Basics... 4wd, 3 seats, two-tone brown... I've got a bunch of pictures that I need to sort out, here's the most recent...
I owe a HUGE thanks to the following people for their help with this build... I could not have done it without you!
John Bitting - He's the guy that talked me into this build! John has been instrumental in keeping Anna on track and has been nice enough to drag her around behind his DD for me. I can't begin to count all of the times John has helped but it's at least 20 separate trips. Many mahalos!
Nate (and crew) @ Blitzkrieg - These guys are responsible for every tube you see on the truck. Nate also designed and built the rear end housing. It took a little longer than expected (change order or ten) but it was well worth the wait. Those guys put in insane hours and really do take pride in their work. Can't say enough good things about the crew!
Joe @ Murphco - Dirty hooker travel TTB extraordinaire! Joe built the beams and radius arms and they came out better than I had ever hoped for. If you've got a Ford question this dude knows the answer (and part #) off the top of his head. Too bad this guy isn't cranking out products 24/7 because what he does build is very nice. Hint hint Murph, take yo' talent and apply it!
Todd @ Fox Racing Shox - From race shocks to dance moves, T-ODD knows all... and he does it really well too! Can't wait to get out in the dez to dial in this setup.
Randy @ Walker Evans Racing - I screwed up the first time and didn't specify the correct lug seat machining... Randy said no problem, bring the wheels in and they'll take care of it, no charge. Super good people over there! I paid a little more for a Walker Evans Racing wheel and it was well worth it, these guys are local (Riverside) and when an issue came up (my fault) they took care of it!
LJ Kennedy @ The Body Guyz - Major thanks for the use of the trailer! It would have been almost impossible to load and unload this pig without your setup. That winch is a lifesaver! Thanks for the use of the shop too... that was a lifesaver! Oh, and thanks for letting me use your truck and your trailer to tow Anna - the Yukon REALLY thanks you.
Racer X - I changed fuel cell requirements mid-build to gain rear link clearance. Racer-X had the cell in stock and shipped it out the same day... AWESOME service!
Ray & Tony @ Currie - Great team of guys and gals. I purchased a complete 9" for an S-10 back in the mid 1990's from Currie... it's nice being able to do business with the same company a decade later! A fly-by-night shop might be a little cheaper but Currie and their team is in it for the long haul - you get what you pay for!
Patrick Smith = Wiring - After seeing Pat's handywork on a few race cars I started asking around. Everyone said his attention to detail is borderline nuts. I'd agree. Pat has done a whole lot more than just run wire... he's fabricated everything necessary to get the truck wired that should have been done before the truck was dropped off.
Aloha
