Just a Truck.

CHANGE IN PLANS!

I have been thinking about the whole idea of bagging / body dropping the truck and after this weekend at the Carlisle, PA Truck Nationals it hit me.... EVERYONE AND THERE MOTHER does a bagged S-10!

I am going to keep the truck static 100%! I like being unique and keeping it static but i am going to have to step up my game ALOT to get any sort of stance going on!

You bimmer people might like this..... Once i stop driving the truck as my daily and pick up a new daily driver the real work is going to begin. I have a few BMW guys who are building a e36 Track/Drift Car and there not going to be using the rear sub-frame and all the suspension with it so i am going to take that and fabricate it somehow to the rear of the truck so i can go low and low can go and also run crazy camber. Still figuring out what i am going to do with the front issue on lowness but ill get there.

I want to get out of my bull crap stage with this build and start cracking down on some real work.

A view of what the camber would look like after it would be done.

Thoughts???

i really like this idea for your truck ! this is what I'm going for with my ranger now. I'm putting my front lip 1.5" from the ground, and if you were to do a major static drop like that it'd be bad as hell!

Whoaaaaaaaaa just found this

Hmmmm Wish i had some updates for ya.....

As of right now, i just daily the truck short distances when needed to.
I usually just have the GF drive around just to save the truck.

Currently i am 50/50 on weither i am going to stay static or go with bags.
There's alot of pros V.S. cons to the situation but ill decide that once the time comes.

Currently putting all my money into the bank to save up for a brand new car for my daily so i can start to actually build this truck.
Currently flip flopping with new jobs so money comes and goes over time.
