Just a Truck.

SO GLAD to see this thing power out of the AWFUL 1990's minitruck look presented in the first page or two. Looking amazing now!

[Broucksje]

I have read every page and I really made an account on S/W so I can tell this is really inspirational!
Really love the build man keep it updated please!

HOUSTON... WE HAVE LANDED!

LATE LATE last night around 11ish in the pitch black and mosquito infested area i was able to finally say that the frame is all together in one piece and fully functional. It was nice to stand back and see this think laying frame all the way around and realizing i did all this with nobody to lend a hand or anything.

My stance friends don't understand minitrucks so they just sit back and watch instead lol

I snapped these pictures this morning before i came into work.

What's next you ask?
- Plum all new brake lines
- Hook up the E-Brake Cables
- Drain and re-fill the rearend fluids
- Fabricate a new rear bumper bracket/support
- Fabricate a mount for the valve setup
- Run all of the electric for everything
- Mount / Wire gauges
- Run the airlines / hardlines
- Relocate the battery to the back
- Mount the E-VAP system somewhere
- Mount Compressors
- THE LIST GOES ON BUT, i will be done soon.

Stay tuned..

[Broucksje]

Such a sweet build!

[Randomofodication]

It's looking good on those wheels, and the copious amounts of low. It's gonna look killer with the bed on

[SD202]

BED ON NAO! lol just kidding dude! keep up the good work. im stoked for you! your build is coming together so nicely.

[Granny Gold]

[FunfGang]

I have been waiting so long for this car to see the ground on air, I'm sure you and everybody else has had the same dream as me. Looks awesome can't wait to see it finished. Great work!

[way2fastx3]

Thanks for all of the love everyone, the bed will be on soon once the rear is finished.

I am in the process of pluming the brakes, airlines and making it go up and down without using the house compressor lol. Also going to go back to running my bumper for when i drag it and mess around.

Below is why this thing is not finished.... This is a daily occurrence each week that gets in the way of doing things to complete this.

Words cant describe how excited i am to drive this thing.

love it.

[saturnstance]

Just read through the whole thread. Tremendous progress. I say the size, but maybe I missed what wheels you were going to go with?

Also, just realized you're not too far from the Allentown area where I'm from lol

This is the most updated picture i have but it's almost done!

Dat BootyThief 01 by Cole Lenhart, on Flickr

- Shocks for the rear were built and re-done by my shock builder i used for the racecar.
- Tank Lines/Fittings are all set and pressure tested.
- Pinion Angle has been set.
- Replaced all junk hardware with Grade-8 bolts ect.
- Replaced the e-brake lines
- Re-Ran the regular brake lines / bled them.
- Threw the good ol bumper back on until i build my home-made diffuser over the winter.

I still need to go back to the front and do a few things and then i can run all the lines and wiring.

[SnazzyQ]

Where does one get that "Booty Thief" sticker?

also your truck is 127% badass
