Well I got some stuff I was needing for Christmas so I can update this a little. My parents got me a Air Zenith Digital gauge. From myself I picked up the Engine driven compressor kit from LSoH!! Then lastly the fiancé hooked me up with $500 for stuff for the truck only! I ordered a set of Kelderman tanks with it so far and as soon as I can save up a little more I'm gonna get my Accuair stuff ordered!! Hopefully i'll be getting my control arms anytime! On to the pictures!!!

I got a few more things in the other day!
Got the Accuair VU4
Couple water traps and check valves
Mounted the manifold to the tanks and had one hose made. Had to order another fitting to finish the second hose.
Also got the bags in!!! Dominator 2600s!
Had the windows tinted last weekend as well! 5% all the way around and 50% on the shield. Gonna get it cleaned up this weekend if the snow clears up!

Nothing to exciting but a little update.
Got the tanks all plumbed and ready to go as well as the hoses to where all the bags will be
Took off the color matched handles and put on some factory chrome handles. Wasn't to sure about how it would look but I really like it. Also pulled the trigger on an Nfamus 3 link a couple weeks ago just waiting on it to show up and the income taxes so I can get the e-level and the axle narrowed then this is going to get really serious!!!

FINALLY can make a major update!!
All the factory suspension
Removed and left with this
Strut mount and all the excess mounts removed
Upper control arm mounts assembled
And Welded in place!
Waiting on the spacers for the lower uniballs then the front can go together!
Passenger Notch in place
Both notches in place!
Rear bag mounts in place. Still need to add the other gussets
Link bars and shocks mounted temporarily to get the top mount for the shocks in place.
Now I'm just trying to figure out what to do with the rear end so I can finish the rear and waiting on the spacers for the front!!

Okay well there is an EXTREME lack of pictures! I purchased a house and ran into all kinds of problems with mold and such which put the truck to the back burner! Finally I just had to make time to get it done!
Front finally on the ground!
Start of the front tubs.
Rear tubs in overkill on them but they work
Shitty pictures but ended up smoothing out the fenders and dropping them down a little. They are also bolt on.
Front end all back together!
FINALLY got to roll it out into the sun!!
Bed set back on
Together on the ground!
Changed the gas door to a door off a suburban
Finally a couple pics from Slamboree

Gas door is a nice touch, I don't know why they didn't just put those on everything. Those you push to pop out like some medicine cabinet mirrors so you can get ahold of them to open right?
