sliders. The drive train will be coming out soon.

nice progress!

I needed to get some key measurements for the drivetrain off the old truck so while I had it up in the air, I started taking non-essential things off that I didn't need to move back and forth out of the garage.
Just for kicks I've been weighing things off the old truck to see what they weigh. I knew the old doors were heavy by taking them on and off. They weighed 103 lb. After lightening the new doors a little they weighed 68 pounds. I weighed the old winch plate and it weighed 52 lb. I'm quickly seeing why weighed so much...

Worked on the rig a little while I was waiting on rzr parts.
I didn't like the way the frame was hanging down so I notched it to fit the cab better. Gained 2 3/8" by doing it. That will subtract from the total height. It was a lot of work, but well worth it. Still got the other side to do.

Frame rails look great Kevin. That height reduction will also help lower your center of gravity.

Just about done with the main frame and rock siders. I used some of the 2 1/8 x .188 DOM from the old rig for the sliders. I pushed the support tubes through the box where the exo will come down. It was a lot of work, but should be really strong.

Got the other side done. Ready to bend some tube. [emoji106]

Got the rear hoop done. This is the hardest one to bend in my opinion. I like to keep gaps tight so it has 13 bends in it. The tube is behind the cab so the pic from the back is deceiving. Going to work on the back next.

Not more than I do. I miss my big ass Chevy... But can't wait for my SS10.

Looking awesome Kevin, keep the updates coming .

Are you going to keep the engine in "OEM" location to keep the 117" wheelbase?

Thanks.
Yes, that is the plan.

Made some progress on the build this weekend. Still debating on how to do the front.
