    Second gen slider project

    I want to begin fabbing up a set of sliders for my truck but my rockers are pretty much gone inside and out so i was wondering if anyone has cut the rockers under the door gap and just done away with them? My thought is I would be able to have the sliders up higher for more clearance and do away...

    2nd gen Front bumper build

    Started building a front bumper today, what do you guys think? Rear bumper is shaped the same way and I wanted to stay close to it. It is a little longer then I'd like but I have a body lift and I wanted to keep the frame hidden and the body line tight.

    anyone swapped a 4406 into a 2-door 5 liter

    I have searched on here for a while and the only swaps i have found are 4 doors. I am curious to see if the manual 4406 will fit in the shorter wheelbase of the 2 door. I have read a few of the 4-door swaps and I know they have issues with the clearance on the gas tank and the electric shift...

    factory amp swap

    I have a 98 sport with a aftermarket hu and a 98 mountie with the mach system. My question is how hard would it be to swap the mach amp and sub into my sport? I know the factory amp is usually eliminated when you switch to a aftermarket HU. Can this be done fairly easily, or would it be difficult?
